"I spoke a lot with Luis Enrique that season, Pedro tells FourFourTwo. It was the Barca of the three beasts up front Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez and it wasn't easy to get minutes. The coach was honest, he told me I wasn't going to play much, and the best thing for my interests, given how ambitious I was, was to leave."
"Barca meant everything to me and I'd like to have finished my career there, but there are moments in life you have to face with courage, and I decided to embark on another project that also excited me. With the passage of time, I don't regret the experiences I've had abroad. Manchester United were believed to be the frontrunners to sign the 2010 World Cup winner, only for Chelsea to swoop and sign him in a 19million deal."
Pedro faced reduced playing time at Barcelona in 2015 because he competed with Messi, Neymar and Luis Suárez. Luis Enrique told Pedro he would not play much, prompting Pedro to seek opportunities elsewhere despite having recently agreed a four-year contract. Pedro decided to leave Barcelona to embark on a new project abroad and does not regret his overseas experiences. Manchester United were reportedly close to signing Pedro, but their delay allowed Chelsea to complete a 19million transfer for the 2010 World Cup winner before the season started.
