Barcelona could end up paying a hefty amount for Pedri

Barcelona could end up paying €23 million for 18-year old Pedri.

18-year old Pedri has become an influential figure in his debut season with the Catalan giants.

The young midfielder has made 41 appearances already this season scoring three goals and creating six assists.

He was recently given his first international senior call-up after representing Spain at youth levels.

Las Palmas president Miguel Angel Ramirez claims they could collect as much as €23 million from Barcelona if Pedri manages to fulfill all the clauses included in the deal.

Pedri was signed by Barca last season and was then sent back on loan to Las Palmas for the entire 2019-20 campaign.

“From the day we’ve made the sale of Pedri until today, we’ve collected about €11m (£9m/$13m),” Ramirez told Cadena SER.

“Once all the clauses are met, it could reach up to €22m-€23m. We also get 15 per cent of a future sale.

“Barca is the club that counted on Pedri the most. There was another club from Spain that had offered more money, but we kept our word.

“He has gone to the perfect club and is now playing with the best player in the world.”
