New Barcelona president to accept or reject Chelsea’s £22m Pedro offer

And back to work he went yesterday with the Barcelona first team, but if Liverpool can convince him to trade La Liga for the Premier League, he could be Anfield bound in a move rumoured to be worth £14mil. The Catalan giants’ manager, Luis Enrique, has said that while he would love for Pedro to stay, he will respect the player’s wishes if he chooses to leave. Once the identity of the new Barca President is known, the Spain global will have a clearer idea of where he stands in his current club’s pecking order.

“It’s true that between both sides, we made a decision to lower my release clause and there are offers”.

Pedro is predominantly played as a right-winger but is also capable of playing anywhere across the attacking positions, including as a central striker, so he’d give Mourinho plenty of options in the final third. This time around might actually be the time Pedro finally ends up headed to Liverpool.

The Mirror claim that the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea have been showing a keen interest in signing the 27-year-old attacker this summer and Pedro himself admitted that he’s received offers from other clubs and that his situation at Barca is “difficult” due to a lack of regular football.

“I don’t want to think about the future, I want to rest, remain calm, start preseason on Wednesday with the squad and we will see what happens after that”. It is believed that Joan Laporta will make keeping Pedro at the Camp Nou his top priority if he wins.

For Pedro’s part, Sport claim the player is determined to wait for the outcome of the Barcelona presidential elections next week to decide if he is determined to leave.
