! Chelsea Agree Deal to Sign João Pedro from Brighton in £50m+ Move
Chelsea have officially secured the signing of Brazilian forward João Pedro from Brighton & Hove Albion in a deal worth in excess of £50 million. The move is done and sealed, with the 22-year-old agreeing to a long-term contract that will keep him at Stamford Bridge until June 2032.
Deal Details:
- Transfer Fee: Over £50 million
- Contract Length: Until June 2032
- Medical: Set for Tuesday in Brazil
- Next Stop: FIFA Club World Cup in the US
João Pedro, who impressed in his debut Premier League season with Brighton following a record move from Watford, has caught the eye of Chelsea scouts with his creativity, technical flair, and versatility across the front line. The Brazilian racked up goals and assists for the Seagulls and showed he can thrive in the English top flight.
He is expected to undergo his medical in Brazil on Tuesday before traveling to the United States, where he will link up with his new teammates ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup, a tournament Chelsea are eager to compete in as part of their pre-season preparations.
The transfer represents another major investment by Chelsea as they continue to build for the future under their ambitious ownership. João Pedro becomes one of the club’s marquee summer signings, reinforcing an already talent-packed attacking unit.
“João is a player we’ve admired for some time. He brings flair, determination, and that South American hunger that we believe fits perfectly into our project,” a Chelsea source reportedly said.
With this signing, Chelsea have sent a strong message to their Premier League rivals — the Blues mean business this season.
