Las Palmas president confirms Barcelona payment for Pedri

The president of Las Palmas has confirmed the club have received a total of €11m from Barcelona so far from their signing of midfielder Pedri.

The 18-year-old joined the Blaugrana in an initial €5m transfer from the island club this summer and is widely regarded as one of the best youth products in Spanish football, swiftly establishing himself in the first-team reckoning at the Catalan giants.

Now, Las Palmas president Miguel Ángel Ramírez has confirmed his club have received an additional €6m from their add-ons while he also confirmed that the total value of the deal could reach a total sum of €22m.

The teenager has earned his first call-up to the Spanish national squad this month, earning his former club an additional €1m.

According to research data from KMPG last month, the teenager has enjoyed a market value rise of €26m over the past year – more than any other player in world football.
