Barça play another pre-season friendly tonight atainst Italian side, Fiorentina. Another game for Luis Enrique to work on squad preparation ahead of the 2015-16 season. The match could also be the pen-ultimate game away from the Camp Nou for Pedro. It would appear that tonight’s game, Wednesday’s Gamper match at home against AS Roma (a tribute is being prepared for the Canary Islander) and the 2015 Euro Super Cup Final against Sevilla in Tbilisi will be his last in the famous claret and navy stripes. A move to Old Trafford being the likelihood for the Tenerife born player.
Pedro is anxious to secure first team playing time and wants to be part of Del Bosque’s plans ahead of Euro 2016 in France. He realizes that he faces stiff competition at Barça from Neymar, Messi and Suárez and this has been instrumental in his desire to move away from the Camp Nou. Barcelona would welcome the income and as soon as Di María’s move to PSG is complete, they can then pay for the Spanish international player. 28 million euro plus variables for the player who arrived at Barça ‘C’ from small Tenerife club, Raqui de San Isidro.
Apart from the backdrop of a possible move for Pedro, Luis Enrique has traveled to Florence with a lack of defensive players. Douglas and Adriano are out through injury. Mathieu misses the trip with flu and Sergi Roberto may be obliged to start at right back.
