According to information from the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional,” Manchester City tried to entice Pedri with a massive financial offer, but the Canary Islands midfielder was firm in his response: his priority is to stay at Barcelona.
At 22, Pedri has regained his top form, and his sole intention is to succeed with the Blaugrana, putting an end to any rumors about a potential departure. Pep Guardiola’s team has been closely monitoring Pedri, considering him the perfect player to strengthen the team’s midfield. City sees him as a player with exceptional technical abilities, great vision, and adaptability to any style of play.
The English club’s goal was to convince him with an enticing financial offer, taking advantage of Barcelona’s financial difficulties and the uncertainty surrounding the club’s future. Despite continued rumors about Manchester City’s interest in recent months, Pedri was clear: his present and future are at Barcelona.
Despite the struggles Pedri has faced due to injuries, he has regained his best form this season. With Hansi Flick now in charge, Pedri has once again become a key player in Barcelona’s midfield, delivering outstanding performances that prove why he is considered one of the brightest talents in world football.
Pedri believes he still has much to offer Barcelona, and his goal is to become one of the club’s legends. His relationships with players like Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, and Lamine Yamal are essential parts of the team’s future project. He is convinced that Barcelona will return to competing for major titles.
Moreover, his teammates consider him a natural leader, despite his young age. His commitment and love for the club have been clear since he joined Camp Nou in 2020, and now more than ever, he is determined to prove his worth and become a cornerstone of the team for years to come.
At Barcelona, Pedri’s decision was met with great relief. Amid the club’s financial difficulties, there were rumors about the potential sale of key players, but in Pedri’s case, the goal has always been to keep him as a central figure in the future project.
Laporta’s management is fully aware that players like Pedri are the core of the club’s future, and his rejection of Manchester City’s tempting offer sends a positive message about Barcelona’s stability. While Manchester City may revisit their pursuit of Pedri in the future, it is clear that Pedri has sent a clear message: his heart and football soul belong to FC Barcelona.
