Barcelona are apparently going to step up their negotiations to sign Chelsea forward Joao Pedro this summer.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This is a link that has been growing stronger in the last few weeks, with mainly reports from Spain hyping it up. Well, that hype is continuing again now, and it appears that Barcelona really might want to sign Pedro from Chelsea at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Do they have any chance of landing him? I don\u2019t think so personally, Chelsea will not entertain selling Pedro this summer. I just can\u2019t see it. But the issue is, when Barcelona come calling, not many players would say no. So I guess it would depend on whether Pedro would push for it or not. Still don\u2019t see it happening regardless.<\/p>\n

It was said on El Chiringuito TV last night:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBarcelona are going to intensify the negotiations for Joao Pedro, with Julian Alvarez now linked to PSG.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPedro is hugely \u2018appealing\u2019 to Barcelona manager Hansi Flick.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe has all the characteristics that Barcelona likes. If Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez doesn\u2019t \u201cget wet,\u201d the club continues working on this option that is a consensus and excites.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
