Pedri told @AP: “I've always loved Iniesta and his way of playing football, the way he plays both on and off the field. He was my reference and I've tried to imitate him. I think I’ve seen all of Iniesta’s videos on YouTube and I had never missed a game of his” #FCB 🇪🇸⭐️
Pedri, on his combinations with Messi: “Maybe that's something I learned from Andres, but the truth is they're things that happen on the field. If you suddenly listen to Leo, you know you can give him the ball because he'll create danger & end up marking as usual” @AP#FCB 🇦🇷🤝🇪🇸
Pedri, on Koeman: “One day he put me aside & had told me that he didn't know much about me, that he had barely seen me play and I’d have to show him what I can do in training. I got motivation out of that. I knew I had to work as hard as anyone to win my place” @AP#FCB 🇪🇸
Pedri, on Messi’s future: “If he stays or leaves, I don't get involved in that. That's his decision and all we can do is to help him while he is here. We hope he’s here for many more years to come” #FCB 🇪🇸🤝🇦🇷

Joan Laporta: “I will do my best [if he wins] for Messi to continue at Barça. I have indications that he is doing well in Barcelona and that he wants to stay. You need to rely on a sporting project to win the Champions League” #FCB
Joan Laporta, in regards with Messi’s renewal: “The next President of Barça must make every effort” #FCB
Sergiño Dest is still not 100%, wasn’t involved w/ the group yesterday. He is carrying some discomfort in his thigh. That’s why he is out for this one. #FCB 🇺🇸🛑
“When I communicated my wish to leave to my wife and children, it was a brutal drama. The whole family began crying, my children did not want to leave Barcelona, nor did they want to change schools.”

“But I looked further afield and I want to compete at the highest level, win titles, compete in the Champions League. You can win or lose in it, because it is very difficult, but you have to compete” #FCB
“At least compete for it and let us not fall apart in Rome, Liverpool, Lisbon. All that led me to think about that decision that I wanted to carry out” #FCB
In the last few days, nothing significant has happened. Messi decided to not appear for the PCR tests. Furthermore, he didn’t train with the team today....⤵️
📌 Messi still wants to leave the club, which is why he had taken the decision mentioned above. His father and Bartomeu are expected to have a meeting this week per multiple reports. Jorge Messi will request for a friendly exit from the club.
📌 It will be an important meeting. It will definitely be interesting too, because Bartomeu doesn’t want to let Messi leave this summer. But Jorge Messi, on the other hand, will try to facilitate a departure of his son from the club.
(🌕) Manchester City are weighing up offering Messi a long-term contract that would see him move to partner club like New York City after 3 years in the Premier League, various sources confirm. @samuelmarsden#FCB 🚨🚨🇦🇷
They could also offer Messi the chance to become an ambassador for the City Football Group, the holding company that owns a number of clubs across the world, including City and NYC FC. @samuelmarsden#FCB 🚨🇦🇷
City have emerged as the favourites to sign Messi after he shocked Barcelona by telling them he wants to leave on Tuesday. @samuelmarsden#FCB 🔵🇦🇷
Semedo is the player who has the most options to be part of an exchange operation, as he is one of the few assets of the first team that could give Barcelona a good return to the sales revenue section. @moillorens#Transfers 🚨🇵🇹

In addition, sources close to the player admitted that the footballer intends to change clubs. In this sense, both Manchester City and Inter have also valued the side, which slowed down its renewal with Barcelona. ✍🏻⛔️🚨
Manchester City might want to trade him for Joao Cancelo in a three-way operation in which Lautaro Martínez would end up in Barcelona. 🇦🇷🔄🇵🇹
