Pedro González López is widely known as Pedri, a midfielder who has become central to both Barcelona and the Spain national team. Born in Bajamar, Tenerife on 25 November 2002, this profile, prepared for collectors at Walkouts, traces his rise from local youth football to major trophies and explains why authenticated memorabilia such as signed shirts and authentic autographs carry meaningful provenance.
Pedri began his career in Tenerife with UD Tegueste before moving to CD Laguna and, in 2018, joining the youth setup at Las Palmas. He signed his first professional contract on 15 July 2019 and made his senior debut on 18 August 2019, aged 16. A month later, on 19 September 2019, he scored his first professional goal to become the youngest goalscorer in Las Palmas history, a milestone that often appears in the provenance notes for early career items.
Barcelona reached an agreement to sign Pedri on 2 September 2019, the move becoming effective from 1 July 2020. He made his first appearance for the club on 27 September 2020, scored his first UEFA Champions League goal on 20 October 2020, and netted his first La Liga goal on 7 November 2020. These breakthrough moments underpin the narrative attached to signed shirts and framed autographs from his debut season.
Pedri's early senior honours include the Copa del Rey triumph on 17 April 2021. Individually he won the Golden Boy and the Kopa Trophy in 2021, recognition that frequently features in catalogue notes for limited memorabilia editions. He also endured injury setbacks, notably a hamstring issue in April 2022, which adds context to match-worn provenance when items are tied to specific recovery or comeback periods.
By 28 January 2023 Pedri marked 100 appearances for Barcelona and helped the club to the La Liga title in the 2022-23 season. The 2024-25 campaign saw a return to sustained fitness under Hansi Flick; Pedri assisted a key goal on 21 January 2025, signed a contract extension on 30 January 2025 committing him to the club until 2030, and scored in the Copa del Rey final on 26 April 2025, a moment collectors cite when describing match-linked items.
Internationally Pedri has been a constant presence since his senior debut in March 2021. He was named UEFA European Championship Young Player of the Tournament at Euro 2020 after an extraordinary summer of appearances, won Olympic silver with Spain at the 2020 Games, and was part of Spain's Euro 2024 winning squad, despite an injury in the quarter final. He scored his first senior international goals with a brace on 8 June 2024, details often referenced in autograph inscriptions and signed match programmes.
Pedri's style - intelligent roaming, tight control, incisive passing and high work rate - explains his appeal to collectors. Signed shirts, authentic autographs and limited edition memorabilia that can be tied to defining fixtures such as his Champions League debut goal or the Copa del Rey final carry enhanced storytelling value. Provenance notes that reference specific match dates, competitions and awards make items more meaningful to discerning buyers seeking authenticated pieces.
As Pedri continues to build his legacy at Barcelona and with Spain, authenticated memorabilia remains a direct way to own a piece of his career narrative. For collectors seeking certified, narrative-rich items, Walkouts lists authenticated shirts and autographs with clear provenance, helping preserve the connection between moments on the pitch and the tangible collectibles that record them.
