Pedro revealed on Monday that his release clause had been lowered to €30million and he has received offers to leave Barca. Premier League champions Chelsea have been linked with a move for the Spain forward, who started just 15 of Barca's 38 La Liga games last season as Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar formed a devastating attacking trio that fired the club to the treble.
"The Pedro situation is very clear. I don't want any player to leave," Luis Enrique said in a media conference.
"But there are contracts, there are release clauses, if the player wants to exercise it, that's his prerogative. I want him to stay."
Asked if he would offer Pedro more playing time to convince him to stay, Luis Enrique added: "I don't guarantee minutes to players because I don't know what's going to happen as the season develops.
"It's going to be a personal decision taken by him and I will respect whatever decision he takes. I don't make promises if I don't know it's a promise I can keep."
