According to reports from O Día, Chelsea are seriously exploring the possibility of signing 26-year-old Brazilian striker Pedro from Flamengo. The London club is considering submitting an official offer of around 25 million euros in the coming months.
It is clear that Chelsea need to strengthen their attacking line, especially after the struggles of Nicolas Jackson, who has failed to live up to expectations since arriving at the club. With Pedro, Chelsea could find a reliable solution to their goalscoring woes, as the striker has proven to be a prolific goalscorer for Flamengo with five goals in five games in all competitions this season.
Pedro, new option for Chelsea’s attack
With a total of 105 goals in the last four seasons for the Brazilian club, Pedro offers a goal guarantee for Chelsea to stay at the top of the table and strive for trophies in the near future. His contract with Flamengo runs until December 2027, meaning Chelsea would have to negotiate a reasonable transfer fee with the Brazilian club to secure his signature.
For Pedro, the opportunity to move to the Premier League would be a big step forward in his career. Although Chelsea have struggled recently, they are still one of the biggest clubs in the world and the chance to play for them would be tempting for any player in their position. With his years of experience and desire to compete at the highest level, Pedro could be a perfect fit at Stamford Bridge.
However, Chelsea are also considering other options in the striker market, including Victor Osimhen. Given their financial strength, the London club are in a good position to complete the signing that best suits their attacking needs and it will be interesting to see how negotiations develop in the coming months.
