main target is chelsea
The newspaper reports that Barcelona have already identified their main targets for the upcoming transfer window, and right now, Joao Pedro is one of the top targets.
The Chelsea man is the name that has 'generated the most consensus' among the club's sporting management.
The people in charge of Camp Nou respect the Brazilians very much. The feeling is that he possesses many of the qualities Barcelona are looking for in their center forward of the future.
According to information received by Sport from 'sources close to the player', Deco has flown to London to meet Joao Pedro's agents.
He could also take advantage of his stay in England to watch the FA Cup final. Joao Pedro is likely to start the game for Chelsea when they take on Manchester City at Wembley.
Barcelona is planning slowly
Reportedly, the visit has been kept 'top secret' within Barcelona. The Catalan giants want to move forward with 'sufficient time and foresight'.
The economics of the deal will require calm and careful planning. A face-to-face meeting with João Pedro during his visit is 'not out of the question'.
Barcelona's management believes that the Brazilian fits perfectly into the current team. He is considered a modern striker, with obvious technical quality and youth. At the moment, he is the clear favorite to become Barcelona's number nine ahead of Julian Alvarez.
They also know that getting him out of Chelsea will not be an easy task. Work will need to be done to create salary space in their squad and finalize departures before a deal can be done. But Deco's visit to London is a clear signal of Barcelona's intentions this summer.
