Pedro future still unclear

The paper now claims that United’s offer has been accepted and the 27-year-old will now be on his way to Old Trafford for somewhere between €25m-€30m. Yes, I’ve spoken to him but I can’t reveal what he said.

Should the reports be true Pedro will become United’s fifth signing of the summer, following in the footsteps of Memphis Depay, Matteo Darmian, Bastian Schweinsteiger and France global Morgan Schneiderlin.

Manchester United and Arsenal are also said to be showing an interest in the Spaniard, with the Gunners signing Alexis Sanchez from Barca last summer.

“He would move for around £22m”.

Pedro recently inked a new contract with Barcelona that lowered his buyout clause to £30 million (RM124.8 million). “I talked to him”.

Pedro has been with the Catalan club for 11 years and was a regular in the side that was managed by Pep Guardiola, however under new coach Enrique he has seen his game time severely reduced.

“They will need time but they are still competitive”.

‘They are a big club, ‘ said the midfielder, who has twice played against United in Champions League finals.

His 45th-minute strike and Roberto’s 56th-minute goal ensured that even without such stars as Argentina’s Lionel Messi and Brazilian Neymar – let off the pre-season tour after Copa America duty – Barcelona got the win their dominant performance deserved in front of 93,226 fans at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl.

The paper adds that the Red Devils hope to complete the transfer by the end of the week, with Louis van Gaal’s squad plans now coming together.

The Dutch boss failed to clarify the situation during a press conference on 22 July, saying: “I don’t know if I want to buy a striker”.
