Chelsea Football Club has confirmed the signing of João Pedro, a player who has agreed to a contract until 2032. According to Fabrizio Romano, the transfer has been confirmed with the phrase “here we go”. The deal was initially reported to be worth £50m+, as agreed upon by Chelsea earlier this month.
João Pedro is set to complete his medical examination in Brazil before joining the Chelsea team for the FIFA Club World Cup next week. He is scheduled to travel on Tuesday. The player had reportedly only considered a move to Chelsea, despite efforts from Newcastle to sign him.
João Pedro’s position and style of play are not specified, but his transfer history indicates he was previously under contract with another club before joining Chelsea. Further details about his playing style and past clubs are not available in the latest reports.
