Will any of these teams sign Joao Pedro?
Despite the Telegraph’s report, it doesn’t seem like any of the aforementioned teams are prioritizing a move for Pedro at this point. While the three clubs will most likely be in the market for striking reinforcements when the summer window opens, they are all expected to prioritize moves for more proven candidates.
Arsenal have consistently been linked with names like Alexander Isak, Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres. Isak is also reportedly attracting interest from Liverpool. Meanwhile, Chelsea have been linked with Sesko as well, along with Liam Delap and Victor Osimhen.
Joao Pedro’s price tag
Regardless of the suitor, any club hoping to sign Pedro will have to pay a premium. According to The Telegraph, Brighton are set to demand a fee that “far exceeds” the £30 million they paid Watford for the exciting Brazilian in 2023.
