Roma have reportedly held talks with Chelsea’s Pedro over free transfer

Recent reports from the English media have linked Chelsea winger Pedro with a move to the Serie A.

Pedro’s Chelsea stint

Chelsea secured Pedro’s services from Spanish powerhouse FC Barcelona back in the summer of 2015.

The Blues are understood to have paid the Catalonian outfit £21m for the Spaniard.

Pedro had a decent debut season at the club, before going on to form a key part of Antonio Conte’s attack as Chelsea secured the Premier League title during the 2016/17 campaign.

Pedro would also help guide the capital giants to the FA Cup in 2017/18 and the Europa League last season, notching 43 goals and 28 assists across 201 appearances during his stint in London.

Pedro to Italy

However, the World Cup winner, who turns 33 next month, now appears to be entering the twilight stages of his Chelsea career.

Pedro is out of contract this month, and as things stand, the Spaniard is yet to sign an extension.

Pedro was previously linked with Serie A side Lazio back in March.

But as mentioned above, another Italian outfit appears to have entered the frame for the soon-to-be out of contract star.

According to Matt Law of The Telegraph, AS Roma have held talks with Pedro over a free transfer at the end of the season.

Goal have also recently been reporting on Pedro’s future. And whilst they also mention the likes of Juventus, Sevilla and Valencia have shown an interest in the ageing winger, Goal claim it is Roma who are most likely to sign Pedro on a free transfer.
