Luis Suarez has called on his Barcelona teammate Pedro to stay at the club, despite the Spaniard being heavily linked with a move away from the Camp Nou.
The 27-year-old has struggled to hold down a place in the first team over the last few seasons, and the forward faces a difficult task of trying to dislodge either Suarez, Neymar or Lionel Messi from the lineup.
Manchester United and Chelsea have been touted as potential destinations for Pedro, but Suarez is hopeful that his teammate will stay put.
"Pedro's thing is an individual decision," Suarez told Marca. "He's had many years at the club, he has won many titles and his decision will be respected, but as a teammate, obviously, I want Pedro to stay because of the importance that he has on a group level."
Pedro is said to have a £22m release clause in his contract.
