“Pedri is the new Iniesta” , “Pedri smiled back at Messi” , “Pedri is key to him future of Barcelona ”, “ Pedri, the player who has added the most value to his profile in the world ” are just some recent newspaper headlines that talk about prodigious and surprising performance of a footballer of 18 years that has surprised the whole world with his great performance and self-confidence, worthy of a veteran.
What Pedri does on the pitch is colorful, fun and different , that’s why Messi loves to play with him and note : great with the ball at his feet and just as efficient moving without it, he is someone who watches football just like the Argentine star, with a second or two in advance of his rivals.

Already in La Unión Deportiva Las Palmas had given some samples of its brilliance and it was right there where Barça tied him up for the ridiculous figure of $ 5.5 million dollars ; At the rate it is going, we could be talking about one of the most notable “robberies” of Barcelona in all its history in the transfer market , of course, next to the boy who signed the 14 years from Newell’s Old Boys.
It is not an exaggeration when it is said that Pedri, a footballer with the DNA of Barcelona running through his veins, r remembers the most virtuous midfielders in the history of Spanish football: Xavi and Iniesta , the two players that the Barcelona fans miss the most.
