Brighton striker Joao Pedro was linked to a distance from the club during the summer transfer window, and Newcastle United wishes.
However, they brought a blow in their quest for the player. According to his teammate, Julio, the player prefers to stay in London and, therefore, he will favor the offers of London clubs this summer.
The player prefers the London movement
“Joao Pedro had already said some time ago that his desire was to leave, to look for new things and to go to the next stage,” Julio told Trivela. “It seems that it will be difficult and complicated for him to stay here.
“I would go to a team from Liverpool and I think it would be perfectly integrated into Liverpool. It’s because I always dreamed of playing to Liverpool and I would go there. He always told me that he really wanted to live in London, so I think he will prioritize what comes first. ”
It will be interesting to see if a club is ready to present an offer to sign it. The 23 -year -old has successfully managed in the Premier League last season, and he would be an excellent acquisition for most teams.
Newcastle could use Joao Pedro
Newcastle needs more depth in the attack unit. They were too dependent on Alexander Isak. The Swedish international was exceptional for them, but they need more support in the attack.
The Brazilian would have been the ideal acquisition for them. It remains to be seen how the situation is developing in the coming weeks. Newcastle has finance to submit a lucrative proposal for the player. They can also offer him premium wages. He remains to be seen if he can convince the player to join the club.
The opportunity to play in the Champions League with Newcastle could be tempting for the player. It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can conclude an agreement.
Meanwhile, the attacker probably cost a substantial sum of money. Brighton would be demanding up to 50 to 60 million pounds sterling for the player.
The striker only scored 10 goals last season. Even if there is no doubt that it is a phenomenal talent and that it could improve more, the price requested reported is quite expensive, and no club will want to pay this kind of money for someone who is still largely unproven.
