According to the reports in Marca, defending Premier League Champions, Chelsea has hijacked Manchester United target and Barcelona winger Pedro Rodriguez.
The FC Barcelona winger was heavily linked with a move to Manchester United in the recent weeks, but the Spanish player is on his way to London today to have his medical with the Blues.
An official confirmation will be out as soon as possible as Chelsea and Barcelona had sealed a deal on Tuesday night for an initial €28m plus another €2m in add-ons which was more than Manchester United’s offer of €25m up front and up to €5m in extras.
Pedro, who became out of favour at Barcelona after the arrival of Luis Suarez and Neymar at the club wanted to leave Camp Nou for regular first team action. With Pedro set to join the Jose Mourinho managed side, the future of Juan Cuadrado at Stamford is all but over and it is like that Brazilian midfielder Oscar will be made to sit out to accompany the Spaniard.
