😱 Pedro announces he’ll leave Lazio at the end of the season | OneFootball

Spanish footballer Pedro Rodríguez has stirred the waters of Calcio and the capital club by confirming his departure from Lazio at the end of the current season. After the match played yesterday against Pisa, the Tenerife winger opened up about his future, leaving a clear and emotional message to the 'biancoceleste' fans and his teammates. Although his farewell saddens the supporters, Pedro has made it clear that his ultimate goal is to ensure his departure is with honors and with Lazio back on the continental stage.

The statement was concise but forceful. "I always want to help the team. Surely, this will be my last year at Lazio. But I want to leave the team where it deserves to be, in Europe", stated the world champion. These words not only confirm the rumors about the end of his stint in Rome but also set an ambitious goal for the final stretch of the campaign. Pedro, despite his age, is committed to giving his all so that Lazio secures its ticket to a European competition, a challenge that adds an extra dose of epic to the remaining months.

The former Barcelona and Chelsea player joined Lazio in 2021, making an unusual but highly publicized transfer from eternal rival Roma. Since then, his experience and quality have been a fundamental pillar in the locker room, guiding the younger players and providing crucial goals and assists. His impact goes beyond statistics, serving as an example of daily dedication. Therefore, his announcement marks a turning point, forcing the club to start planning for the next season without one of its most experienced figures.

Pending the final destination of the player, who might be considering either a new experience or definitive retirement, Pedro's focus is solely on Lazio's immediate results. The locker room welcomes these statements as further motivation, a call to shared responsibility. The "last dance" of a figure of his caliber at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome becomes an incentive for the team to elevate their performance and fulfill their teammate's wish: to return the team to a position of continental prestige.

Thus, the final stretch of the season becomes an emotional countdown to Pedro's farewell. Now he has the opportunity to leave on a high note, helping the club secure that European spot he considers "deserved." Lazio's 'tifosi' are already preparing to pay the tribute he deserves.
