Former Barcelona winger Pedro revealed that he tried hard to convince several of his former teammates — including Lionel Messi and David De Gea — to join Lazio during his time in Italy.

After his emotional farewell match with the Italian club on Saturday, the 38-year-old Spaniard spoke about his dream of bringing world-class stars to Rome and letting them experience the incredible passion of Lazio fans. ❤️💙

An emotional goodbye to a legendary Lazio career 🏟️

Pedro officially said farewell to Lazio after playing his final match against Pisa, ending his journey with a goal that helped secure victory for the team.

In an interview with the club’s official YouTube channel, the Spanish veteran confirmed that his adventure in the Italian capital had come to an end after an unforgettable spell. During his time in Rome, Pedro played 209 matches and scored 39 goals.

Despite a difficult season in which Lazio finished ninth in Serie A and failed to qualify for European competitions, Pedro leaves with pride and unforgettable memories.

Pedro also admitted he acted as an “unofficial recruiter” for Lazio and revealed that Messi, Jordi Alba, David De Gea, Marc Bartra, and David Luiz were among the stars he tried to convince to join the club.

“I always tried. Even with Messi, although obviously it wasn’t easy,” Pedro said with a laugh. “I would have loved for them to experience the passion of our fans.” ⚽🔥

Pedro retires from Italian football with one of the most decorated careers in modern football history.

The Spanish legend won the FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro with Spain, three UEFA Champions League titles with Barcelona, five La Liga trophies, the Premier League with Chelsea, the Europa League, FA Cup, and many more historic achievements. 🏆
