Barcelona Announces Contract Renewal For Pedri

Barcelona midfielder, Pedri González, has signed a new contract, committing his future to the Catalan club until 2030.

Barça had made extending Pedri’s terms a priority for 2025 with his previous deal due to expire in the summer of 2026.

The 22-year-old has overcome his injury woes this season and solidified his position as a key player in Hansi Flick’s squad.

Flick explained recently that a change to the club’s approach to managing Pedri’s playing time had proven beneficial.

“We change a little bit the philosophy with Pedri this season,” the German coach said in a news conference.

“We keep him playing because it’s better for our fitness, our idea, our philosophy about fitness, it’s better like this with him.

“For that reason, we don’t manage his minutes from the start of the games. Maybe just at the end of games.”

Pedri joined Barcelona from Las Palmas as a teenager and made 52 appearances in his debut season at the club. That same summer, he participated in both the European Championship and the Olympic Games with Spain.

Injuries then reduced his action throughout the following three seasons, but he has remained injury-free and played a key role under Flick this season.

He is approaching 200 appearances for the club and has been capped 30 times by Spain, contributing to their victory in the European Championships last summer.
