Hello and welcome to the EPL transfer news roundup for the day! Here are the top stories of the day surrounding the Premier League!


Pedro would leave everything to join Barcelona

Chelsea star Pedro Rodriguez has revealed that he would leave everything to join Barcelona. The former Barcelona has been open about his intentions to go back to the Camp Nou should the opportunity arise.

The Spaniard also revealed that there were talks of him rejoining the Blaugrana earlier in the summer but nothing came of it in the end.

"If Barca call me, I'll drop everything," Pedro was quoted by AS.
"There was a moment in pre-season when we played against Barça that, after talking with the coach, I saw a chance, but the door closed quickly.
"At this point, I don't know what will happen to me, just that I'm contracted to Chelsea until the end of the season."

Pedro’s contract with Chelsea expires at the end of the season and he can sign a pre-contract with a club of his choice from January.
