Chelsea are to make an official £22m bid for Barcelona winger Pedro Rodriguez this summer, according to reports.
The 27-year-old Spanish international has been a key player for Barca since he was handed his debut by former boss Pep Guardiola in 2008, whilst his form has seen him hold down a regular spot with Spain.
However, the arrivals of Neymar and Luis Suarez in recent years at Camp Nou have seen the Tenerife born winger replaced and it is fully expected that he will be sold this summer.
Barca, of course are banned from making signings until January 2016, but they have depth in their forward options with the likes of Sandro Ramirez, Munir El Haddadi andAdama Traore all given first team action this season.
Pedro, whose current deal expires in 2016, is currently valued at £22m by the Catalan club, making the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United keen to explore the possibility of a summer move.
And, it is understood that Chelsea will make a solid £22m bid for the Spaniard this summer.
