The Blue's manager Jose Mourinho is not enthusiastic to bring Pedro at the Stamford Bridge. He is firm on his decision that his club has many options on the attacking front. At the moment, Chelsea FC has five wingers to be precise, excluding Mohamed Salah who was on course to leave the club this summer.

Manchester United has opened the door to discuss about Pedro's terms with FC Barcelona. In the absence of competitors, the Red Devils are ready to put in a suitable offer and sign him up without any controversy.

"It's complicated because someone wants to play and be in the first XI. It won't be the same as Barcelona, but the ambition is to continue improving and play. The sporting aspect is what rules and what's true is that one is happier than they can play." Pedro said yesterday.

Pedro was a graduate of FC Barcelona juniors. In 2008, he was promoted to play the first team football at Camp Nou. In his first year, he only managed to play 6 games in all competitions, but the club saw a great potential in him.

In 2009, he had become a regular first XI player of the club and continued to be their winger in the following years to come, before Luis Suarez's arrival.

However, Manchester United is already on the move and everything points to Pedro playing at Old Trafford this summer.

Spanish daily El Confidencial said that FC Barcelona need to recoup some money from player sales, after splashing huge on Arda Turan this summer and Suarez a year ago, via the Guardian.

Thus far, the Catalan club hasn't received any solid proposals for Pedro. Fc Barcelona are expecting a precise price tag between €25 to 35 million for the winger to be taken him away at Camp Nou. Barca has been on talks with Manchester United to reach a deal for the winger.
