Press reports indicate that Manchester City is targeting Barcelona’s key player in the 2025 summer transfer window, a move that could shake up the market.
The English club has already begun planning for the summer window to reinforce its squad for next season, aiming to bounce back from this year’s setbacks.
Manchester City has struggled this season, experiencing a dip in form and results that have hurt its title aspirations. With their Champions League hopes dashed, the Citizens are now solely focused on the FA Cup, while their Premier League standing has also suffered.
According to the Spanish newspaper Marca, various English media outlets report that City is preparing a €100 million bid for Pedri, viewing him as the ideal successor to Kevin De Bruyne.
However, Barcelona has dismissed any official contact from the English club, though they acknowledge the widespread interest in Pedri from top European teams due to his exceptional talent and consistent performances for both Barça and Spain.
Despite the speculation, Pedri has shown no intention of leaving. Just two months ago, he extended his contract until June 2030, reaffirming his commitment to the Blaugrana and his lifelong dream of playing for Barcelona.
