Chelsea forward tempted by Barcelona move – has already spoken to Blaugrana star

Barcelona are working on signing a new striker this summer, as they prepare to part ways with Robert Lewandowski. Julian Alvarez remains their leading target, but given that Atletico Madrid are showing no signs of opening the door to a possible transfer, sporting director Deco has started to seriously consider other options – and one of those is Joao Pedro.

Last month, Pedro emerged as a possible option for Barcelona in the event of a deal for Alvarez being impossible, and as the weeks have gone by, his stock within Can Barca has gradually risen. He’s now seen as one of the leading alternatives to the Atleti striker, and soon, talks could begin with his representatives.

When that time comes, Barcelona will be made aware of Pedro’s openness to a move to the Spotify Camp Nou. But according to Simon Phillips (via CaughtOffside), the Brazil international is increasingly open to the idea of continuing his career at the reigning La Liga champions.
