Sergio Busquets admits that his friend Pedro could be forced to leave Barcelona in order to play first team football, with Manchester United reportedly interested in his services.
First team opportunities for the 27-year-old forward appear limited at the Nou Camp where Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez led the Catalan giants to the Champions League and La Liga titles last season.
Pedro has been linked with a move to Old Trafford following the departures of Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao in recent weeks.
And Busquets said at a press conference in San Francisco: "I have spoken with Pedro.
"I think that as a team-mate and friend, I would like him to stay for a long time but I understand that he has doubts.
He wants to play but there is a lot of competition.
"He wants to play but there is a lot of competition. In our team we have the best players and it's very difficult.
"I hope he stays but the decision is his."
Pedro joined Barcelona's youth team as a 17-year-old and went on to win La Liga five times and the Champions League on three occasions.
