Pedri eager for Barca to sign ´magnificent´ Martinez

Pedri hopes Barcelona can raid Athletic Bilbao to sign magnificent defender Inigo Martinez.

Barca have reportedly turned their attention to centre-back Martinez, with Sevilla s Jules Kounde expected to join Chelsea rather than move to Camp Nou.

Pedri believes his Spain team-mate would be a great signing for the Blaugrana, who have been busy in the transfer market ahead of the 2022-23 season.

The teenage midfielder said when asked about the prospect of signing Martinez: I hope he comes. He is a magnificent player. I know him very well from the national team.

Barca academy graduate Pedri believes the Catalan giants have a great chance of winning LaLiga after recruiting the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Franck Kessie.

Asked how the team is ready to approach the season, he replied: With the greatest enthusiasm. In addition, the reinforcements that have come are helping people get excited.

We face this season with the illusion of winning all the titles.
