Pedro’s last match at the Stamford Bridge was on 26th July in their last Premier League match of the 2019-20 campaign. He has already agreed on a deal with AS Roma. He will be joining the Italian club on a free transfer.
The 32-year-old has made 137 appearances for the Blues netting 29 goals in all competitions. But this season he has made just 8 Premier League starts and 21 appearances in all competitions.
