"?Despite only arriving at Stamford Bridge last summer, Chelsea forward Pedro has hinted at a return to former club Barcelona after speaking to their president.
The Spanish forward signed for Chelsea in August 2015 and went on to make 40 appearances for the Blues, managing to score on eight of those occasions. However, the 28-year-old has, according to "?beIN Sports, revealed he has spoken to Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu about the possibility of a return to the Catalan giants.

The Spanish international, currently at the European Championships, claims that he has had contact with the Barcelona president along with several players and friends at the Camp Nou.
Pedro, who cost the Blues £21m, is keen to end his career at the club he had previously been with for the whole of his career, before an under performing initial season with Chelsea.
He said: ''Hopefully I can return to Barcelona, I know it's difficult, I spoke with the president when we saw each other at the Cup final and I also spoke with all the people who love me there.
"It's complicated, but I've always said I would like to retire at Barca."
Despite the fact the Spanish star is keen on a move, he understands that a return to his former club isn't a guarantee.
It is, however, the club he desires to hang up his boots at after spending such a long time there and being somewhere he feels valued: "Barca have some of the best players in the world, it's a very demanding club and coming back is complicated, but I can't rule it out.''
"I spent 11 or 12 years in Barcelona, my family are there and a lot of my friends, as well. The fans love me a lot, I felt valued by the club.''
