Real Madrid president dreams of ‘bombshell’ 2027 move for Barcelona superstar – report | OneFootball

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is targeting Barcelona superstar Pedri as a future signing, according to Spanish outlet ElDesmarque.

The report, attributed to journalist Siro Lopez, claims Perez views the Barcelona midfielder as a potential marquee addition for the 2027/28 season, and is considering a ‘bombshell’ move for him next year.

It must be remembered that Perez orchestrated the move of Luis Figo from Barcelona to Real Madrid in 2000. That transfer remains one of the most explosive episodes in Spanish football history.

Now, he has aspirations of repeating the trick with Pedri.

From Real Madrid’s perspective, signing a key Barcelona player would not only strengthen their own squad but also strike a symbolic blow at their biggest domestic rival.

As per the report, the Real Madrid president sees the Barcelona midfield maestro as a ‘dream’ signing, despite a deal for him being ‘practically impossible’.

After all, Pedri has a contract at Barça until 2030 and is shielded by a mammoth €1 billion release clause.

Moreover, the midfielder is very happy and settled at the club and sees himself donning the iconic Blaugrana colours for many years to come.

So, it would be safe to say that any deal involving Pedri, Barcelona, and Real Madrid appears anything but realistic despite Perez’s alleged admiration for the midfield superstar.
