Brighton and Hove Albion’s Joao Pedro has been linked with a potential move, with Premier League giants Liverpool and Arsenal both eager to sign him.
Manchester City is also expected to be a competitor in the race. The 23-year-old Brazilian striker has gained attention for his impressive performances this season.
Sources have informed CaughtOffside that Liverpool are prioritizing Pedro’s signing and may begin negotiations with Brighton as soon as January. The club sees Pedro as a player who could develop into an elite talent under manager Arne Slot, especially if a key attacker departs next summer.
Arsenal and Manchester City are also keen on the striker, and both clubs plan to offer around €55-65 million for Pedro. Manchester City, alongside Arsenal, sees Pedro as someone who could enhance their attacking options.
Brighton has set a €70 million price tag (roughly £60 million) for Pedro, and it remains to be seen whether his potential suitors will meet that valuation. Pedro is reportedly open to leaving Brighton, with the prospect of playing in the Champions League being an appealing factor. Chelsea has also been linked with him.
Pedro is widely regarded as an elite talent with a promising future and the quality to play for top clubs in the country. The chance to join teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, or Manchester City would be an exciting opportunity for him. Playing at such a level would not only offer him the chance to win major trophies but also to develop alongside world-class players.
It will be intriguing to see where the Brazilian striker ultimately decides to go.
