Pedri, untouchable: Barça denies City's interest and refuses to sell him

In recent days, the alleged interest from Manchester City in signing Pedri González came to light. According to various English media, the 'skyblue' entity is preparing a €100 million offer to acquire the services of the Canary, whom they see as the ideal replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, whose stay at the Etihad Stadium is not guaranteed.

At FC Barcelona, however, there is calm regarding the continuity of the player from Tegueste in the team. According to reports from 'Marca', the offices at Spotify Camp Nou are not aware of the Mancunians' interest in the midfielder and, furthermore, they have no intention of transferring him, although they understand that the top clubs on the continent have their sights set on the player as he is the best in the world in his position.

Despite the fact that, for now, there has been no approach from City, the azulgrana entity has made it clear that Pedri is absolutely 'untouchable'. The '8' is one of the most important players in Hansi Flick's system and one of the leaders in the locker room. This season, the Canary has participated in 44 of the 45 matches played and is the conductor of a team that dreams of a treble, so his departure is not even under consideration for the club.

Pedri has no intention of leaving Barça

González, for his part, also does not plan to move from the City of Barcelona. The 22-year-old midfielder extended his contract a couple of months ago and is now linked to the Catalans, in principle, until June 2030, which is why he does not intend to listen to offers from other clubs.

The Tenerife native has always been a Barça fan, and his great dream is to succeed wearing the blue and garnet jersey. "I imagined this since I was little, and reality always surpasses dreams. I am very happy to renew and extend this dream. Signing is the most beautiful thing that has happened to me in a long time, and I am happy to be where I want to be the most,” he said a few weeks ago, which is why Barça is extremely calm about his future.

With this in mind, Pep Guardiola will have to focus on a new target to replace a De Bruyne who is likely to end up in the Saudi Pro League. Florian Wirtz appears as another favorite of the 'citizens', but the high figures involved in his operation and Bayern Munich's insistence on signing him complicate their options. The 'skyblues' have a problem on their hands.
