Barcelona: 'No Man Utd bid for Pedro'

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has revealed that the club have not received any bids for Pedro, despite the Spaniard being heavily linked with a switch to Manchester United.

The Premier League giants are reported to have agreed to pay the forward's £22m release clause, and the player himself is said to have told friends and family that he will join Old Trafford in the next few weeks.

However, Bartomeu has insisted that he does not expect the Catalan side's squad to change during the rest of the transfer window.

"The team is what it is," Goal.com quotes Bartomeu as saying. "It has been put together. We have the team that our coach wanted - it's done and completed.

"We don't foresee any departures from the team. I've read many things about a Pedro departure, but no one has officially addressed our club. Our squad is complete."

Pedro had limited first-team minutes last season due to the prolific form of Luis Suarez, Neymar and Lionel Messi.
