Turned down three top clubs! Chelsea star to sign new long-term contract
Chelsea striker João Pedro is set to sign a new long-term contract with the London club in the near future, according to renowned insider Fabrizio Romano.
According to the source, both parties have already reached a verbal agreement. The new deal will run until June 2033, with the player set to receive a salary increase.
Chelsea's management decided to improve the Brazilian's contract terms following his impressive performances and interest from other European giants. Romano reports that João Pedro turned down offers from three top clubs, choosing instead to continue his career at Stamford Bridge.
The club views the 24-year-old forward as untouchable and never considered selling him. That's why negotiations for the new deal were wrapped up in record time.
An official announcement on the contract extension is expected in the coming days. For Chelsea, keeping João Pedro is a crucial step in preparing for the new season, and the Brazilian will remain one of the team's key players for the long term.
