By bringing to the striker of Brighton, Joao Pedro, Chelsea had spent £ 257 million in buying Brighton players.
Chelsea defeated Newcastle in the race to win the striker of Brighton, Joao Pedro, and were rushing to complete the £ 55 million agreement for Brighton's striker. The Blues are also finishing the purchase of winger worth £ 55.5 million of Dortmund, Jamie Gittper, while increasing their summer transfer value to £ 212 million. Newcastle seems to be the brightest candidate to sign a contract with Pedro but was denied the offer worth £ 50 million last week.
According to The Sun, the Brazilian player just wants to play for Chelsea, and Brighton is said to have a good relationship with the London team. The Blues has now spent £ 257 million to buy Brighton players since Todd Boehly took over Stamford Bridge three years ago. More details, Joao Pedro will be Chelsea's fourth largest contract from Brighton after the American owner, Todd Boehly won the right to own the team by 2022. Before Pedro, Chelsea once brought 3 other “terrible” contracts from Brighton, Marc Cucurella, £ 62 million; Robert Sanchez, 25 million pounds and Moises CaiCedo, £ 115 million.
In fact, Chelsea only decided to recruit Pedro in mid -June, appreciated his flexibility and increased negotiations in the past 48 hours. Although only taking place in a short time, Chelsea still shows the effect when mining of Brighton players.
