Ex-Chelsea star Pedro leaves one former manager Mourinho to join another old boss in Sarri as he swaps Roma for Lazio

, Ex-Chelsea star Pedro leaves one former manager Mourinho to join another old boss in Sarri as he swaps Roma for Lazio

PEDRO is poised to extend his unique Chelsea connection by swapping Jose Mourinho’s new club Roma for Maurizio Sarri’s latest team Lazio.

The former Sapin winger, 34, played under both managers during his 2015-20 stay at Stamford Bridge.

Wideman Pedro won 65 Spain caps and lifted the Premier League title with Chelsea in 2016-17

Now the ex-Barcelona star is tipped for what could be his last big contract – a swansong free transfer move within Serie A.

Italian football journalist Fabrizio Romano predicts Sarri will finally land his man.

It’s also thought the deal is a perfect solution to both clubs’ financial headache.

But Roma were unwilling to sell or loan him overseas because they would then lose tax breaks.

That would mean coughing up €3.5m in extra taxes – almost £3m.

That was also the reason why Pedro would not terminate his Roma contract.

Instead, he will move without a fee – the only way Lazio could recruit him,.

They are unable to register new players unless President Claudio Lotito ploughed in €10m – equivalent to around  £8.5m.
