Report: Manchester United to sign Barcelona’s Pedro

JOE

Spanish sources claim that Manchester United will sign Barcelona’s Pedro this week.

Marca report that United have made a decisive move for the 27-year-old, who is available for a relatively low fee due to a reduction in his buyout clause.

Marca claim that an official offer of around £18-20m (€25-29m) will go in this week, with every indication that Barcelona and United will come to an agreement.

“It’s true, we agreed to reduce the value of the buyout clause and it’s true there are offers,” said Pedro. “I want to rest and remain calm…we will see what happens.”

The 27-year-old winger has been integral to Barca’s success in the last seven seasons, with a goalscoring record of roughly a goal every four games. His arrival would be another great coup for the Old Trafford club.
