Chelsea agree $33.2m deal for Barcelona winger Pedro

English champions Chelsea have agreed a deal with Barcelona for the signing of Spanish international winger Pedro Rodriguez, both clubs announced on Thursday.
“FC Barcelona and Chelsea FC have reached an agreement for the transfer of Pedro Rodriguez for 30 million euros ($33.2 million, £21.2 million), three of which are variables depending on performance,” Barcelona said in a statement.
Pedro chose the Premier League champions over rival suitors Manchester United and Manchester City, the 28-year-old’s arrival at Stamford Bridge ending a summer-long transfer saga.
Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho’s latest acquisition turns up in London boasting five La Liga trophies and three Champions League titles.
“I am very happy to be here. I am very excited to start my adventure at Chelsea and I am here to keep winning titles,” Pedro told his new club’s website.
“Thanks to the club and the supporters for giving me the opportunity to put the blue shirt on.”
He left Barcelona having fallen down the pecking order at the Camp Nou under Luis Enrique, who has preferred the all-star front three of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez and has used the Canary-Islands born player more sparingly.
