Pedro joins Chelsea in 30m euro deal
Print Edition
SPAIN forward Pedro has agreed to join English Premier League champions Chelsea from Barcelona, the clubs said yesterday.
Chelsea will pay 30 million euros (US$33.54 million) for the player — three of which will be based on performance, the Spanish champions said on its website.
The length of the contract was not revealed.
Pedro chose the Premier League champions over rival suitors Manchester United and Manchester City, the 28-year-old’s arrival at Stamford Bridge ending a summer-long transfer saga.
Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho’s latest acquisition turns up in London boasting five La Liga trophies and three Champions League titles.
“I am very happy to be here. I am very excited to start my adventure at Chelsea and I am here to keep winning titles,” Pedro told the club website.
“Thanks to the club and the supporters for giving me the opportunity to put the blue shirt on.”
A product of the Catalan club's youth academy, Tenerife-born Pedro made his debut in a La Liga match against Real Murcia in 2008.
He made his first appearance for Spain in a warm-up game for the 2010 World Cup against Saudi Arabia and helped La Roja claim their debut global crown in South Africa.
He was also part of the successful Spain squad at Euro 2012 as Spain secured a second consecutive continental crown.
He left Barcelona having fallen down the pecking order under Luis Enrique.
