Spain's Mundo Deportivo reported on the 26th (Korea time) that `Pedri is about to renew his contract with Barcelona.' Pedri's contract will end on June 30, 2026, but the contract is expected to extend to 2031, just like Ronald Araujo. Mundo Deportivo said there will be an announcement of the completion of the contract once the details are completed.
Pedri is undoubtedly Barcelona's ace. Pedri, a Las Palmas youth native who made his debut in the Las Palmas first team at the age of 16, received a lot of attention for his sensational performance, scoring four goals and seven assists in 37 games in the 2019-2020 season, his debut season.
Barcelona, who recognized Pedri's talent, approached him early. He paid a transfer fee of 5 million euros to have Pedri. Pedri, a Barcelona fan since childhood, cheered. Since the first season of the transfer, he has been a strong starting player. He played in every game and showed his best performance to the extent that some said he was overworked. He scored four goals and six assists in 52 games.

Pedri, who showed his best performance since returning, lifted his first Primera Liga championship trophy with an ace appearance in the 2022-2023 season. However, he was hampered by frequent injuries. I couldn't play many games because I was glassy. But the class was clear. In the game he played, he showed tremendous impact and showed off that he is Barcelona's ace.
He has improved a little bit from his injury this season, improved further and made sure he is one of the best midfielders in the world.
Saudi sent a love call to Pedri. Saudi Arabia is interested in coming from the Primera Liga, with Vinicius Junior and Pedri as key targets. Saudi Arabia, which hosted the 2034 World Cup, is aiming for a player who can perform best at this time. That's why I want Vinicius and Pedri.
