Barcelona could receive a significant payout from UEFA for the knee injury sustained by Pedri. The midfielder was taken off in the first half of Spain’s Euro 2024 Quarter Final win over Germany, after a rough challenge from Toni Kroos.
The Spaniard seems to have injured his knee, and will miss the semifinal clash against France. While the full extent of his injury hasn’t been confirmed yet, Barcelona will receive compensation from UEFA for every day of his absence beyond August 2. The rules state that UEFA will only pay clubs for player absences caused by injury starting from the 29th day of their recovery.

UEFA has a maximum salary cap of €7.5 million when it comes to injury payouts. And, their daily maximum limit of payment to clubs is set at €20,548. Which means that Barcelona will receive €20,548 for every day of Pedri’s unavailability beyond August 2.
The 21-year-old has quickly established himself as one of the top players for club and country, and his injury will be a huge blow for both Spain and Barcelona.
