Barcelona showing serious interest in €75m-rated Chelsea forward – report

The summer planning at Barcelona is already gathering pace, and one name that has now entered the conversation is Joao Pedro, currently plying his trade at Chelsea.

According to recent reports from Fichajes, the Brazilian forward has emerged as a serious option for Barcelona as they continue to look for options to reinforce their attacking line.

It is known that Barcelona are actively looking for a striker who can deliver immediately while also fitting into a longer-term project in the post-Lewandowski era.

The club’s recruitment strategy focuses on building a balanced attack that can evolve over the coming seasons.

Joao Pedro fits that profile in many ways.

Having a strong season

With 19 goals and nine assists across all competitions, he has proven himself to be more than just a traditional striker.

He is involved in build-up play, capable of creating chances, and comfortable taking responsibility in decisive moments.

That versatility is something Barcelona value highly, especially given their fluid attacking system.

From a tactical standpoint, his ability to adapt to different roles across the frontline makes him an attractive proposition. Whether operating centrally or drifting into wider areas, Pedro offers flexibility.
