Top Barcelona source: Deco in London advancing operation to sign Chelsea star | OneFootball

When top Barcelona source Gerard Romero begins speaking on a transfer related to the Catalan side, then it usually ends up developing.

We’re literally writing a new story on Joao Pedro to Barcelona every day at the moment, and that noise is not dying down any time soon. If anything, the noise is only getting louder.

The saving grace for Chelsea fans is that Pedro has a long contract at Chelsea, and all the noise suggests that the Blues will not sell him at any price, therefore it’s story over before it even starts.

But on the other side of this, there is no smoke without fire, and if Pedro decides to physically push for a move, will Chelsea change their stance?
