Pedro ready to join Chelsea for £22m from Barcelona
Jose Mourinho has made a £20million move for Barcelona forward Pedro.
The Chelsea boss is a big admirer and it is understood his personal involvement has played a key role.
Murinho’s inquiries and sounding out of availability means Pedro is now keen on switching to Chelsea and hopes to join their US tour later this week. Pedro was committed to staying at the Nou Camp but now accepts his future is in doubt and talks with the club’s hierarchy showed they are prepared to let him go at the right price.
The Spain international, currently on holiday in Tenerife, spoke to Cesc Fabregas and had glowing reports on Chelsea from his international team-mate.
Liverpool and Arsenal had been linked with him but Chelsea believe they have stolen a march on their competition. Chelsea see Pedro as an exciting wide player who works hard and fits into the Mourinho mould.
They have already signed Radamel Falcao and look set to complete Asmir Begovic. But a move for Pedro - just days after Barca snapped up Arda Turan from Atletico Madrid - is a big coup. Chelsea are willing to offload Oscar which could mean they still go for another central midfielder.
