Chelsea make Joao Pedro transfer decision

Chelsea have already made their transfer decision on Joao Pedro amid interest from Barcelona.

The Brazilian signed for the Blues from Brighton & Hove Albion last summer and has been their best performer with 19 goals across all competitions.

His form has grabbed the eye of the Blaugrana and it has been claimed that they want him as a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski.

Chelsea made a huge outlay of around 60 million pounds to land the former Watford man and it has been claimed that they could sell for a profit.

However, the Blues' hierarchy are quite clear that they won't entertain his exit after a solitary season and plan to keep him for the long term.

The same has been informed to the player's representative so that Barcelona can explore alternative options to bolster their strike force this summer.

While Pedro looks poised to stay with the Blues, midfielder Enzo Fernandez could yet be sold with interest from Real Madrid.
