FCB, rumor: Bayern apparently made a secret offer for Pedri
Just last summer, Spain’s top talent Pedri extended his contract with FC Barcelona until 2026. Along with many other top European clubs, FC Bayern is said to have been interested in signing the 19-year-old at the time.
As Sport1 Now reported, the German record champions are said to have even attempted poaching without informing FC Barcelona. “It’s true that Bayern have been in exchanges with Barca players without informing Barca about it. I wouldn’t say that the relationship between the clubs is very bad, but it’s certainly not what it used to be,” says one of Barca -Leadership related person quoted.
According to this, the Bayern squad planners Hasan Salihamidzic and Marco Neppe are said to have made extensive efforts in late summer for the Golden Boy winner. The plan: to free Pedri from Barcelona for the 22/23 season. Even an official refusal by the Catalans should not have stopped Bayern from sticking with the personnel.
This significantly damaged the relationship between the two management floors. Sport1According to information, Barca President Joan Laporta and those around him have recently been increasingly irritated by the behavior of the Bayern bosses.
