Every season, the same scenario repeats itself: playing without clear alternatives in his position, extreme exhaustion, and recurring injuries that prevent him from reaching his full potential. Pedri, who has suffered from this situation repeatedly, has expressed his deep dissatisfaction in the dressing room. He doesn’t want to return to the same vicious cycle of treatment and injuries. This time, he has asked for something different: “Change.”
Bernardo Silva: The Ideal Partner
Within Barcelona, Bernardo Silva has been a name on everyone’s lips for years. But this time, it’s not just the club’s desire; it’s Pedri’s personal wish. With the increasing physical strain on the player, he needs a midfield partner, someone to ease the burden and reduce his injury rate.
Silva, who is entering a crucial phase of his contract with Manchester City, is the ideal option. With his time in England seemingly nearing its end, his summer release clause could be within Barcelona’s reach. Moreover, Silva has repeatedly expressed his admiration for the Catalan team’s style of play, strongly suggesting that all the conditions are right for this transfer.
Why Bernardo?
Pedri, considered the heart of Barcelona’s midfield, doesn’t want a repeat of his previous injury woes. He needs a player like Bernardo Silva, who possesses exceptional technical skills and leadership qualities, allowing him to share responsibilities and reduce his constant physical strain. With this ideal partner, Pedri can regain some of his fitness, which will significantly contribute to the team’s overall performance.
The Next Step: Barcelona or a Fresh Start?
According to sources within the club, Barcelona’s management seems optimistic about this deal. Silva is a reasonable option in terms of price, and the excellent relationship between the two clubs strengthens the possibility of the transfer. This signing could give Pedri a chance to rest, which would help prolong his career and reduce his risk of future injuries. If the deal goes through, manager Hansi Flick will greatly benefit from a better distribution of workloads among the players.
Pedri has made his decision. He wants the club to take a bold step to avoid a recurrence of his physical struggles in the coming seasons. The ball is now in Deco’s court, Barcelona’s sporting director: Will Pedri’s dream of having a partner to ease his injury burden come true?
