20 transfers that were hijacked by clubs: Part 2

Pedro

Chelsea acted fast to secure the signing of Pedro

While it comes to Chelsea, there can be an article on the hijacked transfers regarding Chelsea alone! Robben, Salah, Willian, Mikel are just a few to name.

Pedro was set to leave Camp Nou in the summer of 2015 and Manchester United were favourites to land the Spaniard. However, United were not willing to pay the £21m demanded by Barcelona.

Jose Mourinho, the then Chelsea Manager, saw the opportunity and the club concluded the deal in just two hours, whereas Manchester United were in negotiations for more than a month.
