Barcelona Eyes Chelsea Star as Replacement for Lewandowski

Barcelona is looking to sign Chelsea striker Joao Pedro as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, after realizing that signing Julian Alvarez from Atletico is unlikely due to high costs.

Chelsea striker Joao Pedro is being linked with a move to Barcelona. The Catalan club's management understands that signing Julian Alvarez from Atletico is almost impossible due to the high cost. According to Marca, Barcelona's top priority is Joao Pedro, who would replace Robert Lewandowski, whose contract expires soon and will leave as a free agent.

Signing Pedro would not be cheap either: the Brazilian player joined Chelsea last summer and signed a contract until 2033, with his market value estimated at 75 million euros by Transfermarkt.
