According to a source, if Barcelona star Pedri accepts to join the Saudi Pro League, Saudi Arabia has promised to appoint him as an ambassador for the FIFA 2034 World Cup. According to the source, Spanish player Pedri, who has verbally committed to staying in Barcelona until at least 2030, is expected to receive an offer that surpasses his expectations if he agrees to move to the desert nation.
FIFA recently announced that the 2034 FIFA World Cup will be held in Saudi Arabia. The 22-year-old midfielder’s desire to further extend his stay at Camp Nou may cause some obstacles before Saudi’s intricate plans are finalized, even though Pedri’s current Barcelona deal expires in 2026. In that case, the transfer would probably not be possible unless Saudi authorities fulfilled Pedri’s massive €1 billion release clause.
According to the article, Saudi is anticipated to persist until Pedri signs a new agreement with the Catalan powerhouses.
When Barca faced Real in the Super Cup, Héctor Peris, the CEO of Pedri’s agency LEADERBROCk Sports Group, was in Saudi Arabia. According to a report by SPORT, the Saudi officials took advantage of the situation and informed Peris of their plans.
For a few months now, the wealthy Saudi clubs have had their eye on two young players, Vinicius Jr. and Pedri. Vinicius is not as upset by Kylian Mbappe’s arrival at Real Madrid as many had anticipated, and the Brazilian is aware that if he stays in Europe, he has a higher chance of winning the Ballon D’Or.
Saudi teams are reportedly prepared to spend up to 350 million euros on the Real Madrid winger.
