Pedri, one billion termination clause: a historic record for the 18-year-old from Barcelona
Pedro González López, better known as Pedri, it is strong, very strong indeed.
At just 18 years old (he will turn 19 on 25 November) he is certainly the most interesting young man in international football, to the point that the Barcelona intends to make the new one Lionel Messi.
So far, no surprises. What really makes your eyes pop is the release clause inserted by the Catalan club in the new contract of the young talent: it will take a lot one billion euros to snatch Pedri from Barça before 2026, deadline set in the agreement!
And who could ever spend all this money on just one player? Probably not even adding the immense availability of the new owners of the Newcastle with those already well known of the groups they control PSG And Manchester City one might think of such a shot!
Not only. It is even more striking that it is a company like the to go “all-in” on the young phenomenon Barcelona who, given his very difficult economic situation, perhaps he wanted to go back to the times in which he set transfer market records, but to take the strongest players, not for impede their departure!
Already included in the 30 finalists of the Ballon d’Or, Pedri is already indispensable for Barcelona: last season he played as many as 73 games! And, with this unattainable termination clause, it will be so for a long time to come.
