Pedro’s mother: My son seems to be set for a move to the Premier League

Pedro mother has revealed her son will be moving to the Premier League, in a conversation with the president of CD San Isidro Jaime Lorenzo- Pedro’s former youth team in Tenerife.

Manchester United have emerged as the hot favourites to land the 28-year-old in recent days, with Angel Di Maria closes in on his move to Paris Saint-Germain.

“The other day, Pedro’s mother told us he was leaving for England,” Lorenzo told El Larguero.

“I think it would be a good challenge for him and he will have more playing time.

“We will send him a gift! If the agreement is €30 million (£21m) at least €450,000 (£316,350) belongs to us, even though these contracts have some specific clauses.”

Chelsea and Arsenal have also been linked with the Spain international, who is likely to cost in excess of £22 million.

Pedro made 318 appearances for Barcelona since he started playing for the first team in 2008.
