Barcelona may be fighting a losing battle when it comes to keeping hold of Pedro Rodriguez as the club's secretary Robert Fernandez has admitted the forward wants to leave.

Pedro fired Barcelona to a thrilling 5-4 victory over Sevilla in this evening's UEFA Super Cup final, scoring the winning goal in extra-time in what Fernandez concedes could be his final match for the club.




Fernandez explained to Esport 3: "Pedro has told me he wants to leave.

"The buy-out clause in Pedro's contract is not negotiable, but this [the UEFA Super Cup] could be his final game", he added, referencing the €30m release clause in the forward's contract.
 

 

Pedro has been strongly linked with Louis van Gaal's Manchester United, who are looking to replace the departed Angel di Maria.
