Spanish and European Champions, FC Barcelona this Tuesday announced they have agreed to extend the contract of winger Pedro Rodriguez.
The Spainish international who is yet another product of the Barcelona youth system, has agreed a contract that will keep him at the club until the end of June 2016.
Pedro has enjoyed an incredible two seasons as a fixture in the Barcelona first team squad, scoring 23 goals in the 2009/10 season and 22 goals in the campaign which finished in May with the conquest of the Spanish and European titles.
The player, who celebrates his 24th birthday at the end of the month, arrived at the club in 2004 and progressed though the junior side into the B-team, where he worked with current first team coach, Pep Guardiola.
His first full year in the Barca first team saw him score a goal in every possible competition as Barcelona won six trophies in the calendar year and he was rewarded with a place in the Spain's squad which won the World Cup in South Africa 2010.
Meanwhile Bojan Krkic has admitted that he thinks he will have to leave Barcelona this summer. The Spain Under-21 international has seen his progress stalled by Pedro's form and looks likely to join Roma.
