Pedri on Mbappe to Madrid: "I'm neither their sporting director nor their president"

Barcelona playmaker Pedri Gonzalez spoke about Kylian Mbappe's possible transfer to Real Madrid and said they are focused on the US tour and preparing for the new season.

"I'm neither Real Madrid's sporting director nor the president. Let them do what they have to do. We are focused on the tour and preparing for the new campaign," he told reporters at Barcelona's training camp in the United States.

"We have four great games against four very strong opponents. We want to have a good time and above all prepare for next season," he added.

Moreover, the 20-year-old spoke about his new teammate Ilkay Gundogan and his arrival at the Catalan side: "He is spectacular. We've all seen him with Manchester City and I've been able to see him now in training too.

"It's incredible to see how he doesn't lose any balls. We are going to have a great time with him both inside and outside the pitch. It's very difficult to see him lose a ball. His calmness is what surprises me the most. I think the three signings the club has made are world-class players."
