Chelsea plans to reject all bids for Joao Pedro this summer
Summary

Chelsea intends to turn down all transfer offers for Joao Pedro this summer, even those exceeding £100 million. The club's management sees the forward, who scored 23 goals last season and was named Player of the Season, as crucial to their plans. Barcelona has shown interest but Chelsea is firm in their decision not to sell. They have already generated around £120 million from recent player sales and are positioned for further transfers, with ongoing negotiations for additional departures. Chelsea is also in talks with Crystal Palace to acquire central defender Maxence Lacroix.
