Chelsea ace Pedro wanted by Real Betis in return to Spain as Roma circle on free transfer move this summer

REAL BETIS want to bring Chelsea star Pedro back to Spain this summer – but Roma have also set their sights on him.

The 32-year-old looks set to leave Stamford Bridge on a free transfer when his contract expires in June.

Pedro has made just nine appearances in the Premier League this season

Pedro has revealed he has offers from “many places” ahead of the summer transfer window.

Real Betis are looking to lure the Spaniard back to his homeland after spending five years in the Premier League.

The 32-year-old made the move to England in 2015 from LaLiga giants Barcelona in a deal worth £21.4million.

Since joining the Blues, he has won the Premier League, the Europa League and the FA Cup.

Pedro has scored 29 goals and made 16 assists in 135 appearances in the English top-flight.

But has only managed two goals and two assists this term in all competitions after falling out of favour.

Roma also look set to offer the Spaniard a chance to continue his career in Italy next season.

The Serie A side have also been linked to Alexis Sanchez as they look to add some firepower to their squad.

Pedro has confirmed he is still waiting for a meeting with Chelsea to discuss his future.

He said: “The coronavirus situation affected everything, so at the moment we are waiting for a meeting with Chelsea.

“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 here 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.”
