Pedro who joined Roma in 2020 and signed a 3-year deal seems not to be needed by Roma new coach Jose Mourinho.  It was reported that Mourinho omitted him from his preseason squad list. However, he will be reuniting with his former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri, who now coaches Lazio.

The 34-year-old 2010 world cup winner, who made 40 appearances for Roma scoring six goals, will be wearing the number 9 jersey at Lazio.

Pedro is arguable one of the most successful players in recent times, having won 20 major trophies at Barcelona, including five LaLiga titles and the Champions League three times, while he also won the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League at Chelsea. He also has a world cup trophy and the Euro2012 trophy to his list.
