The striker has been struggling to secure regular first-team action at Barcelona, and he has been linked with potential moves to Arsenal and Liverpool as well as Premier League champions Chelsea.
The 27-year-old has recently admitted Barcelona have agreed to lower his buy-out clause.
But despite his struggles, Cruyff believes Pedro is valuable to Barcelona.
"He has always been in difficult moments, but if you see the goals that he scores, he's a guy who works so hard and for that reason he has a lot of value to Barcelona," said Cruyff.

"In addition, he came through with Guardiola and he's home-grown.
"Previously, many players were promoted from La Masia and if there was a need to sign, they would sign.
"Now they only buy. You're either a club that creates or a club that buys."
