This was reported by several Spanish journalists. In this way, Perez would like to repeat the situation of 2000, when Luis Figo made a similar move from Barcelona to Real Madrid. The Madrid boss is interested in luring one of the leaders from their eternal rivals, thereby inflicting reputational damage on Barcelona. It is worth noting that the contract of 23-year-old Pedri with the Catalan club runs until 2030, and the buyout clause is set at a staggering one billion euros.
