Real Madrid president Florentino Perez aims to secure Barcelona midfielder Pedri, according to Spanish journalist Roberto Gomez. At just 23, Pedri stands out as one of the world's elite midfielders. He has made 235 appearances for Barcelona, netting 28 goals and providing 31 assists, while winning LaLiga and the Copa del Rey twice each. Pedri also played a crucial role in Spain's Euro 2024 triumph. Real Madrid actively seeks a new midfielder, eyeing targets like Manchester City's Rodri and Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez. Gomez reveals Perez dreams of a summer 2026 deal for Pedri, despite the challenges. Historically, Barcelona players have crossed to Madrid, with Luis Figo's infamous 2000 transfer being the most notable. However, Gomez notes the difficulties in making this move a reality, stating, “What you like is one thing, what you can do is another.” Pedri’s loyalty to Barcelona complicates any potential switch.
