Barca sporting director Deco believes Pedri will renew his contract with the club to win more titles and create a legacy at the Camp Nou.
Barca sporting director Deco is optimistic that Pedri will sign a new long-term contract with the Blaugrana soon, offering further insight into the club's ongoing efforts to tie down their star midfielder to a new lease , in addition to those of Ronald Araujo and Gavi.
Pedri has found a new lease of life this season, thanks to his good fortune in fitness. The 21-year-old Spaniard endured a frustrating 2023-24 campaign, missing a total of 128 days and 25 matches for club and country. Under new manager Hansi Flick, however, not only has Pedri shaken off his poor injury record, but he has also become one of the first names on the team sheet. With his contract expiring in 2026, the Catalans absolutely do not want to waste any time in securing the future of their midfield metronome at the club.
“To extend, you first have to know what the players are looking for, and I think they are looking to win titles, to be part of a competitive team and, of course, to have good contracts “, said Deco in an interview with Mundo Deportivo.
Pedri won't move
“I thought that way and I think we have players who think that way too. I think Pedri's extension will happen because I think Pedri wants to write the history of the club, he feels comfortable here, he is happy, he wants to win titles, he is back at his best level after working hard, understanding that there was work behind him that he had to do after so many years of suffering with many matches and injuries.
“He understood it and saw that he had to work in a different way, improve, and he was on time. We are going to do the extension, he has this season and another one left. We are focused on winning important things this season, but also on securing the future of important players and Pedri is one of them. “.
