Pedro's future at Lazio remains unclear. Reports from Il Messaggero indicate that Claudio Lotito had a discussion with Pedro about a potential departure last June. However, the contract was upheld because an automatic renewal was activated following his 25th appearance of the season. Al-Qadisiyah had been prepared to offer Pedro a remarkable salary, but he was reluctant to leave his girlfriend and daughters to move to Saudi Arabia. The club's decision could be swayed by his performance in the forthcoming match in the Netherlands.
