Although FC Barcelona midfield star Pedri has faced challenges with his physical fitness in recent years, this season he has emerged as one of the most physically reliable midfielders under Hansi Flick.

At the start of the season, when the German tactician had to cope with the absence of key midfielders like Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Fermin Lopez, and Dani Olmo, Pedri remained available throughout this crucial phase. Not only has he been consistently present, but he has also delivered performances of a very high standard.

In addition to his impressive form for Barcelona, Pedri has been equally impactful for the Spanish national team, where he is a pivotal player for Luis de la Fuente.

His importance to the national setup was evident when he addressed the press ahead of Spain’s upcoming game against Switzerland, set to take place in his hometown of Tenerife.

As Mundo Deportivo has reported, in addition to addressing questions about this special match and the form that his Spanish national team has been showing, the midfielder also addressed a question about his future at FC Barcelona.

Without revealing too much about how his renewal negotiations are going, he still made it clear that everything is going fine: “I don’t have any updates; it’s something my agents are handling. Everything’s fine.”

Reportedly, Pedri’s renewal is one of the priority operations being handled by Deco at this moment. Unlike other negotiations, like those for Ronald Araujo and Frenkie de Jong, Pedri’s renewal negotiations have been going rather smoothly, and hopefully, an agreement between the two parties will be reached soon.

With such a potential renewal, Pedri will go on to extend his commitment to the Blaugrana club, and Barcelona are working on this operation with particular attention as they want Pedri to remain an essential part of their future project.
