Joao Pedro is a reported target for Barcelona after Robert Lewandowski’s departure. He says he has experience in a role similar to Lewandowski for club and country and describes his style as involving freedom to move between positions. He explains that when he does not have the ball, he still moves to create scoring chances, change the game, and support the team. He also comments on playing alongside or against Lionel Messi, describing Messi as dangerous in the box and noting how teammates support him. Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing Pedro, while Chelsea are reluctant to sell after his strong debut season at Stamford Bridge.
"“I used to play as a number 10, I like freedom, but I can help the team in different positions. I play similarly to Harry Kane, Lewandowski, Agüero," he said on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast”"
"“If I don't get the ball, I have the freedom to move. If I don't have the ball, I move because I need to have the ball to score, change the game, and help the team."”"
"“I played a match against him once in Morocco. I thought, 'We have to be careful with him; if he has the ball in the box, we're in trouble,'" he added.”"
"“De Paul and Enzo just supported him; it was something magical. The players make things easier for him; he's different, he's magical. He's not something special, he's not strong, but he plays like no one else. He's top-class, different. It's hard to explain."”"
