However, with the prospect of no Champions League football, Wright Phillips has urged Pedro to join Barcelona if given the opportunity.
âI believe it would be fantastic for Joao if he were to go,â Wright-Phillips said as quoted by The Standard.
âPersonally, given the way Chelsea has been run, if I were him, I would do everything to complete this transfer.
âPlaying at Camp Nou, alongside Raphinha and [Lamine] Yamal, would be great for him. He would score many goals, since we have already seen what he did in a team that wasnât as good as this Chelsea team.
âIf I were Joao Pedro, I would want to play in the Champions League, and I canât see Chelsea qualifying for any European competition.
âJoao has the level and deserves to be playing in the Champions League.â
