Overview
- Fabrizio Romano reported this week that Chelsea consider Joao Pedro untouchable for the summer window and will not enter talks with Barcelona.
- Deco has tracked Pedro since his Brighton days and, per Sport reporting, met his camp in recent weeks, with price estimates ranging from €80m to €100m.
- CaughtOffside and Football España, citing Simon Phillips, say Pedro has spoken to Raphinha and is open to Barcelona, yet he has not asked to leave and Chelsea plan to keep him.
- With Pedro seen as unavailable, multiple outlets say Barcelona have added PSG’s Gonçalo Ramos to their shortlist, viewing him as a feasible option if PSG are open to a sale or loan.
- Separately, reports from Sky Sport CH relayed by several outlets say Wesley Fofana was offered to Barcelona at about €30m, though Mail Sport reports the defender has no intention of leaving, underlining mixed signals around any move.
