I want to sell the blues.
Having put an end to a £50,000-a-week contract in Brighton, Brazil International spent an additional £5 million add-on on in addition to its first £55 million signing for Chelsea.
First appearance at Chelsea, Pedro helped a new team in the next round of the CWC, past the 50-minute mark against Palmeiras, replacing his summer arrival buddies.
Maresca’s side defeated Palmeiras 2-1 in the quarterfinals at Lincoln Financial Field earlier this morning. Currently, Chelsea has totaled around £55 million from participating in the tournament.

If Chelsea wins everything, they can deposit around £90 million (mirror) in the bank, and Pedro is poised to play a key role after being registered on time to be named to the updated CWC team.
What Joao Pedro “already” does in Chelsea training
Speaking about Talksport earlier this week, Pundit Troy Deeney shared that the 23-year-old has made quite an impression in training.
Deeney also flips Stardom’s former Watford frontman despite his childhood, explaining exactly why Pedro should see at Stanford Bridge.
“Joan brings strength — he’s clearly an exceptional footballer,” Deanie said.
“Social media clips show Chelsea coming out in training and he’s already throwing weight.
“He’s not all or anything. I think his misunderstanding is that he’s a troublemaker. He’s definitely not. He’s passionate, energetic and wants to win.
“But at Chelsea, I think we’ll see the real João Pedro who enjoys the competition and what he thinks he should start with for Brazil.”
Deeney continues to tip Pedro for his move to Barcelona and Real Madrid if he can make an impression over the next two years.
“I’ve seen this player since he was 18 and his mentality hasn’t changed a bit.
“I always want to be the best and I want to be the new R9.” Whether he can decide for everyone. In the short term, it’s about how he gets there. He is only 23 years old.
“I think the business Chelsea has done this summer has been exceptional so far. Looking at the Brazilian national team, it’s not as strong as the team we’ve seen over the years.
“I’m sure Chelsea is a 8-year deal that’s spreading to PSR, but if he does well for two years, Real Madrid and Barcelona will knock, and Chelsea is a younger model of buying and could sell far more than they paid.”
