Pedro was about to fichar by the Arsenal

As it has published in the last hours "MD", Pedro Rodríguez would have been ready at the beginning of this past summer, just when it finished the season 2013-14, of fichar by the Arsenal of Arsène Wenger. The Catalan newspaper ensures that the Canarian felt "ninguneado" by Gerardo Martino, that used along the course more to Alexis Sánchez that to him, what when seeming did him speak with his surroundings, so much familiar like representatives, to try look for a solution. They arrived then offers of the Premier League and one of the Series To, but the Tenerifean decided to remain when it knew that Martino left the charge in favour of Luis Enrique.

Finally it was Alexis Sánchez the one who fichó by the Arsenal, days after Andoni Zubizarreta affirmed in press conference that Pedro was "untransferable", what gave him the sufficient confidence as to remain . Besides, "MD" stands out the existence of a telephone call of Luis Enrique in which the Asturian finish to convince to Pedro that if it remained would be an important player. The Canarian is still in the Barça. But the true is that this season the things are not him going out very -again- although it has played seven of the nine official parties up to now. 

It seems that it was not on the terrain of game, no longer is decisive in the one against one and hardly generates occasions ofgoal , what has cost him innumerable critical by part of some sectors of the fans culé. The player works to tope in the trainings and is possible that expand his agreement with the FC Barcelona this season -finishes agreement in 2016- but this already will depend on what decide the sportive direction of Andoni Zubizarreta. In any case, will have to improve a lot his performance if it wishes to remain on a long-term basis in the Barcelona club.
