Barcelona pursues Joao Pedro as Chelsea considers contract extension

Barcelona's pursuit of Chelsea's Joao Pedro takes a notable turn as reports indicate Chelsea is looking to extend his contract. After his move from Brighton for $67 million, Joao Pedro signed a seven-year deal that runs until 2032, with potential new terms being discussed. The extension may complicate Barcelona's efforts, especially as they also contend with Ferran Torres potentially moving to Paris Saint-Germain. If Torres departs, Barcelona would need to rethink their forward options, possibly relying on Hamza Abdelkarim.
