Pedri points to an ideal signing for Barça: He's better than Rashford

Pedri's injury opens the debate at Barça while a young national talent gains strength in the future plans

Pedri's injury is not only a physical setback for the player, but also a significant blow for FC Barcelona. Every time the Canary Islander is absent, the team loses calm, clarity, and a reading of the game that few footballers can offer. His impact goes beyond statistics: he organizes, connects, and gives meaning to the game.

In this scenario, Hansi Flick is forced to look to the youngsters to cover his absence. The academy and emerging profiles once again become protagonists, in a bet that excites, but that also shows the need to reinforce certain positions with proven talent.

A silent leader on and off the field

Pedri is not only important when he plays; even when he is injured, his voice carries weight in the locker room. His vision of soccer and his knowledge of the domestic market turn him into a respected figure at Can Barça. He doesn't speak much, but when he does, he leaves clear and carefully measured messages.

From a distance, the Canary Islander keeps analyzing the team and detecting shortcomings. He knows that Barça need imbalance in attack and profiles capable of interpreting the game intelligently. That is where a name appears that he knows well and that fits the blaugrana philosophy.

Yeremay Hernández, the name that excites

Pedri, as a good Canary Islander, knows firsthand about Yeremay Hernández's talent. The young winger is one of the great promises of Spanish soccer and openly dreams of wearing Barça's jersey. It is not a hidden wish, but a clear ambition that he has already expressed on several occasions.

In the club's offices, they like his profile a lot. Yeremay is not only a direct winger: he knows how to move between the lines, combine naturally, and understand spaces. His style fits the blaugrana game idea and, in addition, his signing would be around €30 million, a manageable figure for a talent with so much room to grow.

Direct competition that opens the debate

Yeremay's arrival would not be just another reinforcement. His signing would place him in direct competition with Marcus Rashford, a more experienced player but with a different profile. While Rashford provides power and depth, Yeremay offers reading, combination play, and short-distance imbalance.

Pedri is certain: Barça need footballers who think quickly and play as a team, and Yeremay fits perfectly. With Pedri off the field, his recommendation resonates strongly. Now, the ball is in Barça's court.
