FC Barcelona has reportedly made a significant decision regarding the future of midfielder Pedri. The player is currently sidelined due to a recurring right thigh injury that has kept him out of action for a considerable period. This setback marks the third consecutive season in which Pedri will miss over 50% of his team's games.
Recent reports suggested that the Barcelona board was considering the possibility of selling the 21-year-old following his latest injury setback. However, new information indicates that the club's stance may have shifted. It is now believed that key figures within the club, including president Joan Laporta and Sporting Director Deco, are looking to secure Pedri's long-term future at the club.
Despite his injury concerns, Pedri remains a crucial player for Barcelona, with the club eager to extend his current contract, which runs until mid-2026. The intention is to tie him down with a new deal that could potentially keep him at the club until the end of the next decade, approaching his 30th birthday.
As a passionate supporter of Barcelona from a young age, Pedri's commitment to the club is seen as unwavering. His father, a dedicated fan who established a Barca supporters club in Tenerife, has instilled a deep connection to the club in Pedri. Therefore, it is expected that negotiations for a contract extension will progress smoothly, securing Pedri's future at Barcelona for years to come.
