Kroos Says Pedri is the Best Midfielder in the World Right Now
Toni Kroos, the former Germany midfielder, has praised Barcelona’s Pedri as the best player in his position right now. Despite his history with Real Madrid, Kroos didn’t hesitate to compliment the Catalan star, highlighting Pedri’s ability to score goals, provide assists, and offer creative solutions on the field.
“Pedri is the best in his role at the moment,” Kroos said. “He’s a player you miss when he’s not playing, no matter who you’re up against. He doesn’t just score or assist—he gives you options.”
Kroos also shared some impressive stats about Pedri’s performances this season. In the Champions League, Pedri averages 52 successful dribbles per game, and in La Liga, that number jumps to 59, where he regularly beats 11 to 12 defenders each match. “That’s the toughest thing for a midfielder to do,” Kroos added. “He’s the best, and when he’s missing, you really feel it.”
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
