Chelsea’s Brazilian striker Joao Pedro wants to move to Barcelona in the summer transfer window.
According to newspaper Diario Sport , Joao Pedro is determined to force a move away from Chelsea in favour of a move to Barcelona.
Barca sporting director Deco recently made another trip to London to meet with the Brazilian striker’s entourage and speed up a potential deal.
Pedro, who was recently left out of Brazil’s World Cup squad, is ready to leave the Blues, despite the appointment of Xabi Alonso as the new coach.

The 24-year-old, who has scored 20 goals and provided nine assists in an otherwise lacklustre 25/26 season for the Blues, has been earmarked as Barca’s preferred player to succeed Robert Lewandowski.
The player’s price is estimated to be 75 million euros, but it is likely that Chelsea will ask for more to allow his departure.
