Pedri clearly worked hard in pre-season before returning to training at Barcelona, with the idol showing off an incredible body transformation.

The 19-year-old joined the Catalan giants from fellow Spanish side Las Palmas two years ago and has become an important part of Xavi’s side. There are high hopes for the midfielder ahead of the upcoming campaign after two fantastic seasons. And he’s clearly gone to great lengths to ensure he can perform as well as possible. That’s the assessment of the photos the Spain international has released on Instagram from the first day of Barcelona’s pre-season programme.

The photo that Pedri posted especially shows off his current big biceps. The teenage star sat cross-legged on an exercise bike, showing off her now huge muscles. His giant biceps are a complete contrast to when he first arrived at the Nou Camp. Pictures from that time period show Pedri with a much slimmer physique, especially in his biceps, suggesting he has been working in the gym since then.

Pedri was one of 23 players who returned for the first day of Barcelona’s pre-season program on Monday. They completed medical examinations, including a review of body composition, a pediatric examination and an echocardiogram, before beginning their workouts. There, Xavi puts his team through their paces with fitness exercises and football work. The remaining members of the squad will have another week of rest after the summer internationals and will return next Monday.

The returning players face a packed schedule, with two training sessions on Thursday and Sunday being their only days off. Pedri’s incredible body transformation would then put him in good shape for the job.
