Former footballer Luis Figo (52 years old) will always remain a name hated by Barcelona fans, after being the protagonist of what the supporters consider to be the greatest possible betrayal: the transition from Barcelona to Real Madrid.
The former Portuguese international, who was even one of the captains of Barcelona, transferred to the great rival in 2000. Florentino Perez's team paid 60 million euros.
Luis Figo had played in Barcelona for 5 years, between 1995 and 2000. He took the direct step to Real Madrid, a team he stayed until 2005. He ended his career in 2009, at Inter Milan.
Now, Figo has been challenged to choose which player from Barcelona to take the same route as him.
Luis Figo would take him to Pedri from Barcelona to Real Madrid
“If I could choose someone from Barcelona to sign with Real Madrid would be pedri“He said, according to Abola.Pt.
In the opposite direction, Figo would have transferred Valverde to Barcelona: “There are two safe and important players in their teams ”.
Pedri is one of the most important footballers in Hansi Flick's group. It was brought by Catalans in 2019, from Las Palmas, in exchange for the amount of 23 million euros.
At only 22 years old, he collected 205 matches, 27 goals and 21 decisive passes. It is quoted at 140 million euros, according to transfermarkt.com.
It has 36 matches and 5 goals in the shirt of the Spanish national team, with which it was a European champion in 2024. It also has two champion titles in La Liga and two cups.
After the first 3 stages of the new season in La Liga, Barcelona ranks 3rd, with 7 points. The next match of the Catalans will be on September 14. Flick's team will receive Valencia's visit.
