With Barcelona parading unarguably the best attack line in Messi, Suarez and Neymar at the moment, who has more than 100 goals between them in their debut season of playing together, Pedro Rodriguez will never find his way back to the first team again. And at 27, an age most players hit their prime and peak, the Tenerife-born forward cannot afford to watch games from the sidelines and only get to play 10 minutes per week. National duty will beckon soon, as the Euros come close, but only the match-fit players will be invited, and Pedro is far from one. He needs more playing time, and that won’t be available at Camp Nou, a move to the EPL will likely give him that, and Barcelona are ready to let him go for just 7 million pounds.
Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea all want the services of the forward cum winger, as he has expressed a desire to move to the EPL. Although he has also attracted offers from Serie A Champions, Inter Milan. Barcelona once claimed they want to hold on to the La Masia Academy graduate who has appeared for the team 203 times, scoring 58 goals in the process, but seeing that he isn’t keen on extending his contract that expires next year, they are now ready to let him leave.
Pedro will definitely make a good addition to the Chelsea team. Mourinho once expressed his fondness of him, and a chance to link up with the Spain international has presented himself. With many clubs on Pedro’s heels, it will be an interesting summer transfer to watch. But definitely a Pedro in Stamford bridge will provide great backup options with his skills and pace, which all fit into the EPL style of play.
