Chelsea Struggles Could Push Joao Pedro to Barcelona According to Former Star

Chelsea’s Struggles Could Push Joao Pedro Towards Barcelona Move

Chelsea’s ongoing battle to secure a top-six finish this season has led to fresh uncertainty surrounding the future of star player Joao Pedro. Despite a glimmer of hope that Chelsea could leapfrog Brentford, Bournemouth and Brighton to qualify for Europe, the likelihood of the Blues earning a spot in next season’s Champions League remains slim.

Chelsea’s Champions League Miss Could Cost Them Big

With six consecutive Premier League defeats, Chelsea are facing the grim reality of another season without Champions League football. Even a potential finish in sixth place requires a combination of their own results and outside help from other clubs. While not entirely ruled out, Chelsea’s failure to secure a spot at Europe’s elite competition is a growing concern for several players, and Joao Pedro could be one of the first to seek pastures new.

Joao Pedro’s Departure Talk Gains Momentum

Given Chelsea’s shaky form and the looming managerial change following the sacking of Liam Rosenior, the club faces yet another summer of transition. Joao Pedro, who was brought in for £60million from Brighton only last summer, has reportedly caught the eye of Barcelona. Shaun Wright-Phillips, a former Chelsea player, has urged the Brazilian to make the move.
