Barcelona is gearing up to present midfielder Pedri with a fresh long-term contract, viewing the Spanish international as the cornerstone of their future at the Camp Nou.
As reported by Mundo Desportivo, the Catalan club is poised to engage Pedri’s agent imminently to extend his contract, which currently runs until 2026.
Despite the existing deal, Barcelona is eager to secure Pedri’s services for the long haul, recognizing his potential as a future superstar for the club.
Amidst a challenging season marred by injuries, the 21-year-old midfielder has faced setbacks, notably sidelined by multiple injuries that hindered his participation throughout the campaign. Battling a hamstring injury since August last year, he is presently recuperating from a muscular issue.
However, Barcelona, reigning champions of La Liga, remains steadfast in their belief in Pedri’s talents, underscoring their determination to formalize his commitment with a new contract.
In an interesting development, Pedri, alongside Frenkie de Jong, is anticipated to make a return to the squad ahead of Barcelona’s impending Champions League fixture against Paris Saint-Germain.
Looking forward, Xavi’s Barcelona squad is bracing for a showdown against Kylian Mbappe and his teammates in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final fixture scheduled for Wednesday.
