It’s not been the easiest of summers for Pedro, with his name cropping up time and time again over a possible departure from Barça. As time passes the margin for maneuvering gets shorter and the pressure of the player mounts to make a definitive decision. Remain at Barça and potentially have a secondary role or make the move to a new club leaving behind a positive financial windfall for the Camp Nou club.
The player is not short of would be suitors. However, it’s the bid from Manchester United that has whetted the Canary Islanders appetite most. Louis van Gaal, United coach is prepared to let the player have more time to mull over the move and its Pedro’s wish to participate in both European and Spanish Super Cup’s before making a final decision.
It’s been well documented how Pedro’s buy-out clause has been reduced from 150 million euro to a more realistic 30 million euro making a move away from the club a distinctive reality. Pedro, in the meantime is revealing little, preferring to train and play when called upon by the coach. Barça are keen for him to stay and the player will now use the time between now and the Super Cup’s to make potentially the most important decision of his professional career.
