Pedri Denies Spain Team Boycott Rumors
Barcelona star Pedri dismisses claims of a Spain team boycott over Dani Olmo's registration, focusing instead on the Spanish Super Cup final.
Pedri, the dynamic midfielder for FC Barcelona, has openly dismissed rumors suggesting he and his teammates intended to boycott the Spain national team. These allegations surfaced amid controversy surrounding the registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, which temporarily delayed their participation in official matches.
Speaking at a press conference ahead of the Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid, Pedri clarified: 'I have never said I would refuse to play for the national team because of Dani Olmo. This is a complete lie, and I hope no one believes such false claims.'
The 21-year-old midfielder also addressed the emotional toll the registration issues had on his teammates, particularly Olmo. 'Traveling to Saudi Arabia without certainty about playing is tough,' he said. 'I tried to support Dani because it's not easy to face such uncertainties. As for criticism from other clubs, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I see no need to comment further.'
Looking ahead to the highly anticipated clash against Real Madrid, Pedri shared his excitement: 'The entire team is motivated and eager for the final. Playing against Real Madrid in such a significant match is a dream for every Barcelona player. We’re ready to give our all to lift the trophy.'
When asked about his long-term future with Barcelona, Pedri provided reassuring words for fans. His current contract with the Catalan club runs until 2026, and he stated: 'From what my agents and the club have told me, everything regarding my contract is progressing well. Right now, my focus is solely on winning the final. Fans don’t need to worry about my commitment to Barcelona.'
Pedri’s words not only dismissed the swirling rumors but also showcased his dedication to both Barcelona and Spain, reinforcing his reputation as one of the most professional young stars in modern football.
