"Barcelona have reached total agreement with Pedri to extend his contract until June 2026, here we go. New deal to be signed in the next hours/days.

"Final clauses agreed and fixed too. EXCL: new release clause for Pedri will be €1B (one billion). His current deal expires at the end of this season.''

In a great breakthrough campaign, Pedri made 37 League appearances for Barcelona last season even though the Catalans failed to win the La Liga title.
