Roma have begun talks with Chelsea winger Pedro, who is out of contract at the end of the season and expected to leave the club.
The 32 year old Spaniard moved to Stamford Bridge from Barcelona in 2015 and, during his time in West London, has won the Premier League, FA Cup and the Europa League. However, he has found first team starts harder to come by since Frank Lampard took charge of the club, and had made nine Premier League appearances this season until the suspension of football.
Roma were previously linked with a move for him in January, and are prepared to offer him €3 million (£2.6 million) to move to the Serie A side.
Known for his hard work, Pedro has been a serial winner throughout his career. He won both the World Cup and European Championship with Spain, and, during his time at Barcelona, he won three Champions League and four La Liga titles.

He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
