Pedro González López (born 25 November 2002), known as Pedri, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Barcelona and the Spain national team.

Club career

Las Palmas

Born in Tegueste, Tenerife, Canary Islands,[3] Pedri joined Las Palmas's youth setup in 2018 from CF Juventud Laguna.[4][5] On 15 July 2019, aged only 16, he signed a professional four-year contract with the club, being promoted to the first team by manager Pepe Mel.[6]

Pedri made his professional debut on 18 August 2019, aged only 16, by starting in a 0–1 home loss against Huesca in the Segunda División.[7] He scored his first professional goal on 19 September, netting the game's only one in a home victory over Sporting Gijón and became the youngest goalscorer in Las Palmas history at 16 years, 9 months and 23 days of age.[8][9]

Barcelona

On 2 September 2019, Barcelona reached an agreement with Las Palmas for the transfer of Pedri, effective as of the following 1 July 2020. The player agreed to a five-year contract with the Catalan club, who paid €5 million for the deal which would later increase as he fulfilled various clauses in his contract.[10]

Assigned to the main squad for the 2020–21 season and with the number 16 jersey,[11] Pedri made his Barça – and La Liga – debut on 27 September, replacing Philippe Coutinho in a 4–0 home routing of Villarreal.[12] He was handed his first start on 17 October, in a 0–1 away loss against Getafe.[13] On 20 October 2020, Pedri scored his first goal for the club on his UEFA Champions League debut, in a 5–1 win over Ferencváros in the Champions League group stage, after coming on as a substitute in the 61st minute for Ansu Fati.[14] On 7 November, in a 5–2 home win over Real Betis, he scored his first goal in La Liga after an assist from Sergi Roberto.[15]

On 6 January 2021, he scored a headed goal against Athletic Bilbao and assisted Barça's second goal in a 3–2 win at San Mamés.[16] On 17 April, Pedri won his first ever trophy in his senior career – and with Barca – after his side thrashed Athletic Bilbao 4–0 in the Copa del Rey final.[17] On 8 May, at 18 years and 164 days, Pedri made his 50th appearance for Barcelona in all competitions when he started in the 0–0 draw against Atlético Madrid at Camp Nou, thus becoming the second youngest player to reach this milestone after Bojan Krkić, who was 18 years and 3 days at the time he reached 50 appearances.[18]

International career

In March 2021, Pedri received his first call up to the Spain senior team from coach Luis Enrique, ahead of the group stage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification.[19] He made his debut on 25 March 2021 against Greece.[20] On 24 May 2021, he was included in Enrique's 24-man squad for the UEFA Euro 2020.[21]

Style of play

Pedri plays in a free roam position, he likes to occupy central areas and even drops down to the defence to pick the ball up. He situates himself on the left, right, or as a number 8. Many fans refer to him as a winger, but just like Andrés Iniesta, this gives a wrong impression of where he actually plays.[22]
