BARCELONA star Pedri has shown off his insane body transformation after returning for pre-season with bulging biceps.
The 20-year-old midfielder has bulked up since making his Barca debut as a skinny teenager.
In new pictures from the Spanish champions’ pre-season training, Pedri appears almost unrecognisable with his new physique.
He could be seen dripping with sweat in a vest as his biceps and triceps bulged during the intense session.
Pedri has completed a considerable transformation since his first season with the first-team.
The youngster had appeared slight and skinny as a 16-year-old back in 2020.

Pedri is reaping the long-term rewards of an intense training regime he started back in 2020.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona’s staff curated and managed a workout plan in order for the midfielder to gain muscles mass.
The plan included training in the gym three times a week during his own time, alongside his regular sessions with his team-mates.
Pedri’s hard work has now paid off with his impressive body transformation.
Despite not turning 21 until November, he has already made 109 appearances for Barcelona since signing from Las Palmas in 2019.
He also has 18 caps for Spain, starring at the Euros and Olympics in 2021 before appearing at last year’s World Cup in Qatar.
