Manchester United transfer news: Pedro targeted by Van GaalManchester United are monitoring a potential swoop for Barcelona winger Pedro.Reds boss Louis van Gaal is interested in the 27-year-old Spanish international who plays on the right and also as a forward.
With the Dutchman keeping an eye out on ways to improve United’s goal output next season Pedro’s 50-plus goals in just over 200 La Liga matches for Barca have caught Van Gaal’s eye.
Pedro, who was born in Tenerife, was promoted to Barcelona seniors in 2008 by the then Nou Camp manager Pep Guardiola and was a member of Spain’s 2010 World Cup winning squad and the successful Euro 2012 squad.
Although Pedro signed a new Barca contract in June keeping him at the club until 2019, he was only a late substitute two days later in Barcelona’s Champions League final win over Juventus in Berlin.
Now appears that he is having second thoughts over his future at the Catalan club and was reported this week saying at a Barcelona pre-season training camp.
“There are offers for me this summer and the situation is difficult. Any player wants to have playing time but it is getting more and more difficult with every season that passes,” he said.
“I would like to have finished my career here but we will have to see what happens.”
Both Premier League champions Chelsea and Liverpool are also understood to be tracking Pedro who could be prised away from the Nou Camp for around £20m.
