Off all the emotional conversations he had over the summer, Pedro particularly remembers one he held with Andrés Iniesta.

"I think the most important one was one I had with Andrés when it looked as though I wasn't leaving. I explained my situation, which was complicated and called for patience. He understood and did his best to tell the club that, if I wasn't happy, it should do everything in its power to help me leave. He behaved like the great captain and teammates he is. That touched me", the striker told MARCA.

He also spoke to Iniesta, a close friend and teammate for both club and country, as soon as it became clear he was finally on his way out of Barcelona.

"The player I spoke with most was first-team captain Iniesta. He understood my situation. I told my closest teammates, like Andrés, Jordi Alba or Busquets, what I was thinking. They understood my position", said Pedro. He also mentioned his teammate Xavi : "He called me to congratulate me when the deal went through".
