Barcelona’s young star met with the journalists the day before. He talked about the future projects and how successful he wants to be in Barcelona.
Lets win trophies every year
Spain midfielder Pedri declared his desire to “win everything every year” after signing a new contract at Barcelona, which he believes to be the “best club in the world”. The 18-year-old has secured new terms until the end of the 2025-26 season with a release clause of €1billion after establishing himself in the first team last term, having been initially signed from Las Palmas to play for Barcelona B.
Pedri featured in a club-high 52 games across all competitions in 2020-21 and played the seventh-most minutes (3,529). The teenager also completed the fifth-most opposition-half passes of any Barcelona player in LaLiga (1,100). The young midfielder has also impressed for Spain, with nobody completing more passes ending in the final third at both the Tokyo Olympic Games and Euro 2020 – making 117 in Japan and 177 in his first senior major tournament.
Pedri wants to stay in Barcelona for many years
My hope is to be here for many years. It is a difficult moment but it is the best club in the world and it is going to get up and achieve great things,” Pedri said. I’m at the best club in the world and I want to aspire to win everything every year. Thank you to the president and the club and I hope [I will be here] for many more years. They have all made me improve and grow as a footballer and hopefully many more dreams will come. It is true that everything has happened very quickly but thanks to these three people, my mother, my father and my brother, they help me to have my feet on the ground and give me advice. I am very grateful to them for everything.
