At FC Barcelona, a recent statement from Canarian midfielder Pedri has caught everyone by surprise.
Pedri, regarded as one of the top midfielders globally, is often seen as a contender for the Ballon d’Or. The Tenerife native has been in outstanding form and, under the guidance of Hansi Flick and Julio Tous, has become the player Barcelona fans had hoped to see. While he wasn’t named MVP in Barça’s win against Atlético Madrid, he delivered another impressive performance at the Wanda Metropolitano.
However, not all news is positive for Barcelona, which leads La Liga EA Sports and is in the Champions League quarterfinals as the international break begins. The concern stems from a recent cryptic message posted by Pedri on social media. According to sources close to the club, “Pedri’s post indicates that he is contemplating leaving Barça in the upcoming transfer window.”
Pedri’s statistics this season are as impressive as his on-field performances. After renewing his contract until 2030 a few weeks ago, the Canarian player has netted 5 goals and provided 7 assists in 42 appearances. Barcelona holds Pedri in high regard, but his recent social media post has sparked concern: it now seems possible that he might leave the club.
Unexpected Development: Pedri May Leave Barça
Pedri’s season has been exceptional, and Barcelona is pleased with the progress the Tenerife native has made after facing previous challenges. With physical discomfort behind him, he has found a training regimen under Julio Tous that suits his playing style. However, despite Pedri’s positive form, his recent social media post has raised alarm.
More than 15 million people have seen Pedri’s message, which was posted on his official Instagram account. “The renewal made me think. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been considering an idea, and I might even consider returning to the market,” the Canary Islander wrote, leaving FC Barcelona worried.
While the message is believed to refer to commercial and advertising matters, the club was quick to respond, concerned about its implications. Some sources within Barcelona even speculated that Pedri’s account may have been hacked, prompting the club to investigate the situation further.
