Chelsea forward Pedro 'has many offers' as he waits for Frank Lampard contract meeting

Chelsea forward Pedro says he has "many offers" but is waiting to speak to the club about his future beyond the end of the season.

Pedro, along with Willian, is facing the end of the contract when the season concludes, and has been able to speak to foreign clubs since January.

Real Betis have been touted as one possible destination for the former Barcelona man, but Pedro says the coronavirus outbreak as added further uncertainty to the situation.

"I have to talk to the club, I have a contract until June 30th," he told El Larguero radio station." I'm open to hearing other offers. I don't know [about Real Betis interest], a meeting with Chelsea is pending.

"The coronavirus situation affected everything, so at the moment we are waiting for a meeting with Chelsea.'

"I know that the contract is concluding, but we have not yet sat down to discuss whether to renew and continue here or not. I’m waiting for the meeting with the club, but am also open to listening to other offers.

'The priority right now is completing my contract, then we’ll see what happens. I have offers from many places and I’ll evaluate what to do next.

"The truth is, I don’t know what’s going to happen."
