Barcelona don’t want Pedri heading to Olympics - report

Barcelona have reportedly been in touch with the RFEF to request that young midfielder Pedri does not head off to the Tokyo Olympics this summer.

The 18-year-old has been included in the 22-man squad for the tournament which starts in July shortly after the end of Euro 2020.

Pedri is currently playing for Spain at the Euros and faces a frantic summer if he does end up playing at the Olympics as well.

According to Cadena SER, Barca are worried about Pedri taking part in the Olympics after his exertions at the Euros where he’s emerged as a key player for Luis Enrique’s side.
