The Barcelona forward Pedro has revealed that the Spanish champions have received offers for him after agreeing to reduce the size of his buyout clause amid reports of interest from Chelsea.

A World Cup and European Championship winner with Spain, Pedro, 27, lost his place in the Barça starting lineup following the arrival of the Uruguay striker Luis Suárez last year.

The coach Luis Enrique used Pedro mainly as a substitute last season and he came on in the Champions League final to set up Neymar for the third goal in the 3-1 victory over Juventus.

Pedro’s buyout fee has been reduced to €30m (£21.4m), down from €150m, according to reports in Spain.

Pedro was quoted as saying he was in “a difficult situation” but added that he had not spoken to the Chelsea coach, José Mourinho, and was looking forward to starting pre-season training with his team-mates on Wednesday.

“It’s true, we agreed to reduce the value of the buyout clause and it’s true there are offers,” he said. “I don’t want to think about the future, I want to rest, remain calm, start pre-season on Wednesday with the squad and we will see what happens after that.”
