Barcelona‘s future depends on its youngsters. That’s why it’s trying to negotiate new contracts with its future stars, such as Ansu Fati and Gavi. The first of the younsters to sign wasPedri, whowill remain part of the team until 2026 with a clause never seen before at Camp Nou. However, the Spain international will not be part of El Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid.
The Union Deportiva Las Palmas youth player had a clause to renew his contract with the club for one more season, although Barcelona wanted to recognize the effort of a player who, at 18 years of age, is asking to be the team’s star in the future. Last week, the young midfielder renewed his contract with the club until 2026 with a shocking €1 billion clause.
Coach Ronald Koeman wanted to field him in the starting lineup for El Clasico against Real Madrid, which will be broadcast in the US on ESPN+. But the young midfielder was not available.
Pedri will miss El Clasico vs Real Madrid
Pedri suffered an injury in the quadriceps of the left thigh, the same he suffered last September 15. This time he could be out for more than a month, missing the Spanish derby against RealMadrid.
