Pedri’s situation at Barcelona has become worrying, not only for the club but also for the player himself. The Canary Islands midfielder believes the team has reached a critical point in midfield and cannot go another season without top-class reinforcements. His message is clear: summer signings are essential to guarantee performance and consistency.
Barcelona relies excessively on Pedri, who is forced to play almost every minute when available due to the lack of a natural replacement capable of filling his role without affecting the team’s performance. This excessive pressure, according to the player, is directly linked to the team’s recurring injuries and places a significant physical burden on a young player during a long and demanding season.

Pedri doesn’t mention a specific name, but he focuses on the type of player who can provide him with genuine rest without impacting the team’s performance. Within the club, Bernardo Silva is considered a top option, especially after his contract with Manchester City expired. However, what is most important for Pedri is having a player who can rotate him regularly and maintain his fitness.
Those close to the player confirm that his warning is entirely logical: continuing without a reliable midfield replacement will increase the risks and could lead to burnout among the key players. The entire dressing room believes that bringing in a new midfielder has become essential to protect the core elements of the current project and ensure the team’s consistent performance.
The message is clear: if Barcelona wants to maintain midfield balance and ensure Pedri’s ability to compete for and win titles, they must act in the summer transfer market. Another year without reinforcements would be a significant gamble and would not allow the young player to maintain his physical and technical level during a long and demanding season.
