Chelsea winger confirms summer exit plans

 

Pedro has confirmed he will leave Chelsea when his current deal expires this summer.

 

The former Spain international has spent the last five years at Chelsea after signing from Barcelona for £21M in the summer of August 2015.

 

Pedro was a first-team regular during the start of his time at Stamford Bridge but has dropped completely out of favour under Frank Lampard this season.

 

The 32-year-old returned to the first-team set-up before football was suspended but has now confirmed he will look to return to Spain when his current deal expires.

 

"I'm terminating my contract, but right now it's not the most important thing, nor have I stopped to think about it," he told Cadena Ser, via The Daily Mail.

 

"The most important thing is for everyone to show solidarity. Whatever happens regarding my future will happen but right now is not important as we don't even know when we will return to training.

 

"We have been in quarantine because one of our players [Callum Hudson-Odoi] tested positive for coronavirus, he is now well and we are happy for him."

Pedro has started just eight league matches this season and his first goal involvements of the campaign came in Chelsea's last match before football was suspended.

 

While Pedro is confirmed to go, Chelsea are still trying to work on renewing Willian's contract.

 

The Brazil international's current deal is also due to expire in the summer but he wants a three-year contract to renew.

 

Chelsea are reportedly only willing to sanction a two-year contract for Willian and his future at present is also away from the club.
