Bayern will fight for Pedri!

Bayern Munich have chosen a new transfer goal. It is Pedri from Barcelona.

18-year-old midfielder of Catalan Barcelona Pedri is on the radar of Bayern Munich. The German giants want to get the midfielder and are ready to offer him a salary four times more than he currently receives in the Catalan capital.

Moreover, the reigning German champions are not going to save on transfers. The Recordmeister are poised to break the transfer record, which now stands at € 80 million paid for Luca Hernandez from Atlético Madrid in 2019. At the same time, Bayern may not wait until next summer and are going to sign the Spaniard in the winter.

Seemingly bad news for Barcelona and Xavi fans. The 18-year-old who impressed everyone with his number of matches played during the season and his stability was clearly the one to bet on. In addition, when asked for the opportunity to sign Donnie van de Beek, Xavi replied that they have enough midfielders, implying Pedri.

But after a busy last season, Pedri has been treating his knee since October 1st. That is, there is a risk for Xavi that the guy cannot be counted on for at least a few more months, given his adaptation and recovery. And Barça need money for transfers here and now. Therefore, it seems to us that the sale of Pedri to Bayern does not look as stalemate as it might seem to the fans and the club.

The Catalans can get more than 80 million euros for him, which in the current reality will be heavenly manna for them. By selling all the illiquid assets, they will have a decent budget for those reinforcements that Xavi wanted when he came. In addition, they will not strengthen their competitors in the league, and the Catalans cannot compete against Bayern in the Champions League yet. This was eloquently shown by their head-to-head duel in the group stage of the Champions League.

With his departure, Pedri can help his home club overcome a difficult period and then return in the role of the messiah already, if he wants to. Barcelona should take advantage of the situation and the opportunities that open up before him, no matter how much they want to build a team of products. This will be one step back for two steps forward.
