Barcelona wonderkid Pedri has teased that his club should make a daring move sign Spain teammate Marco Asensio from bitter rivals Real Madrid.
The 20-year-old midfielder has been playing alongside Asensio at the World Cup, and the pair helped La Roja destroy Costa Rica on Thursday as part of an emphatic 7-0 drubbing. While Pedri didn't register a goal or assist, Asensio got on the scoresheet to remind the world of his ability after entering the final year of his Real Madrid contract.
After six seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu, the 26-year-old forward's deal with Los Blancos is set to expire next June amid links of a free transfer to Manchester United and Liverpool. His predicament has prompted Pedri to suggest that he joins him at Barcelona, a move which would no doubt send shockwaves around Spanish football due to the two clubs' heated rivalry.
