Pedro leaving Lazio?
Pedro, the former Barcelona player, is 37 years old and his contract with Lazio ends in June. Claudio Lotito, the president of Lazio, mentioned that they would discuss Pedro's future at the end of the season, considering his expectations for life beyond football. Lotito did not rule out the possibility of Pedro's retirement.
Pedro is in the final phase of his career and his continuation with Lazio is uncertain. Last summer, he signed a new contract with Lazio after his previous one expired.
The president of Lazio, Lotito, mentioned that if Pedro wants to renew his contract, they will evaluate it together. Pedro's contract expires at the end of the season.
Pedro is expected to leave Lazio in the next summer as part of the club's plan to reduce the wage bill and rejuvenate the squad.
Pedro has been out of technical choices for a long time but was included in the Europa list just in case.
Pedro is likely to be excluded from Lazio's UEFA Europa League squad due to his age and inability to play continuously in frequent matches. This season is expected to be his last with Lazio.
Pedro is likely to be excluded from the list for the next few months despite the possibility of new signings in the next ten hours. He is out of the plans of coach Marco Baroni.
Lazio is attempting to sell Pedro, who earns 2 million. If he remains, he will be cut from the squad list for the league and European competitions. Pedro has already stated that he will leave at the end of his contract in June.
Pedro could be sold to make room for possible arrivals like Folorunsho or Cherki.
Pedro may be left out of the Europa League squad to make room for Tchaouna, who has to be registered in the main squad. This could lead to a potential consensual separation from the club.
Pedro is at risk of being cut from the Lazio squad due to squad size constraints. The final decision is pending a meeting in the next few days. Coach Marco Baroni has some reservations about potentially selling him due to his experience and stature.
Pedro's playing time has significantly reduced due to new arrivals. At 37 years old, discussions between the club and the player about future prospects are not ruled out before the end of the month.
Pedro was supposed to renew his contract at the age of 36. There was no mention from the club or the coach about Pedro not renewing.
Pedro has one year left on his contract with Lazio, but his future is uncertain. Lotito, with his words to Messaggero, seems to have secured him for the next season. However, rumors from the Middle East suggest otherwise. In recent days, Al-Qadsiah, a club based in Al Khobar on the eastern coast of Saudi Arabia and competing in the Saudi Pro League, has shown interest in the Spanish champion. Pedro could be the third star the club's owners acquire this summer, following Icardi and Morata. Pedro has indicated his desire to honor his contract with Lazio, which was automatically renewed for another season last January due to a clause related to appearances. An extraordinary offer from Saudi Arabia could change his mind, even compared to the possibility of returning to play at home in the Canary Islands. His future will be decided in the coming weeks.
Pedro has decided to leave Lazio this summer. He has already communicated this to Lotito in a private conversation a few days ago. He will officially meet with the club by mid-June to find an agreement for the termination of the contract. He was expected to be tied to Lazio until June 30, 2025, because an automatic renewal was triggered by the agreement he found last summer. He is likely to return to his home in the Canary Islands to end his career there.
