FC Barcelona is considering the possibility of selling star midfielder Pedri this summer following his latest injury setback, as reported by AS. The young midfielder suffered a reoccurrence of a right thigh injury that has plagued him throughout the season, leading to concerns within the club about his long-term availability.
Despite being viewed as a key player for the future alongside other promising talents like Gavi and Lamine Yamal, Pedri's injury record and inconsistent availability have raised doubts among Barcelona officials. Since breaking into the first team in the 2020/2021 season, Pedri has struggled with injuries, missing a significant number of matches under both Ronald Koeman and his successor.
Barcelona's management is reportedly contemplating all possible scenarios to address Pedri's situation, including the option of selling him in the upcoming transfer window. The club acknowledges the need to find a definitive solution to ensure the team's stability and success in the long run.
President Joan Laporta may face a difficult decision regarding Pedri's future, especially considering Barcelona's financial challenges that require significant player sales to improve the club's financial health. While selling Pedri is not a preferred outcome for the club or its fans, it remains a possibility that cannot be ruled out at this stage.
Pedri, on his part, remains optimistic about his recovery and future prospects, expressing gratitude for the support he has received from fans and teammates. Despite the setbacks, he is determined to return stronger and contribute to Barcelona's success in the seasons to come.
