The FC Barcelona paid five million euros by the Canarian to the UD The Palms, left it yielded in the team of Pepe Mel and the initial plan was to look for him a team of First Division in which it could 'foguearse' playing to the maximum level. However, the arrival of the coronavirus caused an important economic crisis that limited the capacity of fichar of the Barcelona club, by what the jovencísimo mediapunta turned into part of the big change that carried out in the staff culé.

What more happened the time, more understood that we were in front of a humble boy, intelligent, that never made a mistake, in any position or situation", commented.

The ex sportive director of the UD The Palms also commented that Pedri turned into a player of such status in the team, that his mates gave him the balloon in key moments. "It put of his part and was not difficult to integrate it in the team. Still it does not have personality to be a leader, is of November of 2002, but all the world recognised it in the field. In the moments of difficulty the mates looked for him", signalled.

His sale to the FC Barcelona

Finally, Rocco Maiorino explained how gestó the sale of the young crack to the FC Barcelona. "If The Palms had not had economic difficulties, was not a sale to do immediately. I listened to Ramón Plans and thought that it would be ideal for the FC Barcelona. In a friendly against the Betis in the previous pre-season, came Bakero to see it and negotiate the traspaso in August. We sold it by 5 millions, with bonus could arrive to 30, with a percentage for The Palms in the case of a future sale", manifested.
