Former Barcelona chief Ramon Planes reveals Hansi Flick wanted to sign Pedri for Bayern Munich

Former Barcelona chief Ramon Planes has revealed Hansi Flick tried to sign Pedri for Bayern Munich before he moved to Barcelona.

Barca snapped up Pedri from Las Palmas in a brilliant bit of transfer business, but Planes says that Flick was also keen on the midfielder.

“After the defeat against Bayern Munich in Lisbon, two days later, I received a call from his agent telling me that Bayern wanted to do a video conference,” he told Carrusel Deportivo.

“I did it because they wanted Pedri. I was very surprised because he hadn’t even come to Barça.
