Joao Pedro is ready to make a move to get Chelsea to agree to negotiate with FC Barcelona during this summer transfer market.

The Brazilian forward has become one of the strongest names on Deco's list to strengthen Barcelona's attack.

The Brazilian doesn't hide his desire to play for FC Barcelona. The forward understands that the opportunity with Barcelona could be a huge leap in his career. Deco is aware of this disposition. The sports director maintains direct contact with his environment and has personally assessed the feasibility of the operation.

Barça is looking for a forward capable of replacing Robert Lewandowski without disrupting the offensive structure that Hansi Flick has built in the team. It's not just about scoring goals. The new number nine will need to link up, press, attack spaces, and enhance Lamine Yamal without questioning his hierarchy.

In that scenario, Joao Pedro is highly regarded. He has mobility, technical quality, a goal-scoring ability, and an ideal age to lead a medium-term project.

Chelsea doesn't want to lose Joao Pedro

Chelsea knows they have a differential player. His first full season as an offensive reference yielded significant numbers and a clear sense of growth. Joao Pedro ended the season with 20 goals and 9 assists, a production that explains why Stamford Bridge is not willing to let him go easily.

The London club aims to rebuild around young and competitive pieces. Therefore, selling their Brazilian forward is not part of their initial plans. Nevertheless, the player is prepared to put pressure when the time comes. His stance will be crucial if FC Barcelona decides to contact Chelsea.

The operation, in any case, will be costly. In England, there is talk of an evaluation that could range between 80 and 100 million euros.

LaLiga seduces the Brazilian forward

LaLiga appears as a very attractive destination for Joao Pedro. The Brazilian believes that his style of play may fit better in a more associative context. FC Barcelona offers a huge stage. Competing at Camp Nou, contending for titles, and playing under Flick's command represent a major challenge.

Furthermore, not making it to the 2026 World Cup with Brazil could accelerate decisions. The forward wants to feel like a protagonist and regain international focus as soon as possible. Xabi Alonso's arrival at Chelsea hasn't changed his desire. Joao Pedro continues to look towards Barcelona as his top priority.

FC Barcelona must first organize its market

The Blaugrana has not yet definitively chosen its number one target. Julián Álvarez is also on the list and generates a lot of internal interest. Deco and Flick first need to know how much financial leeway the sales operation will allow. Without significant sales, any move of this caliber will be very complex.

The Catalan club does not want to rush. Direct contact with Chelsea too early could further raise the price. That's why Barça is playing it safe. Meanwhile, the player's entourage waits for signs to activate the pressure at the right time.

Joao Pedro is eager to wear the Blaugrana colors, but the path won't be easy. If FC Barcelona takes the step, the Brazilian will push to leave Chelsea.
