"Barcelona have all but given up on their pursuit of Julian Alvarez as a long-term replacement for striker Robert Lewandowski. The Argentina international is very happy and settled in Madrid and has no wish to leave."
"Barcelona now consider Chelsea's Joao Pedro as their primary target for the role. Pedro has been a rare bright spot for Chelsea, with 28 goal contributions in 46 appearances across all competitions."
"Chelsea's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League next season are practically gone, sitting in eighth place, with 10 points separating them from Liverpool in fourth."
"With no less than seven years remaining on his contract, Chelsea hold all the cards and certainly won't sell cheap."
Barcelona has largely abandoned their pursuit of Julian Alvarez, who is content in Madrid and is set to receive a new contract from Atletico. Consequently, Barcelona is now targeting Chelsea's Joao Pedro as their main option for a striker. Pedro has had a standout season with 28 goal contributions despite Chelsea's struggles. Although Pedro may be open to a move to Barcelona, Chelsea's strong position with seven years left on his contract means they are unlikely to sell him cheaply.
