Chelsea have confirmed that Joao Pedro has signed a new long-term contract until 2034. The Blues paid roughly £60million to sign him from Brighton and he was extremely impressive during his debut campaign which has resulted in fresh terms being agreed.
"It's a pleasure to play for Chelsea," he stated in the announcement video. "I feel at home, I'm very excited to be here. Last season was great and I think this season we can achieve more in the Premier League and it's the right time to extend my stay here."
Speaking specifically on his new contract, as quoted by Chelsea, he said: "I am very happy to sign a new contract with Chelsea. I always dreamed of playing for a big club, and it means a lot to me to give my long-term commitment to this club. Chelsea has a long tradition of winning and it has big ambitions for the future.’
"I have a very good relationship with everyone here at the club and I have felt at home here in London from the moment that I joined.
"Everyone is very excited for this season. We know we can achieve a lot of things, we have a great team, we have a coach who wants to win and has won already. I am fully committed, everyone is ready and hopefully we can achieve our targets."
Pedro signed an eight-year contract upon joining in July 2025 which suggests a significant pay rise has been included in his new deal.
The Brazilian looks set for a big role under new manager Xabi Alonso having already scored seven goals in pre-season.
