Although the name of Joao Pedro, the forward of the English football team "Chelsea", is mentioned in connection with the Spanish football club "Barcelona", the position of the London representative remains unchanged.
Idman.Biz reports that, according to insider Ben Jacobs, "Barcelona"'s interest in the Brazilian footballer is real and initial contacts have taken place between the parties. However, "Chelsea" is not preparing to sell the 24-year-old striker.
The club's position is firm and the London representative is not expected to back down regarding the transfer.
Joao Pedro moved to Chelsea from Brighton last summer and scored 20 goals in all competitions in his first season with the team. This indicator has led to him being on the agenda as one of the main candidates for Barcelona's attacking line.
