Confirmed, Deco Backtracks, Stays at Barça, Pedri Celebrates: 'He Has G...'

Pedri celebrates that his great friend, who was ruled out, will finally stay at Barça

Barça hasn't lost in all of 2025, and besides winning the Spanish Super Cup, it remains alive in all competitions. One of the people responsible for these eleven consecutive victories is Pedri: the Canary Islander has become an essential piece in Flick's scheme. Pedri is once again the Pedri who captivated the world in his first season as a culé and is now clearly the best on the team.

In Barça's last match against Sevilla, the Canary Islander caused five of the nine chances created, his best record since becoming a professional. That's why Pedri has just renewed his contract until 2030: he feels happy and wants to continue. The renewal of the '8' was one of Deco's objectives, which translates into a firm commitment to an ambitious project where young players are the visible face.

But beyond Pedri's renewal, Deco continues his work to strengthen the squad for next season. In this regard, before signing new players, the sporting director has ensured the continuity of Ferran Torres. The Valencian forward is having a very good season, and his records prove it: he already has 10 goals.

Ferran Torres Stays at Barça

With a contract until June 2027, Ferran Torres is determined to succeed wearing the FC Barcelona jersey and doesn't give up on his ambition to become a starter. His name has been strongly linked to leaving the club in January, but Deco is convinced that Ferran can be important in this team. So much so that Deco has decided to reverse his plans to make room for the '7'.

Barça wants to become a champion team again and needs a large and competitive squad to fight for all the titles at stake. Ferran Torres has shown that he can be relied upon, and he has perfectly taken advantage of the opportunities given to him by the coach. Flick is satisfied with his performance and is showing it with his trust: Ferran has earned a place in the squad.

Pedri Delighted with Ferran Torres's Situation

Ferran Torres has always wanted to succeed at Barça, and even in the most difficult moments, the Valencian has never given up. He has continued to fight to earn the coach's trust and show that he can be counted on. Ferran Torres has played 25 matches so far this season: 938 minutes played and 10 goals.

Meanwhile, Pedri, his best friend in the locker room, celebrates the forward's good moment and his continuity is a reason for joy. Ferran Torres has stepped up with the Barça jersey, and with his good performances, he continues to demand more minutes. Flick knows it and is aware, the German coach celebrates having a reliable forward on the bench when the occasion requires it.
