Pedro Rodríguez transfers to Chelsea

Pedro Rodríguez traveled to England, underwent a medical examination and in the next few hours, he will be signing for Chelsea. Considering the imminent departure of the forward, what will Barcelona do since they cannot sign players to play before January 2016 due to a FIFA sanction?

Barcelona's plan without Pedro Rodríguez

Although it is true that Barcelona recently signed Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal, they will not be able to count on them until the mentioned date. Spanish media reports that Barcelona does not intend to repeat the same operation with a possible replacement for Pedro Rodríguez. In other words, the 28-year-old player will not have an immediate substitute in the squad.

Waiting for Arda Turan

With Turkish player Arda Turan already in Barcelona's ranks, the board will wait for the former Atlético de Madrid player. Additionally, the team's performance will be evaluated until the end of the year to determine if a new reinforcement is needed in the winter transfer market in Europe.

Possible replacements: Munir El Haddadi and Sandro Ramírez

Without Pedro Rodríguez in Barcelona, the names of Munir El Haddadi and Sandro Ramírez appear. These two young talents are asking for more opportunities in the first team, which will undoubtedly be granted by coach Luis Enrique. Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Luis Suárez will be the starters, but the coach already has his substitutes on the bench.
