Pedro - £7million

According to reports from The Express this morning, PSG have entered the race to sign Barcelona winger-forward Pedro.

The 27 year-old has done and won it all throughout his tenures with the Catalans and the Spanish national team, winning five La Liga titles, three Champions League titles, the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 European Championship.

But his first team role has been severely reduced by the incredible three-man front-line of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez, leading many to speculate he’d leave the Nou Camp this summer.

The 51-cap international appeared to end speculation over his future last month by signing a contract extension until 2019, which included a £108million release clause.

But earlier this week, Pedro hinted he could still move on in the current window, describing his situation as ‘delicate’.

Arsenal are believed to have contacted the winger’s agent whilst Liverpool are also interested in a summer transfer. But according to The Express, who cite Spanish publication Marca, the Premier League duo now face competition for Pedro’s signature from Ligue 1 champions PSG.

They’re targeting the 5 foot 6 attacker as a potential replacement for Ezequiel Lavezzi, who is out of favour under Laurent Blanc.
