Arsenal have been on alert as Barcelona have put a €21million price tag on their attacker Pedro, as per Daily Mirror.
Arsenal have been in strong links with Barcelona for Pedro over the past few months, however, they were not in mood to sell him but now they have slammed €21million (£15million) tag on their Spanish star.
Arsenal will have to fight Liverpool to secure his deal as the Reds manager Brendan Rodgers is keen to bolster his squad for next season,
Pedro will surely be eyeing a Champions League club and if Liverpool fail to qualify this season then he would definitely cut them out of the list.
The 27-year-old has fallen out of favour this season after the arrival of Luis Suarez from Liverpool last summer. He has started on 12 La Liga games so far this term. Barca don’t need Pedro as Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar are enough to take them to a desired level.
The Spanish attacker who has won Champions League and La Liga tiles is also keen to look for a new challenge after frustrating times on the bench.
Pedro is currently spending his eight season at Barca. He has scored 97 goals in 305 appearances since his debut in 2007-2008 season.
