Chelsea are showing interest in Brazilian star ahead of summer window. The player has been superb in Premier League this season. The Blues are joined by 3 other English clubs in the race.
The star in question here is Joao Pedro of Brighton & Hove Albion. He is 23 years old Brazilian striker who joined the Seagulls in summer 2023. Since then, he has scored 30 goals and picked 10 assists in 70 games for Brighton.
Chelsea are in desperate need to sign a new striker this summer. Nicolas Jackson had a great start to this season. But, he has failed to stay consistent. As a result, Enzo Maresca has asked the board to sign another striker.
Chelsea are showing interest in Joao Pedro. Brighton are very happy with the Brazilian but it may prove them hard to reject the interest from top clubs. But, they will surely demand a hefty fee which they have always done for top talents.
Chelsea joined by 3 others in race for Joao Pedro
Chelsea are joined by 3 other Premier League clubs in race for Pedro. According to Caught Offside, they are joined by Aston Villa, Liverpool and Newcastle United. The report further stated that that Seagulls will demand around €60 million for the Brazilian striker.
Aston Villa are also in need of a new striker this summer. They already sold Jhon Duran to Al-Nassr in January. Now, they are said to have made Ollie Watkins available in the market. Unai Emery will make a new striker his top priority this summer.
On the other hand, Liverpool are set to part ways with Darwin Nunez. In addition, they can also move-on from Diogo Jota. The Reds want a proven goal-scorer but Pedro can also do a job for them as he has experience in Premier League.
Lastly, Newcastle United have one of the best strikers in the world – Isak right now. But, the Sweden international is heavily linked with exit. As a result, the club is keeping open eye on available strikers in the summer market.
