Premier League giants Arsenal and Manchester City are both interested in signing Barcelona and Spain star Pedri.

Spanish publication Fichajes has reported that Barcelona are seriously considering whether to sell Pedri this summer or not due to concerns that his constant physical issues would make him prone to injuries for the rest of his career.

After making his first team debut in 2020, the 21-year-old is regarded as one of the best midfielders in Europe and has already made a name for himself playing for the Catalan giants.

In 120 appearances for La Liga club, Pedri has scored 17 goals but his injury issues have stopped him from performing even better and playing more games.

The midfielder has missed 13 games through injury this season. He missed 15 games last season and 41 games in the season before that. Barcelona see this as a trend with Pedri being unable to avoid injuries every season.

Barcelona have a decision to make because Pedri’s contract expires in 2026, and they may think about selling him to get out of their poor financial situation.

Both Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola would love to have a player of Pedri’s quality and talent.

Fulham’s Joao Palhinha and Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi are other midfielders being seriously considered by Arsenal.

Meanwhile Pedri could be the long term replacement of Kevin de Bruyne at Man City who is 32-years old now and the Premier League champions could soon be working on a deal to replace him.

Whichever team he joins, Pedri would be a fine addition to any Premier League side and would bring creativity and amazing passing ability to his future club.

  1. Talking too much does not help put your talking in action if we need a striker we go for him for me the striker I will like us to go for is Victor Boniface because he is better than all the strikers mentioned in the next two years he will be a household name in the world he is physically fit he has pace, height, dribbling skill and shooting ability he is a complete striker someone Karl Heinz Rummnegar acknowledged is not a joke the best economy is to go for quality once and for all

  2. For consistency and value for money we should buy victor Boniface or Gimenez who has been a 20 goal plus consistent score for over two years and not just a one year wonder. In his third year this year he is already on target to make it three years in a row with 16 goals from 18 games. He scores for fun and also scores in Europe and considered world class. victor B would cost £40 to £50 million after add-ons and Gimenez would cost £50 to £60 million pre add-ons, which is better than £100 million for the over priced 27 year old Toney, who’s third of his goals comes from penalties. Also regarding Pedri, we should avoid buying injury CROCS at all costs. Depending on who we sell, we need a quality 20 goal TargetMan, a Quality Tireless energetic two footed fullback and another Declan Rice substitute also a Right Winger unless Jesus or Nelson can step up in that position to rest Saka. All depends on money available and the amount of players we sell, but a TargetMan is number one priority.

  3. two pathetic clubs, why would pedri leave a huge club like barca for small clubs like city and arsenal?
