Chelsea have agreed to sign Brighton striker João Pedro. On the 30th of last month (Korea time), the BBC said 'Chelsea agreed to recruit Pedru for a transfer fee of 60 million pounds(about 112.3 billion won). The contract period is seven years, and Pedro will move to the United States from Brazil for a medical test. The BBC said '2025 FIFA Club World Cup is also expected to be available' He could make his debut in the quarterfinals against Faumeiras on the 6th.
Pedru, who is from Sao Paulo, Brazil, made his professional debut in fluminensee (Brazil) in March 2019 and stepped on the England stage in January 2020 when he joined Watford. Pedru, who played 109 games for Watford and scored 24 goals, moved to Brighton in May 2023. Pedru, who recorded £30 million (56.1 billion won), the largest transfer fee ever for Brighton at the time, played 70 games in two seasons and scored 30 goals, showing good performance. Pedro also joined the Brazilian national team with this performance.
Chelsea have brought in four players from Brighton in the last three years with the signing of Fedru. Including promising players Jack Sturge and Sim Meuka, there are six. The amount of money spent on them is also enormous. Starting with £62 million spent on signing Marc Cucureya, in the summer of 2023 it invested £115 million in Moises Caicedo, which was the highest EPL transfer fee at the time. In a similar period, goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was brought in for £25 million. Including Pedru, it amounts to 262 million pounds. It is close to 500 billion won in our money. According to The Sun, this amount is enough to buy three Amex Stadiums, Brighton's home stadium.
This is not the only thing. Chelsea paid a £21m penalty in the summer of 2022, appointing Graham Potter, who was on the run for success at Brighton at the time. Porter and five coaching staff were also present. In December 2022, Paul Onstanley joined as sports director, and in February 2024, with Sam Jewell as global scouting general manager, there were eight staff from Brighton alone.
