Barcelona, Spain Young Starlet Reveals His Dream Shirt Swap

Pedri, a midfielder for Spain and FC Barcelona, has stated that Lionel Messi would be his ideal player to swap shirts with in the World Cup championship game.

The Barcelona playmaker is presently pursuing world dominance in Qatar 2022 as La Roja gets ready to play Morocco in the round of 16.

Pedri is aiming to reacquaint himself with seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi, but he has so far avoided the impulse to switch jerseys with any players he has played against in the Middle East.

When asked by Sport if he would be open to trading shirts, Pedri responded, “I changed it with David Raya, if it counts, because I wanted one of him. Not yet, with the other teams.

When asked to choose his ideal shirt, he added, “Leo’s, that’s how we would see each other in a hypothetical final.”

He said: “I want to score my first goal with the selection. If I keep at it, I hope I get there during the World Cup.”

The winner of Tuesday’s match between Spain and Morocco will play either Portugal or Switzerland in the quarterfinals.
