The 28-year-old has been a target for Manchester United but British media have reported that they pulled out of the deal and Chelsea have tabled an offer of 21 million pounds ($32.9 million) to bring him to Stamford Bridge.

Pedro, who played more than 200 games for Barca and has 51 caps, is travelling to London to complete the transfer, the reports said.
