PSG's new head coach asks club to buy young Barcelona star
"Paris Saint-Germain" has shown interest in Barcelona and Spain midfielder Pedri, according to СОРЕ.
According to the source, the French club wants to acquire the player in the upcoming summer transfer window. The new head coach of PSG, Luis Enrique, personally insists on the signing.

With the club, Pedri won the La Liga title in the 2022/2023 season, the Copa del Rey in the 2020/2021 season, and the Spanish Super Cup in the 2022/2023 season.
Since 2021, Pedri has been representing the Spain national team, where he has played 18 matches, not scoring any goals but providing one assist. Pedri was named the best young player of the UEFA Euro 2020 tournament.
