Madrid. FC Barcelona midfielder Pedri had good news for the club on the day coach Xavi Hernandez admitted winger Ousmane Dembele had said he wanted to join Paris Saint-Germain.

Pedri, a 20-year-old Spain international, has also been the subject of transfer speculation, partly due to Barca’s poor financial situation. However, he was clear about his future when asked if he would consider leaving after a 1-0 win over AC Milan in Las Vegas, reports Xinhua.

“I keep track of proposals that come to me, but they are received by my representatives.” He admitted before saying, “There are many things I would have to do in order to leave this club. It would be very bad and very unpleasant.”

He told the Catalan newspaper, La Vanguardia, “I think it is very unlikely (that I would like to leave), Barca is the club of my dreams and I want to stay at the club for many more years.”

The departures of players such as Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba mean Pedri will have more responsibility in midfield this season, but he was pleased to see the arrival of Oriol Romeu from Girona and the signing of Ilkay Gundogan on a free transfer from Manchester City.

He said, “It is incredible to see Gundogan training. I already saw Oriol in Girona and he seems to me a very suitable footballer to replace Busquets.”

“It’s important to have competition for places in midfield because, at the end of the day, that’s where our football goes through,” Pedri commented.(IANS)
