Pedro's Barcelona return 'almost impossible'

Chelsea forward Pedro has all but ruled out a return to Barcelona this summer.

Last week the 28-year-old revealed he wanted to return to Barcelona, and even claimed he had already spoken to the Catalan club's president Josep Maria Bartomeu over a possible move.

However Pedro, who is currently on international duty with Spain at Euro 2016, has revealed that he doesn't expect the move to go through, having only been at Stamford Bridge for one season.

"If you ask me if I'd go back, the answer is clear because they're a great club with great players and fans who appreciate me. I've always said that I'd like to retire at Barca, but I know it's very difficult, almost impossible," he told RAC1.

"Admittedly it seemed like I was going back this summer, but I have a contract with Chelsea, I've only been there for a year and it'd be very difficult for [a return] to happen."
