According to the latest reports from Mundo Deportivo, Joao Pedro dreams of joining Barcelona, but it will be difficult to sign him for a transfer fee less than 100 million euros.

It is reported that Joao Pedro grew up watching his compatriots achieve great success at Barcelona: Ronaldinho, Neymar, and Raphinha. He has a special affection for Barcelona and yearns for the opportunity to wear the Barcelona jersey.

However, Chelsea will not let him go easily. They spent about 65 million euros to sign him last July. At Chelsea, he is currently considered the best player in the team, but the problem is that there is no release clause in his contract.

Sources close to the player believe that it will be difficult for him to leave Chelsea for a transfer fee less than 100 million euros, although they clearly stated that Joao Pedro wants to play in the Champions League next season, and staying at Chelsea cannot achieve this goal.

In addition, they also pointed out that due to the restrictions of Financial Fair Play rules, Chelsea needs to sell players. In mid-April, Barcelona had several contacts, and the initial contact was to understand the player's thoughts, but then there was no news.

Now Joao Pedro is focused on the FA Cup and ensuring he makes the squad for the upcoming World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Starting next week, Chelsea's season will be settled, and then his future will begin to be analyzed.

However, they are still waiting for further progress from Barcelona, including communication with Chelsea and the player himself. Without a formal written offer, they will not negotiate with Chelsea.
