Is There a Role for Pedro in Antonio Conte's Chelsea Side?

We're expecting casualties of Antonio Conte's new Chelsea regime this summer, and Pedro may well be one of the highest-profile.

It was only June when the Spaniard spoke of a desire to leave Chelsea. Pedro told beIN Sports (h/t Simon Johnson of the Evening Standard) he wanted a return to former club Barcelona.

"Hopefully [I can return to Barcelona] but I know it's hard," Pedro said. "[...] I have already spoken about it with the president. ... It's complicated, but I've always said that I would like to retire at Barcelona.
