Barcelona is going through a delicate phase this season, not only in terms of competition but also within the dressing room, where certain situations have begun to attract the attention of both the management and the fans. While the team continues its efforts to regain its form, a surprise has emerged from within the squad itself, with an unexpected indication regarding the future of one of the club’s young talents.
While the management works to address the injury crisis in midfield, internal discussions have surfaced, sparking considerable debate. Signs are beginning to point toward technical disagreements concerning the participation of one of the rising stars, despite his physical readiness and gradual return to the pitch.

It is at this juncture that Pedri’s name has come to the forefront, though this time not on the field.
Pedri gives bold advice to a Barcelona player about his future
Reports from Barcelona reveal that Pedri offered direct advice to his young teammate Marc Bernal after noticing his diminished role in Hansi Flick’s plans, despite recovering from a serious injury that sidelined him for an extended period.
Bernal, who returned to action around two months ago, has only managed 32 minutes across five matches, leaving him almost entirely out of Flick’s plans, even amid the midfield injury crisis.
According to sources, Pedri believes Bernal will not get a real chance this season and has explicitly advised him to seek a loan move in the winter that would guarantee consistent playing time to aid his development, rather than remaining on the bench without contributing.
Barcelona is taking its time… and does not want to let the player leave now
Despite Bernal’s willingness to leave temporarily, the situation within the club appears different. The sporting management and coaching staff do not want to let the player go and prefer to monitor his physical progress after the injury, especially given the sensitivity of this type of injury, similar to the one Xavi suffered previously.
The player feels fully fit and is eager to fight for his place, but the current situation offers him very limited playing time, leaving him at a crossroads ahead of the winter transfer window.
