Still, it seems the Blues do not intend to sell Pedro this summer and the Brazil international has also not explicitly told them he wants to leave, according to Simon Phillips.
The report adds that Chelsea could make some sales this summer, but it seems that Pedro is not likely to be one of those, even if he does seem to be putting feelers out over a potential move away.
It would surely make sense for Pedro and other Chelsea players to consider moving on after such a poor season, with the west London giants now looking unlikely to qualify for the Champions League, while they could even miss out on Europe altogether.
Is Joao Pedro looking for a transfer to Barcelona?
Barca seemingly have an interest in Pedro, according to Phillips, but for now itβs all at an early stage and not necessarily likely to happen, even if the player himself has also asked his fellow countryman Raphinha about the club.

Pedro certainly looks like someone who could flourish at a bigger club like Barcelona, but heβs on a long-term contract at CFC, so it would take a lot to force them into letting him go.
The 24-year-old has 20 goals and six assists in his first season at Chelsea, so theyβll no doubt want to keep him around for a long time.
Still, if he keeps performing like this itβs going to be very hard fighting off interest from Barcelona and other elite clubs if Chelsea are unable to convince players of this calibre that theyβre serious contenders for the biggest trophies.
