Pedri: 'I won't leave Barcelona for anyone'

Pedri, a 23-year-old midfielder, stated that his future remains with Barcelona. After a major season as an undisputed starter, he emphasized that playing for Barça is the best option and the dream he had as a child. He described deep family ties to the club, including a grandfather who founded a Barça supporters’ club and a father who continued the tradition. He said his family supports him from the same local place where he watched games as a youngster. He also explained that his nickname “Pedri” came from being the smaller boy with the same name in his class. His early life centered on football, with daily routines focused on playing whenever possible.

"“Playing for Barça is the best there is. It's what I dreamed of as a child, and I'm not going to change it now for anything,” he said."

"“I wish he was still alive, and living everything that his grandson is living,” Pedri says of his grandfather, now deceased. “My father always tells me that if he had seen me play for Barça, he would've lived with me, he would go to every game, and he would be the #1 fan. He would've loved it. It seems like a movie that just as my grandfather founded the peña, my father continued it, and now they support me from where I watched games as a youngster. It's a dream come true.”"

"“Even his famous moniker stems from those early days back in Tegueste. When he first started playing, there was another boy named Pedro in his class, and the coaches needed a way to tell them apart. Because he was the smaller, skinnier one, everyone started calling him 'Pedri.' The name stuck, and now it's world famous.”"
