Barcelona dash Pep's hopes

Pedri is having an excellent season.

Several British newspapers have reported that Manchester City are preparing a €100 million offer for Pedri. However, Mundo Deportivo insists that the Catalan club have no intention of letting the Canary-born midfielder leave. Barcelona's board insist that Pedri is not for sale.

However, Barcelona admit they would not be surprised if big European clubs target the Spain international, after a phenomenal season. Pedri has been one of the best attacking midfielders in Europe this season, becoming central to Barcelona's play.

Witnessing that, Manchester City is ready to spend money to buy Pedri, in the context of Kevin De Bruyne's high possibility of leaving Etihad this summer. The Manchester team is ready to spend 100 million euros or more for the Spanish player.

However, Barcelona insists that the club will never sell Pedri. Barcelona are even more reassured that the 22-year-old has no intention of leaving the team. He just extended his contract with Barcelona until June 2030 two months ago.

“I dreamed of this since I was a child, and the reality has exceeded my dreams. I am very happy to renew to continue this dream. Now it is time to do my best to win more titles,” Pedri said when signing the contract with Barcelona.

This season, Pedri has shown impressive form. He is a mainstay in coach Hansi Flick's scheme, appearing in 44/45 matches, only missing once against Valencia due to gastritis. Teammate Gavi even believes that Pedri, not Raphinha or Lamine Yamal, deserves to win the 2025 Ballon d'Or.
