Pedri wants to learn from Lionel Messi and expressed his desire to have him as a teammate at Barcelona next season.
The future of the Blaugrana captain is still unclear and nothing is ruled out until he meets with his new coach, Ronald Koeman.
"I am a footballer who likes to have the ball," Pedri said in his presentation as a new Barcelona player.
"My idol is [Andres] Iniesta and now I want to learn from the best [Messi] and I want him to stay.
"[Signing for Barcelona] is a dream I've had since I was little.
"I didn't think this was going to happen.
"I want to have fun and improve with the best in the world.
"Signing for a club like this is something that doesn't happen every day.
"It fills you with the desire to do things."
It's still unclear whether Pedri will remain at Barcelona, who may decide to loan him out to help him get more playing time.
"The first option is to stay here and have fun with the best, although a transfer is not an option that I've ruled out," Pedri added.
"You have to take [pressure] off from the first moment.
"You must have enthusiasm to enjoy each day and [hope] that everything goes well."

Who has watched this boy play for Las Palmas. At 17 this guy is the real deal plays in the middle and on the wings. I hope he is successful and not just rotting in bench to accommodate some Pjanic
