<p>However, besides bringing home another trophy, Messi <strong>was part of the jury that voted for the 2021 Kopa Trophy winner</strong>, which eventually was former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Barcelona</strong></a> teammate <strong>Pedri</strong>.

<h2>Lionel Messi’s votes for 2021 Kopa Trophy</h2>
<p>As one of the 32 Ballon d’Or winners,Messiis part of the jury that votes for the Kopa Trophy which is <strong>given to the best U-21 player of the year</strong>. Argentine outlet <em>Infobae</em> has reported that the 34-year-oldhas <strong>selected Pedri in first place with three points</strong>.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, he chose <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/psg-roster-2021-2022-list-of-paris-saint-germain-players-this-season-20210809-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Paris Saint-Germain</strong> teammate</a> <strong>Nuno Mendes</strong> <strong>in second place with two votes</strong>, while his podium was completed by English sensation <strong>Jude Bellingham</strong> of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/borussia-dortmund-t147" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Borussia Dortmund</strong></a>, who <strong>collected one point</strong>.</p>

<p></p>
<p>Pedri looked like a no-brainer choice for thisaward after establishinghimself immediately in the Barcelona starting lineup before heearned an important spot in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/spain-t146274" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Spain</strong></a> national team. Messi witnessed his fast rise closely, so<strong> it shouldn’t be a surprise</strong>if he voted him first.</p>
<p>Before this report came out, Pedri hadshownrespect for Leo when he received the Kopa Trophy, <strong>thanking the former Barca captain for helping him during their time together at Camp Nou</strong>. With Messi’sblessing, <strong>the future looks even brighter for the 19-year-old</strong>.</p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Barcelona</strong></a> have been <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/remember-the-glory-days-reminiscing-on-life-at-fc-barcelona-pre-lionel-messi-20210915-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">missing glory days</a> for a while but it seems like they hit rock bottom this season. Taking a look at their squad should be enough to recognize the downgrade the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/la-liga-t48" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>La Liga</strong></a> giants have suffered.</p>
<p>Even though they hope that<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/xavi-hernandez-t16349" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Xavi Hernandez</strong></a> changes their fortunes fast, the truth is that it won’t be easy <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-giving-xavi-peanuts-for-the-winter-transfer-window-20211111-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">given the financial problems</a> the club is still battling with. However, Barca <strong>have reasons for optimism</strong> for the future.</p>
<p>Although their roster looks quite weakcompared to other years, Los Cules now have <strong>a number of promising, young players</strong> who are set to lead the club’s revival in the coming years. Therefore, it’s not a surprise that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/bayern-munich-t112" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bayern Munich</strong></a> are interested in one of Barcelona’s top prospects.</p>

<h2>Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in Barcelona wonderkid</h2>
<p>These are not easy times for Barca, <strong>but it would be even worse </strong>if they hadn’t the group of young players they have right now. With thisyouth talent in their squad, there’s belief at Camp Nou. But will they be able to secure them for long?</p>
<p>According to <em>As</em>, Bayern Munich are interested in <strong>Pedri</strong>. The 18-year-old midfielder is one of the world’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/5-top-prospects-to-watch-in-the-20212022-uefa-champions-league-20211103-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most fascinating players</a> at the moment, as he even won the <strong>2021 Golden Ball</strong> award. In Barca’s darkest hours, Pedri <strong>has been one of the few standouts</strong>.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Given his fantastic performances at such a young age, <strong>the club renewed his contract until 2026 including a mind-blowing, €1bn release clause</strong>. Needless to say, that price tag should keep him safe at Camp Nou for a long time as it’s almost unaffordable for any club.</p>
<p>But Bayern would be willing to make an expensiveoffer to Barca for the midfielder, improving the club-record€80m signing of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/lucas-hernandez-of-bayern-munich-given-deadline-to-enter-prison--20211019-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Lucas Hernandez</strong></a> two years ago. Neither Barcelona nor Pedri look interested in parting ways, therefore the massive release clause included in his contract. But such anoffer might make Barca reconsider their stance, given <strong>they’d also like to relievetheir <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/messi-leaves-barcelona-why-is-the-club-in-financial-crisis-20210805-0027.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">financial crisis</a></strong>.</p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Barcelona</strong></a>‘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 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/la-liga-t48" target="_blank" rel="noopener">El Clasico</a> between Barcelona and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/real-madrid-t23" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Real Madrid</strong></a>.</p>
<p>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 <strong>€1 billion clause</strong>.</p>
<p>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<a href="https://go.web.plus.espn.com/c/2743850/1161082/9070" rel="sponsored,nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong> ESPN+</strong></a>. But the young midfielder was not available.</p>
<h2>Pedri will miss El Clasico vs Real Madrid</h2>
<p>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 <strong>more than a month</strong>, missing the Spanish derby against RealMadrid.</p>
