Fabrizio Romano provided an update on the future of Joao Pedro following the link between Liverpool and Chelsea.
Brighton forwards are impressed in the Premier League and seem to be enough to quickly step into a big club.
And now, Brighton appears to be ready to let go of Pedro this summer, but he won’t be cheaper, but Romano reports that the Brazilians’ asking price is in the region of 700 million euros.

Joao Pedro Transfer suitors include Liverpool and Chelsea
Catch off side Recently, Pedro was informed of his interest by Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Newcastle United.
Romano doesn’t name any particular clubs, but he confirmed our report that the 23-year-old could move this summer.
Pedro has 10 goals and six assists in total for Brighton this season, so it’s easy to imagine he could do even better with a big club with better players around him.
Is Joao Pedro ready for big moves?
Still, not everyone is sure, and Charles Watts writes to him Catch off side A link between the column on Pedro and Arsenal.
Even if Watts likes Pedro as a player, he’s not sure Arsenal needs it right now.
“He’s a good player. He catches my eye every time I see Brighton,” Watts said.
“But I’m watching him, but I just don’t think he’s the person this Arsenal team needs right now.
“He’s not an out-and-out number nine and isn’t a player who actually likes to play wide. These positions have to be a priority for Arsenal this summer.”
Perhaps Liverpool and Chelsea will find more space for Pedro, but he doesn’t necessarily look like a major upgrade to either of Anfield’s Luis Diaz and Cody Gakupo, or Stamford Bridge’s Jadon Sancho and Noni Madue.
