Pedri is 22 years old and has already established himself as one of the main references at FC Barcelona. His maturity, talent, and leadership have made him a symbol of the new blaugrana project. Beyond what he brings on the field, he is also an admired figure off it.
Meanwhile, as the European market becomes increasingly aggressive, Pedri keeps his solve. He has said "no" to dizzying offers and has reaffirmed his intention to keep succeeding at Barça. His commitment has moved both the club and the fans.

The weight of a symbol in full maturity
In this last season, Pedri has shown he is up to the level of the greats. Under Flick's orders, he has returned to his best version, with intelligence, sacrifice, and imbalance from midfield. His connection with the game is total and his profile has increased in value to historic levels.
It's not just his technical quality: his personality, media silence, and maturity have made him a reference. Despite past injuries, he has come back stronger and has made it clear that he wants to leave his mark at Camp Nou for many more years.

FC Barcelona announced the contract renewal of Pedro González, known as Pedri, until June 30, 2030. The signing took place at the club's offices, with the presence of president Joan Laporta, vice president Rafa Yuste, and sporting director Deco, as well as the player's family. With this renewal, Barça reaffirmed its commitment to the Canary Islands midfielder as one of the pillars of its long-term project.
Although Pedri had a contract until 2026 with a release clause of 1 billion euros, the club decided to improve his financial terms and extend his contract. The new agreement included a significant salary increase, estimated at around 9.4 million euros per year, consolidating his status as one of the most highly valued players in the squad.

Multibillion temptations… but total loyalty
In recent weeks, several European giants have once again inquired about him. Offers of all kinds have come from England, Germany, and Saudi Arabia. But it was Al Hilal that broke all the molds with an absolutely massive offer.
The Saudi club offered 400 million euros gross for seven seasons. With an annual net salary of about 57 million, personalized residence, private flights, his own work team, and a global advertising contract. An extravagance only within reach of a few.
But Pedri didn't hesitate for a second, he didn't want to listen any further. The answer was clear: "Thank you, but no." Because for him, Barça is not just a club, it's his home.

The refusal has been celebrated internally as if it were winning a Champions League. In an era where everything seems negotiable, Pedri has shown that there are values that are still worth more than any check. His loyalty is an example for the youth academy and a relief for Flick, who considers him an undisputed pillar.
Joan Laporta is already working on his new contract extension. The club wants to reward his loyalty and protect him against future attempts. Because if Pedri is already worth 400 million, his value as a symbol is incalculable.
While some are thinking about leaving, he has chosen to stay. That is also making history.
