Barcelona midfielder Pedri has renewed his contract, ensuring his stay with the club until 2030. This extension solidifies his importance to the team, particularly after overcoming injury issues this season. Coach Hansi Flick praised a new strategy in managing Pedri’s playing time, allowing him to play more minutes for better fitness and performance. Having started his career at Barcelona as a teenager, Pedri is approaching 200 appearances and continues to be a critical player for both his club and the Spanish national team, with whom he won the European Championship last summer.
"For that reason we don't manage his minutes from the start of the games. Maybe just at the end of games."
"We change a little bit the philosophy with Pedri this season. We keep him playing because it's better for our fitness, our idea, our philosophy about fitness, it's better like this with him."
