Manchester City Preparing Stunning £200 Million Bid for Barcelona Star Pedri – Set to Become Premier League’s Highest-Paid Midfielder
In what could be one of the most sensational transfers in football history, Manchester City are reportedly preparing a massive £200 million offer to sign Barcelona’s midfield prodigy Pedri this summer.
The shocking news emerged during a press conference at the Etihad, where sources close to the club revealed City’s plans to not only break records — but make Pedri the highest-paid midfielder in Premier League history.
The 21-year-old Spanish international has been a cornerstone of Barcelona’s midfield since bursting onto the scene. With his composure, intelligence, creativity, and unmatched technical ability, Pedri has drawn comparisons to legends like Andrés Iniesta and Xavi — and now, Pep Guardiola wants him to lead the next evolution of City’s midfield dynasty.
“He’s a player who thinks faster than anyone else on the pitch,” a City insider stated. “Pep sees him as the future of our midfield, someone who can control games for the next decade.”
Despite Pedri’s deep ties to Barcelona and his crucial role in their future plans, the Catalan club’s financial troubles could force them to consider a world-record deal, especially if the player is tempted by the Premier League challenge and Guardiola’s project.
If the deal goes through, Pedri would not only become the most expensive midfielder in football history, but would also earn a record salary — with reports suggesting City are ready to offer a weekly wage exceeding £400,000, eclipsing the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Declan Rice.
The news has sent shockwaves through European football, with fans, pundits, and players all reacting to what could be the transfer story of the summer.
Barcelona have yet to officially respond, but pressure will mount in the coming weeks as City prepare their formal approach.
Will Pedri trade Camp Nou for the Etihad?
One thing is certain — if City land this deal, they won’t just be adding a midfielder.
They’ll be securing the heartbeat of world football’s next generation.
