Pedro has not played a full 90 minutes for Chelsea since their 1-1 draw against Leicester way back on 18th August 2019. Since then, the Spaniard has featured in just 3 games for The Blues which clearly indicates that his future lies elsewhere.

The 32-year-old has constantly flirted with the idea of returning to Barcelona one day. Pedro has often cited the love he still gets from the Catalan fans and how returning to Camp Nou remains one of his greatest desires.

Pedro’s case has been helped by the recent season-ending injury to Luis Suarez. The Uruguayan striker underwent a knee operation last Sunday and is expected to be out of action for the remainder of 2019-20 campaign.

Barcelona are expected to make a short-term signing in January to ensure their attack does not lack quality as they chase La Liga and Champions League honors this season and Pedro seems the ideal transfer for them. The only hurdle will be to agree on a suitable transfer fee which Chelsea can accept easily.
