Till now, he has achieved several major accomplishments, such as winning the European Champions with Spain and crowning the Spanish champions with Barca. The central midfielder is a vital cog in Hansi Flick's team set-up and continues to rewrite history books with his world-class performances at both club and International level. With that being said, let's explore Pedri biography, family, early life, salary, net worth and Pedri career summary, etc.
So far, at just 22, Pedri is one of the best midfielders in the world, and he has racked up over 250 professional games under his belt. His consistency and talent have led to his rapid rise to prominence. The midfielder was born in Bajamar, Spain, as Pedro Gonzalez Lopez on November 25, 2002, and began his playing career with local club UD Tegueste. He initially started off as a centre-back but was eventually moved around and finally settled into the midfield role. Pedri height is 5-foot-8. He possesses good agility and is still not very short, so he can hold his own in the middle of the park.
In 2018, Pedri moved to Las Palmas’ youth academy following a spell with Juventud Laguna. A year later, the then-16-year-old midfielder signed a full contract for a four-year deal. He made his debut for the club in August 2019 in a narrow 1-0 loss at home against Huesca in the Segunda Division. A month after his debut, Pedri grabbed his first goal for Las Palmas, and in doing so, became their youngest-ever scorer aged 16 years, nine months and 23 days. In the 2019-20 season, he made a total of 37 appearances for Las Palmas across competitions and even chipped in with four goals and seven assists. Subsequently, the Blaugrana came calling for the signature of a promising midfielder from the Gran Canaria island.
