Alves: Pedro should have stayed at Barcelona

Barcelona right-back Dani Alves has this week had his say on Pedro’s summer move to Chelsea, claiming that he should’ve stayed in Spain with Barcelona according to the Express.

Just last week Pedro mentioned to the Express that he is happy and doesn’t regret his move to the Premier League champions, but Alves think’s differently.

Had he stayed he would have been happy here but we don’t make the decisions. If we did I would want him to stay for years.

Despite not featuring much in the Barcelona side with the likes of Neymar and Lionel Messi getting games ahead of him, it only seemed logical to move away from the club he’d spent so long with.

But Alves thinks he would’ve been better off staying:

I told Pedro he should have stayed at the team but too many people got involved.

Along with fellow Chelsea players Cesar Azpilicueta and Cesc Fabregas, Pedro will be hoping to feature for Spain tomorrow night away in Ukraine despite already having qualified for next summer’s European Championships.

matchday.
