Pedri signs new contract with Barcelona | OneFootball

Pedri has signed a new contract with Barcelona.

The deal will run to 2026.

The 18-year-old midfielder, who has already amassed over 50 appearances for the Catalans since making his first-team debut last season, was linked with a move away from the club as his current contract expires at the end of this season.

Barca announced on Thursday that Pedri has committed his future to the Nou Camp side, signing a new long-term deal.

The new deal will not only give the Spanish midfielder a wage rise but Marca reports that it includes a huge release clause of £846million, designed to scare off European giants such as Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain - two of the richest clubs in the world.

The teenager signed Barcelona from Las Palmas for just £4.2m in September 2019 and remained at the second division side for the 2019-20 season.
