Manchester United Set To Make £18 Bid For Pedro Rodriguez

Pedro Rodríguez doesn't look to have long left with the 'Azulgranas'. Manchester United have come on the scene, and they intend to do all they can to sign the player from the Canaries. Louis van Gaal has made his mind up and the English club will make an initial bid next week in the region of £18-20 million, around 25-29 million euros.

This sum should be looked on positively by the 'Azulgranas'. When Pedro renewed his contract at the end of last season, the player and club agreed that if an offer of over 25 million euros were to be made then the club would be prepared to negotiate his departure. And this is exactly what United intend to do next week.


The signs are that the clubs will be able to come to an agreement.
Luis Enrique isn't keen on Pedro leaving, but everyone knows that he wants more playing time. He wants to be in Vicente del Bosque's squad for Euro 2016, and that means that he needs to play regularly.

He knows that's no longer possible with Barcelona. Leo Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez are standing in his way, and he's only given the scraps that are left. Logically, Pedro wants much better than that, and he's spent several months looking for a new club.

Work on the deal is already underway. The player didn't want to make a move until a new president had been elected, but that is over and done with now.
