Pedro waiting to speak with Chelsea before deciding future

 

Chelsea forward Pedro has "many offers" from teams across Europe, but is waiting to speak to the club before deciding his future. 

 

The Spaniard, like teammate Willian, is out of contract in the summer and is expected to leave come July 1st, though the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic could yet delay his exit. 

 

There has been no indication that Chelsea are prepared to offer Pedro a new deal at Stamford Bridge, while he has been free to speak to overseas teams since January. 

 

LaLiga outfit Real Betis have been touted as a possible destination for the 32-year-old, but the global outbreak of Covid-19 has added uncertainty to an already complex situation. 

 

"I have to talk to the club, I have a contract until June 30th," Pedro told El Larguero radio station via The Evening Standard. 

 

"I'm open to hearing other offers. I don't know [about Real Betis interest], a meeting with Chelsea is pending. 

 

"The coronavirus situation affected everything, so at the moment we are waiting for a meeting with Chelsea.

 

"I know that the contract is concluding, but we have not yet sat down to discuss whether to renew and continue here or not. I’m waiting for the meeting with the club, but am also open to listening to other offers. 

 

"The priority right now is completing my contract, then we’ll see what happens. I have offers from many places and I’ll evaluate what to do next. 

 

"The truth is, I don’t know what’s going to happen."
