Liverpool ‘ready to sign Pedro in transfer window’

Liverpool are reportedly lining up the £18million transfer of Barcelona’s Pedro.

Despite the attacking midfielder signing a new contract at the Nou Camp earlier this month, Brendan Rodgers is persisting in trying to sign him, according to reports in Spain.

Pedro, 27, came through Barca’s academy and has made over 200 appearances for the Catalan giants since making his debut in 2008, but could be tempted away.

Barcelona would consider selling the Spain international for £18m – Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are also thought to be chasing his signature.
