Liverpool midfielder Thiago has raved about reported Reds target Pedri in The Guardian.
Thiago, who joined Liverpool from Bayern Munich last summer, plays with Pedri for the Spain national football team.
The Liverpool star has said that the Barcelona central midfielder is very talented and has outlined his footballing style.
What’s been said?
Thiago told The Guardian: “Pedri’s an example of that old talent. Everything is natural. He sees football the same way he has since he was very little.”
Liverpool rumour
Liverpool reportedly want to sign Pedri form Barcelona in the summer transfer window.
The Mirror reported in April that the Reds have made contact with the agents of the Spain international.
Barcelona want to extend the contract of the teenager, who has a release clause of £70 million.
Pedri is playing for Spain at the ongoing Euro 2020.
Could a transfer happen?
Barcelona are unlikely to sell Pedri, especially if he has a wonderful European Championship.
The Spaniard is only 18, and Barca will know that he will get better in the coming years.
Barcelona do have financial problems, but the Spanish giants are not a selling club.
Moreover, new club president Joan Laporta will not want to annoy fans by selling one of the best young talents.
Pedri made 28 starts and nine substitute appearances in La Liga last season.
The midfielder scored three goals and gave three assists in those games.
The Spaniard also made six starts and one substitute appearance in the Champions League.
The youngster, who played out wide as well as in attacking midfield in 2020-21, scored one goal and gave one assist in those matches.
