Franck Kessie, Andreas Christensen, Hector Bellerin, and Marcos Alonso were additional free agents added by Barcelona.

When questioned about the team’s newcomers, Pedri singled out fellow midfielder Franck Kessie for special praise. Kessie transferred to the club from Serie A champions AC Milan after his contract with AC Milan expired.

“Kessié is an animal, he is crazy on the pitch,” . “When they collide, people are thrown three meters, as I said, in training I prefer not to be by his side.” he told sources

Additionally, Pedri described how Raphinha had taken him by surprise. The Brazilian joined after helping Leeds United remain in the Premier League the previous year.

“I was very surprised, he works a lot for the team,” he said. “He is always running and trying to steal the ball. He has quality and a shot that few people have.”
