The 27 year old Spanish international is set to leave the Nou Camp on January after seeing his first team chances limited under new boss Luis Enrique, not least as Luis Suarez has now returned from his four month ban, and a move to the Premier League could well tempt the Tenerife born star.
Brendan Rodgers is ready to offer more than Arsenal for Pedro, with Barcelona said to want around £25m for the long serving player, as he looks to beef up his faltering Liverpool attack.
Liverpool summer signings Rickie Lambert and Mario Balotelli have both failed to make an impact, neither having netted a Premier League goal this term, and Pedro is a versatile option who can provide real quality in both central of wide attacking options.
Pedro managed a career high 15 La Liga goals last term but has started five of Barcelona’s nine domestic league fixtures this term and was subbed on four occasions.
