Barcelona meets Pedri’s agents to discuss La Liga right-back
Barcelona Discuss Contract Renewal and Potential Signings
Barcelona’s Sporting Director Deco met with Pedri’s agents to finalize a crucial contract renewal for the talented player. However, the meeting also delved into discussions about other players, including promising German teenager Noah Darvich at Barca Atletic. The standout player of interest was Rayo Vallecano right-back Andrei Ratiu, who has been making waves in La Liga over the past year.
Ratiu, a 26-year-old Romanian international, has solidified his spot in the starting lineup at Vallecas, featuring in nearly all of their games this season. Although Villarreal still retains 50% of his rights, Ratiu has caught the attention of several teams, including Tottenham Hotspur, who have scouted him.
Interest from Barcelona
Barcelona is eyeing a right-back for the upcoming season, with Ratiu emerging as a top target. The club has also shown interest in Celta Vigo’s Oscar Mingueza, who left Barcelona two years ago. Known for his speed and defensive prowess, Ratiu has also showcased an improved attacking game this season, adding another dimension to his play down the right flank.
During the meeting, Pedri expressed his commitment to Barcelona, hinting at a potential long-term stay at the club. With ongoing negotiations and discussions, Barcelona is strategically planning for the future, aiming to secure key players like Pedri and potentially adding talents like Ratiu to their squad.
