According to Marca.com, the Red Devils are offering $28m and with add-ons could rise to approx $35m for Pedro, the Barcelona winger/striker who is finding playing minutes hard to come by. Pedro has sunk in the depth chart, after all he’s competing with Neymar Jr and Luis Suarez well in front of him. Last season, he made just 15 starts and came off the bench in 20 other matches, thirteen matches less than the previous season. It’s clear he’s not getting enough playing time.

The problem is Barcelona is under sanctions for player trafficking and as such cannot conduct transfer business till next January next year which makes them wary when it comes to selling players. Man Utd on the other hand are waiting for the Angel Di Maria transfer to PSG to go through where the sticking point is the price. Louis Van Gaal could then get his front 3 sorted out with Pedro joining Rooney and Memphis Depay up top.
