Reports in the media have claimed that Spanish star Pedro will sign a two-year deal with the Chelsea.
There has been alot of transfer speculation in the media over the past few days, despite the fact the Coronavirus has dominated the headlines and the fact that the summer transfer window is still months away from opening.
But with the reports in the media all suggesting that Frank Lampard will be seeking to add a few wingers to his Chelsea side in the summer, that means there will no longer be space for the likes of Pedro, who is out of contract when this season FINALLY finishes.
And With the arrival of Hakim Ziyech from Ajax in June, the veteran Spaniard would see his first team options limited still further and it would be a surprise to see him stay in west London. However, according to ESPN, veteran Pedro’s apparently quite willing to agree to a two-year extension, rather than the three-year deal that he would be more happy to sign.
He recently insisted that a deal is still a possibility, but with ‘offers from many places’ it still seems most likely that the World Cup winner will find a new home ahead of next season.
‘The coronavirus situation affected everything, so at the moment we are waiting for a meeting with Chelsea,’ said the Spaniard on the Sun website ‘I must meet with the club, but I have offers from many places too.
‘I know that the contract is concluding, but we have not yet sat down to discuss whether to renew and continue here or not. ‘I’m waiting for the meeting with the club, but am also open to listening to other offers. ‘The priority right now is completing my contract, then we’ll see what happens. ‘I don’t know, I really don’t know. I have offers from many places and I’ll evaluate what to do next. ‘The truth is, I don’t know what’s going to happen.’
It Would that be a wise move from Chelsea for a player who’s turning 33 this summer and has barely played a bit-part role this season, outside of the last few weeks just before the stoppage of play due to the pandemic? But this summer … no one really knows what to expect.
