Barcelona sent strong message after 'exploratory' talks with Chelsea for Joao Pedro
Barcelona held exploratory talks with Chelsea about a potential summer move for Joao Pedro. Chelsea have made clear they are not prepared to sell, stating there is no price that would change their stance, even for a world-record bid. Joao Pedro has been considered as an alternative to Julian Alvarez as Barcelona search for a replacement for outgoing striker Robert Lewandowski. Pedro joined Chelsea last summer from Brighton for £60 million and has produced a strong season at Stamford Bridge, scoring 20 goals in all competitions. Xabi Alonso did not rule out an exit, but the indication remains that Barcelona will need to pursue other options.
"Although Barcelona's interest in Joao Pedro is genuine, and some exploratory talks have taken place, Chelsea are not prepared to sell. There is no price that will change the club's stance this summer, even a world-record bid."
"Barcelona have reportedly held "exploratory talks" with Chelsea over a potential summer move for Joao Pedro but have been told there is "no price" that will convince the Blues to part ways with the Brazilian."
"Pedro has emerged as an alternative to Julian Alvarez as Barcelona search for a replacement for outgoing striker Robert Lewandowski."
"New manager Xabi Alonso didn't rule out an exit for Pedro when asked about the recent speculation, but it looks like the Blues really don't want to sell and Barca will have to look elsewhere."
