Chelsea close out João Pedro with £60m transfer fee
[London (UK) = Egan Sports Chosun.COM reporter] Chelsea has virtually completed recruiting Brighton striker João Pedru (23). The transfer fee amounts to up to 60 million pounds (about 103 billion won). Pedru will sign a seven-year contract.

According to multiple media outlets in the UK, Chelsea have completed personal negotiations with the player as well as an agreement between the clubs with Brighton. Brighton is also said to have included a Celon clause that would allow them to receive a portion of their profits in future transfers.

Pedro, a former Brazilian national team member, is currently traveling from Brazil to the United States. He will undergo a medical test locally to join Chelsea's Club World Cup squad. The player registration period for this Club World Cup is from June 27 to July 3, and new players can be registered in the middle of the tournament.




As a result, Pedru is likely to make his Chelsea debut against Palmeiras in the Club World Cup quarterfinals in Philadelphia on June 29 (local time). The match kicks off at 2am UK time on Saturday 29 June.

Pedru is a multi-resource that can play not only the central striker but also the side, and is expected to be a great help to Chelsea's offense.

Meanwhile, Pedru's former side Watford will receive 20 per cent of Brighton's profits from the move. This is because Brighton acquired Pedru for around £35m back in the summer of 2023.
