Chelsea interested in Flamengo forward Pedro

Chelsea have emerged as rumoured suitors for Flamengo forward Pedro as the Blues seek to bolster their attacking options.

Despite recent improvements, Chelsea’s performance in the final third has been inconsistent this season.

With financial constraints looming, the West Londoners may turn to Pedro as an alternative to Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, whose release clause poses a significant financial hurdle.

Pedro, known for his impressive performances in Brazil, presents an affordable option for Chelsea at €25m. Although Flamengo are keen to retain him, Chelsea’s track record of successful dealings with Brazilian clubs under current ownership may facilitate the transfer.

Pedro’s proven track record and experience could provide an immediate impact, unlike previous signings viewed as long-term investments. As Chelsea navigates financial challenges, securing Pedro’s services could offer a pragmatic solution to their attacking woes.
