Manchester United have already convinced Pedro to join them this summer the player’s mother has revealed.
The revelation was made by Jaime Lorenzo, the president of Raqui San Isidro, the first professional club that Pedro played for in Spain.
Lorenzo told radio station Cadena Ser: ‘The player was here working at a soccer school a few weeks back and his friends already know he is going.
‘And the other day I saw Pedro’s mum in a furniture shop and she told me that he is going to England. I believe it’s a good challenge for him and it means he will get more playing time.’
The Spanish fourth tier side San Isidro, based in the Canary Islands, are set to earn £317,000 if the £22million transfer goes through.
Pedro played for them in the 2003 season scoring 35 goals for their B-team, making his debut when he was just 17 in their first team; and then signing for Barcelona in 2004.
If United complete the sale of Angel di Maria and meet Pedro’s asking price he could play his last game at the Camp Nou this Wednesday when they entertain Roma in the traditional Barca curtain-raiser Gamper Trophy.
Barca coach Luis Enrique wants the player to stay until the European Super Cup on August 11 against Sevilla but Manchester United want him at Old Trafford before the season starts.
