# International star wants Chelsea ace to rejoin European giant

![Pedro](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Pedro-500x333.jpg)Chelsea fans in the Transfer Tavern are debating whether one more recent addition should be offloaded, amidst comments from an international team-mate.

[*ESPN*](https://www.espnfc.co.uk/story/2894771/jordi-alba-hoping-for-barcelona-reunion-with-chelseas-pedro)[quote](https://www.espnfc.co.uk/story/2894771/jordi-alba-hoping-for-barcelona-reunion-with-chelseas-pedro) Barcelona full-back Jordi Alba as stating he would like former winger Pedro Rodriguez to rejoin the Catalan giants, after a disappointing first campaign in the Premier League with Chelsea.

Pedro spoke earlier this week about [possibly returning to Barcelona](https://www.espnfc.co.uk/story/2572052/pedro-signs-for-chelsea-from-barcelona-after-man-utd-snub) and Alba, who is on duty with Spain at the European Championships, believes his close friend can [still offer a lot to Barcelona.](https://www.espnfc.co.uk/story/2894771/jordi-alba-hoping-for-barcelona-reunion-with-chelseas-pedro)

> “He made history with Barcelona and he is a great friend of mine. One of the few friends I have in football. Hopefully I can share many great moments with him. He has all the attributes to succeed with Barcelona, hopefully he can come back. He left, but I think it is vital for the team to have him as a player.”

Our landlord believes Chelsea may happily allow Pedro to leave, especially with Antonio Conte taking charge, and he feels a move could be secured this summer.

**Chelsea fans, should Pedro leave this summer? Let us know in the comments below!**
