João Pedro Joins Chelsea on a 7-Year Contract

Chelsea has signed João Pedro from Brighton for up to £60 million. The Brazilian striker has agreed to a seven-year deal until June 2032.

According to a previous report, the transfer includes an initial fee of £55 million with potential add-ons of £5 million. Pedro will join Chelsea‘s team for the Club World Cup, which is happening now.

WHAT HAPPENED?

João Pedro chose Chelsea over Newcastle. He has passed his medical check and is ready to play for Chelsea in the Club World Cup.

According to a previous report, the deal agreed upon involves a £55 million initial fee with an additional £5 million in potential add-ons. Their next match is against Palmeiras.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Chelsea is rebuilding their attack. Last season, Pedro scored 16 goals and provided 4 assists for Brighton. As confirmed by a previous report, his arrival, along with Liam Delap and possibly Jamie Gittens, could mean Christopher Nkunku will leave. Nkunku wanted to join Bayern Munich earlier this year.

WHAT NEXT?

Chelsea plays Palmeiras in the Club World Cup quarterfinals. Pedro is eligible to play, and he could make his debut in this important match.

According to a previous report, the team is also looking at other signings, including a West Ham player. These moves aim to strengthen Chelsea for both local and international tournaments.
