Manchester United talisman Bruno Fernandes was second on the list after playing 72 matches last season. Moreover, the Portuguese star played more games for his club, as he featured in 58 matches while Pedri featured in 52. Additionally, Fernandes has played more minutes than Pedri, who started off as a substitute at the beginning of the season.
However, he became an established star with his performances, and his first Spain cap soon followed. The young star improved so much in the end that UEFA awarded him with the Young Player of the Tournament award at the Euro 2020 finals.
According to goal.com, Pedri has played 52 matches for Barcelona in the La Liga, Copa Del Rey, Spanish Super Cup, and the Champions League in the 2020/21 season, while for Spain, he played 21 matches which include international friendlies, Euro 2020 qualification, Euro 2020 finals and the Olympics 2020.

Pedri and the sharp rise in his market value
A season like this would ensure that the player will see a huge rise in his value, but Pedri’s stock has skyrocketed due to his age, too. The 18-year-old is now worth a whopping 80 million euros. He is the most expensive Spanish player currently and is ranked 16th in the most expensive player in football, according to TransferMarkt.
