Barcelona are reportedly making Chelsea forward Joao Pedro one of their top targets for the upcoming summer transfer window.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Brazilian has been in fine form in his first season at Chelsea, but it could be that his Stamford Bridge future is already in some doubt after a difficult campaign for the club as a whole.<\/p>\n

Pedro has impressed with 19 goals and six assists for the Blues in all competitions, proving to be a real hit since signing from Brighton, where he\u2019d also shown himself to be an exciting talent.<\/p>\n

According to Fichajes, Barca now view Pedro as an ideal potential signing to reshape their attack, but the deal won\u2019t come cheap, possibly as high as \u20ac75m.<\/p>\n

Chelsea surely can\u2019t let Joao Pedro leave<\/h2>\n

Barcelona would undoubtedly do well to capitalise on the chaos at Chelsea right now by bringing in a top player like Pedro, but it would be a near-suicidal move by the west London giants.<\/p>\n

This current project under Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali is really not looking like being on the right track at the moment, so it\u2019s hard to imagine they\u2019d risk letting one of their big success stories go.<\/p>\n

Chelsea spent a huge amount of money on several flops last summer, with players like Liam Delap and Alejandro Garnacho performing really poorly.<\/p>\n

Pedro is the only one who\u2019s really been a positive addition to the CFC squad, so it\u2019s surely vital to keep him around for as long as possible.<\/p>\n

Of course, it might be that the 24-year-old himself pushes to move on and get away from the Chelsea circus, but ultimately it\u2019s the club who have the control here as he\u2019s on a contract until 2033, as per BBC Sport\u2018s report at the time he joined.<\/p>\n
