Chelsea forward Pedro has revealed he wants to return to Barcelona just 12 months after switching the Camp Nou for west London.
Chelsea only signed the Spain international in a £21.4m deal last summer but he failed to settle and establish himself in the first-team set-up.
As a result Pedro has already revealed he has held talks with Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu about returning to the La Liga champions this summer.
“I have already spoken about it with the President when we [Barcelona] were in the [cup] final (when Barcelona beat Sevilla 2-0 in the Copa del Rey final last month) and spoke to all the people who want me there,” Pedro told BeIN Sports, via London Evening Standard.
“It’s complicated, but I’ve always said that I would like to retire at Barcelona. However, I know it’s difficult because the years go by and the club has the best players in the world, it is very demanding club and to return is complicated. But I do not rule it out either.
“I had been 11 or 12 years in Barcelona, my family is from there and also many friends. The fans loved me, I felt very valued around the club, and it’s always hard to leave the club of your dreams.”
Despite failing to establish himself as a starter for Jose Mourinho and Guus Hiddink last season, only Diego Costa (12) scored more league goals for Chelsea than Pedro (7).
