Winger opens door to Chelsea stay but has offers from 4 other clubs

https://www.chelsea-news.co/2020/05/winger-opens-door-chelsea-stay-offers-4-clubs/

There are many uncertainties in football right now due to the coronavirus.

However, Chelsea still look set to lose a number of players whose contracts are expiring at the end of next month.

The Blues are looking to conclude talks with some of those players regarding potential new deals, but these players are also receiving offers from elsewhere as we speak.

One of those is veteran winger Pedro, who according to Goal, has offers from Real Betis and Roma in Europe, and two offers from America from Inter Miami and New York City FC.

Pedro has confirmed that he is still due to have talks with Chelsea over a possible extension, but he could accept any of the other four offers at anytime and could be out the exit door at Stamford Bridge by the end of June.

He has remained rather coy on the situation, but doesn’t rule out staying at Chelsea, as Goal go on to report.

He said:

“I know that the contract is concluding, but we have not yet sat down to discuss whether to renew and continue here or not. I’m waiting for the meeting with the club, but am also open to listening to other offers.

“The priority right now is completing my contract, then we’ll see what happens.”

Is he going straight away or seeing out the season?

Well, I am sure he will stay to finish the season. He has always been top professional.

Strange we have heard nothing about extending his contract and Willian at least until the end of the season.

Willian has pretty much confirmed he's going to accept short term terms.

According to Marca (via Sport Witness), Pedro doesn’t see any point of continuing the season with the Blues past June 30th.

Shit if true.

You know Willian is going to pull this shit too. 

[Magic Lamps 11,649]

That’s really poor from him. He can not join Roma till September so he could as well se ethe season out with us. If it’s true I guess we will see  Mount and Barkley as wingers again -.-

[killer1257 3,282]

I am not even sure why he would leave us right now when Pedro was starting the last couple of matches and played very well. I think he will til season ends.

Obviously Pedro has a right to leave at the end of his deal. It's not unreasonable of him to want to protect his next contract. Not playing avoids injury, ensures a good rest, and sets up a structured preseason for himself. His decision is still disappointing though.

If true, this is more evidence that things are not as we would like them to be in Cobham. First there was the cold reception for Pulli, then the players seemingly failing to offer the club financial help during the pandemic, and now this.

As far as I know, Pedro has always given his best, and generally been a good servant. If this decision shows that there isn't a bond of affection between the club and some of its players, then maybe less harm will be done if they do leave asap. It will take maximum output from the players to secure a CL place. If some of them find they've already moved on in their heads, then there's no point forcing them to leave their bodies behind.

I don't understand why people have read or are reading too much into Pulisic's comments about getting ignored on his first day. He said it himself, it was after a long training day, everyone was tired and sleeping inside the bus. I'm sure he got a proper introduction the following day and he didn't mean anything malicious with it. There's nothing after that to suggest he isn't liked etc and he looks to be getting along well with the younger players, which is hardly surprising.

We aren't the only club to have not made the players take a pay cut. Based on the usual reliable sources, discussions between the players and club were amicable and there was no ill feeling between both parties. The club asked the players to continue supporting charities during this pandemic and given we have not furloughed any staff, continue to pay the players and staff's wages in full and are looking to spend big in the transfer window, it suggests the club are in a good/stable position to survive this period without the wage cut. And that is when you consider we have two full proper teams within the club - the men and women teams.

As for Pedro, I agree with you that he has every right to do what he wants since his contract expires on June 30 but I'd reserve my judgment until we get an official news or stories from more reliable sources on what's happening. Right now, the rumors that are going around are just that...rumors.
