Pedro’s Chelsea stay could turn out to be a brief one.

The Standard are reporting that the Spain international wants to return to Barcelona, just a year after leaving for Stamford Bridge in a £21.4million deal.

Speaking to BeIN Sports at Spain’s Euro 2016 camp, the 28-year-old spoke of his desire to return to his former side.

“Hopefully (I can return to Barcelona) but I know it’s hard,” he said.

“I have already spoken about it with the President when we (Barcelona) were in the (Cup) final (when Barcelona beat Sevilla 2-0 last month) and spoke to all the people who want me there.

“It’s complicated, but I’ve always said that I would like to retire at Barcelona. However, I know it’s difficult because the years go by and the club has the best players in the world, it is a very demanding club and to return is complicated. But I do not rule it out either.”

Pedro managed eight goals in his 30 starts last season and still has three years remaining on his contract.
