This summer, Chelsea has entered the competition to acquire Newcastle United’s top transfer target, Joao Pedro.
Liam Delap has already been acquired by Chelsea from Ipswich Town following his discussions with Newcastle.
They are currently endeavouring to surpass The Magpies in terms of acquiring another attacking player, as they have expressed interest in the Brighton & Hove Albion forward.
The Telegraph reports that Newcastle are “on the brink of initiating negotiations” with Brighton regarding the acquisition of Joao Pedro, who is estimated to be worth approximately £60 million.
Joao Pedro receives an update from Fabrizio Romano.
Newcastle supporters may be inclined to interpret any information regarding Joao Pedro from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano with a grain of salt, given the events of 2022.
At that time, Romano asserted that Newcastle’s proposed £30 million transfer of Joao Pedro from Watford was imminent, coinciding with his “here we go” motto. In the event, Newcastle opted to terminate the agreement and instead signed Alexander Isak.
However, Romano has provided a new update on Joao Pedro’s situation three years later, as Chelsea has now entered the race.

The Brazilian may find the Blues’ capacity to circumvent PSR and provide high wages, as well as London living, to be more appealing than Newcastle and Chelsea’s ability to offer Champions League football this upcoming season.
Newcastle is currently in the lead in this regard, as they have already made a deal. However, the transfer market is unpredictable.
Joao Pedro has explicitly expressed his preference for transfer.
Although the concept of a player selecting a club based on the ability to reside in London rather than the North East would be laughed at by anyone who has lived or spent an extended period in Newcastle, it can frequently become a reality.
And Brighton defender Igor Julio, who is close friends with his fellow Brazilian, has asserted that Joao Pedro would “prioritise” starring in London if an offer were to come in.
Igor informed Trivela that Joao Pedro had previously communicated to Brighton his intention to depart, pursue novel opportunities, and advance to the next level.
“We must be honest; the club is aware that he communicated with the report via video call. It appears that his tenure here will be challenging and complex.”
“I advised him to consider his career objectives.” I would select a Big Six team that is consistently in contention for victory, participates in the Champions League, and competes in the Premier League.
“I would join a Liverpool team, and I believe he would be an ideal fit.” I would travel to Liverpool because I have always aspired to play for the team. He has consistently expressed his desire to reside in London; therefore, I anticipate that he will prioritise items that originate from that city.
