Chelsea and Newcastle needs Joao Pedro

Chelsea has won the Champions League qualifications for the next season, and they will look forward to the struggle for major prizes. They need more quality on the side to match the European elite. They can have an advantage in the race because the player wants to live in London.

Likewise, Newcastle will compete in the Champions League as well. They were excessively dependent on Alexander Isac, and needed more support in the attack.

It is fair that we assume that both clubs will have to pay in addition to the signature of the player. It is highly classified in Brighton, and they are under pressure to sell it. They will only be allowed to live in their terms, and the two clubs will have to pay a large amount of money in order to complete the deal.
