After Pedro Signing, What’s Next For The Blues — Chelsea Transfer News
Pedro is reportedly available for a fee of £22million, but senior figures at Old Trafford say doubts in the player’s mind over the move led United boss Louis van Gaal to end the pursuit.
The deal would also have a purchase option included, though it is not clear whether Chelsea would want the clause to be mandatory or not. But he is likely to move on with Pedro seen as his replacement. In 63 Premier League appearances since joining from Anzhi Makhachkala two years ago, Willian has scored just six goals and registered five assists.
Meanwhile, French publication Foot Mercato suggests Willian will be the one to make way, with the Brazilian having been offered to Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich despite having been used consistently by Mourinho since he returned to Chelsea. It appears manager Jose Mourinho would rather keep Moses, who impressed during pre-season, than Cuadrado but accepts that the 24-year-old Nigeria global may not feature regularly in the first team once he recovers from injury.
According to Sky Italia, Chelsea are now willing to consider allowing Cuadrado to leave on loan.
The Blues are already plotting a FOURTH offer for Everton defender John Stones before the transfer deadline.
However, if Chelsea can table a mega bid of 70 million pounds (which is believed to be the asking price), Juventus might find it hard to turn down.
The 28-year-old won every club honour possible during seven all-conquering seasons at Barcelona, including three Champions Leagues, five Spanish La Liga titles and a Club World Cup.
