"Barcelona" is paying attention to Chelsea striker Joao Pedro due to difficulties in completing the transfer of Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez.
Idman.Biz reports this with reference to Mundo Deportivo.
According to the source, the "blaugrana" contacted the representatives and agency of the Brazilian player. A potential transfer could cost "Barcelona" 70 million euros, which is cheaper than Alvarez's transfer fee. The Catalan club will increase its efforts to acquire Pedro if "Chelsea" fails to qualify for European competitions.
This season, the Chelsea striker has made 48 appearances in all competitions, scoring 20 goals and providing nine assists. His current contract with the club runs until the summer of 2033. According to Transfermarkt, the player's market value is 75 million euros.
