Pedri has become one of the essential pillars of FC Barcelona under Hansi Flick's management. His ability to control the pace of the game, his field vision, and his skill in partnering with his teammates have been key to the team's success this season. The Canary Islander has evolved into the leader of the Barça midfield, and his performance is essential to understanding Barça's achievements this season.
Despite his undeniable talent and being the core of the Barça game, Pedri knows he can't do it all alone. In the midfield, he needs teammates to help him set the pace of the match and keep control for the full 90 minutes. Additionally, in attack, the '8' requires the presence of partners who can take advantage of his precise passes and create goal-scoring opportunities.
Pedri Makes a Wish and Barça Grants It
Pedri is aware that the Catalan club needs to find a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who is already 36 years old. However, before spending large sums of money in the summer market, Deco and Hansi Flick have decided to prioritize another option. Specifically, the Barça board's idea will allow the team to save a good amount of money to strengthen other positions.
In this regard, Ferran Torres, Pedri's best friend in the Barça locker room, will renew with FC Barcelona in the coming weeks. The Valencian forward will extend his contract until 2029, which means he will continue to be part of the Barça project for several more years. It is not official yet, but it will be soon.
This news has been received with great joy by Pedri, who keeps an excellent relationship with Ferran Torres. They share a solid friendship and understand each other perfectly on the field, which further strengthens their connection. Additionally, the '8' has also recently renewed his contract, so they will continue together, at least, until 2029.
Ferran Torres Earns the Renewal
Ferran Torres is having an extraordinary season. The forward already has 19 goals and 4 assists, an impressive performance that has been key for Barça in various competitions. His ability to find space, his quality in finishing, and his versatility have made him the perfect replacement for Lewandowski.
Pedri, meanwhile, is delighted with the news of his friend's renewal. The relationship between them on and off the field is excellent, and their bond translates into a football connection that benefits the team. Ferran Torres's renewal, combined with the great level both players are showing, guarantees that Barça will have a bright future.
