The Blues signed Pedro last summer in a deal worth up to £60m from Brighton, and he’s had a successful first season at Stamford Bridge.

The Brazil international made an immediate impact at the Club World Cup scoring in the both the semi final and final, whilst he’s scored 20 goals in all competitions this season.

Barcelona really like Joao Pedro

Pedro has scored 15 Premier League goals, and is one of the only players to have performed in what’s been another difficult season.

The Brazilian will surely be named Chelsea’s player of the season, and he’s easily fought off competition from Liam Delap to make the number nine position his own.

Although it counted for little, Pedro scored a brilliant bicycle kick in the defeat to Nottingham Forest, and his form hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Barcelona reportedly hold interest in Pedro as they search for a Robert Lewandowski replacement, and Romano has provided an update.

“João Pedro is very important to Chelsea, they won’t want to sell him to FC Barcelona,” he told his YouTube channel.

“Barcelona really like João Pedro, they consider him as a fantastic striker.

“But Chelsea are absolutely considering João Pedro as a crucial part of the project.

“After a difficult season, to sell probably the only player who performed in a top, top way, like Joe Pedro will be complicated.”

However, despite their interest Chelsea have reportedly made it very clear Pedro isn’t for sale this summer.
