| Manchester United are closing in on a deal to sign Pedro from Barcelona |
MANCHESTER UNITED are closing in on a £20million deal to sign Pedro, according to reports.
The Sun claim United officials, led by chief executive Ed Woodward, were thrashing out a deal with Barcelona's representatives last night.
A source told the paper: “A deal is almost done. Pedro wants it, United want it and Barcelona accept they have to let the lad go.”
Pedro is set to say his final goodbyes to Barcelona fans tonight during a pre-season friendly against Roma at the Nou Camp.
The Spain international is said to be desperate to secure regular first-team football ahead of Euro 2016 – something that is not guaranteed at Barcelona with Neymar, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
The striker, who joined the La Liga giants 11 years ago, has scored 58 goals in 204 appearances.
Barca boss Luis Enrique recently hinted Pedro was set to leave.
He said: “I want him to stay. From my part there is no news. But he may give you news.”
