Pedro Rodríguez signed his first professional contract in 2009. When Guardiola bet on who was then known as Pedrito, the striker was amateur. It has been less than a year since that and Barcelona has decided to extend and improve Pedro’s contract before he departs next Thursday to South Africa with the national team to play the World Cup.
Before leaving the presidency, Joan Laporta wanted to thank Pedro, one of the novelties within Del Bosque’s list, how decisive he has been for the achievement of the six titles Barça got in 2009, an historic world record. Guardiola thinks he’s a model for all the ranks’ players because of his humility and performance. Pedro will sign tomorrow his new contract, which escape clause goes from 75 millions to 90 millions of Euros.
