Barcelona forward Pedro reveals interest from other clubs

Barcelona forward Pedro revealed there are a number of clubs interested in signing him, but the 27-year-old will not make a decision on his future until the summer.

Pedro started up front alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez during Barcelona’s 4-0 win over Almeria on Wednesday, with the forward contributing an assist to one of Suarez’s two goals.

The Spain international has struggled for first team playing time this season and has made no secrets of his desire to feature regularly.

In February, Pedro professed his loyalty to the club but admitted a lack of “continuity” could force him to listen to offers from other clubs.

Following the 4-0 win over Almeria, the forward was asked about the transfer speculation surrounding him in recent months.

“It’s a difficult time for me, but I have to have patience and at the end of the season I will decide what to do,” Pedro admitted.

“I know that there are clubs interested in me and that is very flattering, but we will evaluate things in the summer.

“I enjoyed being back on the pitch and winning. We have picked up all three points, which is the most important thing.”

Arsenal and Liverpool are two teams rumored to be monitoring the forward’s situation at Barcelona.

Pedro joined the Catalan club’s youth system as a 17-year-old in 2004, and since his call-up to the senior squad in 2008 the forward has made close to 200 appearances for La Blaugrana.

The 27-year-old has also been a Spain international since 2010, helping Spain win the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012.
