Barcelona chief Deco ‘loves’ Chelsea star | OneFootball

Barcelona sporting director Deco is a long-time admirer of the talents of a member of the attacking ranks at Chelsea.

The player in question? João Pedro.

Frontman Pedro is for his part in the midst of an altogether impressive debut campaign on the books of Premier League giants Chelsea.

Despite the struggles of the Blues as a collective, the Brazilian international has racked up 20 goals and nine assists across all competitions.

And such exploits have not gone at all unnoticed at the aforementioned Barcelona…

On the lookout for reinforcements up top with a view to next season, the Blaugrana are understood to be keeping a very close eye on Pedro’s situation.

As much comes with Deco, sporting director at the Spotify Camp Nou, in ‘love’ with the former Brighton man.

As per a report from Diario Sport, should a deal for first-choice target Julián Alvarez prove unattainable, Barca are therefore expected to go all out to bring Pedro to La Liga.
