Barcelona Eyeing Expensive Striker

Barcelona are eyeing an expensive striker as they look to bolster their squad for next season. With Chelsea's chances of securing a Champions League spot dwindling, several key players are expected to leave the London club.

Notably, Chelsea's Brazilian striker Joao Pedro has emerged as a potential target for Barcelona. According to Fichajes, the Catalan club are seriously interested in signing the forward and are expected to make a move for him in the summer transfer window.

Joao Pedro joined Chelsea from Brighton in the summer of 2025 for a fee of €63 million. His contract with the Blues runs until June 30, 2033.

This season, the forward has made 46 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions, scoring 19 goals and providing nine assists.

Transfermarkt values the striker at €75 million.
