Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has urged Barcelona midfielder Pedri to snub the Olympics Games.
Pedri, currently with Spain at the Euros, has been selected by Spain for the Tokyo Games.
But Guardiola said: “I think that a competition in the summer is enough. Messi went to the Olympic Games (in 2008) because he had neither the World Cup nor the Copa America.
“Ferran Torres and Rodri could have gone to the Games and they don’t go, but they’ve already gone to the Euro. It’s too much. They should turn it down. We pay them very well and they serve the club.
“Going to the Euro is very good for them, they are doing very well.”
