According to Italian transfer experts Fabrizio Romano and Nicolo Schira, Chelsea forward Pedro Rodriguez is set to join AS Roma at the end of the campaign.
The Spaniard extended his contract at the Stamford Bridge outfit till the end of the campaign yesterday as it was due to expire at the end of this month, and that will provide boss Frank Lampard an option in attack till the Premier League and Champions League campaigns finish.
Pedro will sign a two-year deal with Roma with the option of another, ending his five-year stay at Chelsea.
The 32-year-old joined the Blues from Barcelona in the summer of 2015 for an initial £19 million and has featured in 201 games across all competitions, scoring 43 goals.
Pedro won the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League in 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 respectively with Chelsea, playing key roles in every of those victories.
The Stamford Bridge outfit have landed RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner and brought in Hakim Ziyech from Ajax for £45 million and £37 million respectively, and it’s safe to say they won’t miss the former Barcelona ace.
