Barcelona striker Pedro may well be in Brazil this summer helping Spain to defend their title as world Champions, but the 26-year-old faces an uncertain future at Barcelona upon his return after the Catalan giants appointed Luis Enrique as their new manager according to the Daily Mail.

During his first press conference Enrique let it be known that it will not be business as usual at the Nou Camp, and that he was there to oversee major changes saying: ‘The players must know that you cannot let a year pass at Barca. If they are not at the level required then there will be changes.

‘We will reinforce the team in the best way possible, to be as competitive as possible. There is a market there – teams ask a lot of money for players. You must manage it all. We will reinforce, maybe in all lines of the team, to have the best players for the club and for me.

‘I do not want to talk too much about individuals. Good and important players will stay. We will look at everyone and then see what we do. We do not have to make decisions now. We have time.’

Pedro has never played for any other club other than Barcelona, but his ability to play in all three forward positions would certainly fit in with Rodgers style of play.

Following on from Liverpool’s 4-0 win over Shamrock Rovers the Kop boss said: ‘Our criteria that we look for is players with strong technique and football intelligence.

‘You’ll get some players who are specialists and who need to play in particular positions, but if we can get players in who are multi-functional, and can play in different roles and are multi-dimensional in their work, it sets us up and gives me more options as a coach.’

Liverpool will be eager to get a deal done before the World Cup fearful that should he play well for La Roja his value will increase.
