Chelsea has made a definitive decision regarding the future of forward Joao Pedro. Despite significant interest from Barcelona, the London club has ruled out any potential sale of the Brazilian.
Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, is reportedly a major admirer of the 24-year-old and viewed him as a key target to strengthen the Catalan side. However, according to Fabrizio Romano, a transfer is currently impossible. Chelsea considers the player untouchable and is not prepared to engage in any negotiations, regardless of the potential transfer fee.
This stance confirms that Joao Pedro remains a central figure in Chelsea's project for the coming years. The forward enjoyed a productive previous campaign, recording 20 goals and 5 assists across 47 appearances in all competitions.
