Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in signing Barcelona sensation Pedri. The teenager has developed into one of the most promising young talents in world football since making his debut for the Spanish club last season.
According to El Nacional, Bayern Munich are eager to sign and develop youngsters in order to build a squad for the future. The German giants already possess a number of young talents including Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry, Jamal Musiala, Dayot Upamecano, Alphonso Davies, and Joshua Kimmich.
Julian Naglesmann is reportedly keen to sign an attacking midfielder who could become the long-term replacement for the aging Thomas Muller.
Pedri rose through the youth ranks at Barcelona's famous La Masia youth academy before making his debut for the club last season. The 18-year-old instantly became a regular member of the club's starting line-up thanks to his impressive performances in midfielder.
He made 52 appearances for Barcelona in all competitions last season and contributed four goals and six assists.He helped the club win the Copa Del Rey last year. The teenager's impressive performances for Barcelona earned him a place in Luis Enrique's Spain squad for Euro 2020.
Pedri was one of Spain's best players during the tournament. His performances earned him the Young Player of the Tournament award at the Euros and he was the only Spanish player to be included in the Team of the Tournament. Pedri was recently awarded the Golden Boy 2021 award.
The Spaniard's game-time for Barcelonas has been limited this season due to injury. Pedri has made just four appearances for Barcelona this season. The youngster is, however, considered as the future of the club.
Barcelona's dire financial situation could, however, force the club to sell some of their prized assets next summer. The club is facing debts totalling up to €1.35 billion. Barcelona were forced to part ways with Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann this summer to reduce their wage bill.
Reports have suggested Barcelona are open to the prospect of selling Pedri if they receive a bid in the region of €100 million for the midfielder.
Despite the club's current financial situation, new Barcelona manager Xavi will be desperate to keep hold of some of the club's young talents. Pedri Gavi, Ronald Araujo, Ansu Fati, and Frenkie de Jong are seen as the future of Barcelona.
Barcelona will look to build a squad for the future around the aforementioned players. Pedri and Gavi have firmly established themselves as two of the best young midfielders in Europe thanks to their performances for club and country in recent months.
Xavi will be keen to keep hold of the club's youngsters and sign an attacker and a box-to-box midfielder in January to boost his side's chances to resurrecting their season.
Bayern Munich could therefore be forced to look at alternative options in the transfer market. The German giants are also reportedly interested in Borussia Moenchengladbach star Florian Neuhaus.

A lot of people doesn't understand his game. Pedri' s role is a lot more technical than you imagine. His role is not to dribble role run at defenders, instead his role is to occupy the spaces in the midfield and constantly be available for passesand keep possession of the ball. He is the controller of the tempo like how xavi was used by pep. He is the linker to one-twos, and he connects de Jong and busquets to Depay, Fati and outrunning Alba. He makes things easier for de Jong and busquets to do their jobs because pedri takes pressure off them. He is sort of the puzzle piece of the formation. If you don't play him for example, you will lose an element of control and players will start rushing the play and losing the ball. At barca controlling the tempo of the game is the single most important aspect of the philosophy.pedri is playing a role that is fundamental to the fruition of the possession football.

Barcelona is a broke a$$ club right now. So doing business with Barcelona is meaningless for coming 2 years as they are gonna ask 60M even for players like Braithwaite. Right now they just wanna fill there pockets, as the club is desperate for money.

I can describe him as younger version of Müller who lacks the finishing and assist part alot (I believe he can improve in these part). Müller happens to be at the right place in front of goal, Pedri does something similar just not in front of goal. His movement with the ball is very good. He's also better at recovering ball than Puig (that why I think Koeman don't like playing Puig). If bayern gets him, he can be mad into another version of Müller (if he starts taking shots).

Number of goals and assists alone doesn't determine how good a player is. Watch Pedri, his level of concentration, ball control, back tracking, ball winning, and key passes is too good for his age. I've seen teen players like him but Pedri's impact in midfield is something else.
