Jorge Nicola claims that Chelsea could need to offer Flamengo $25 million to persuade them to trade Pedro, the striker. The 26-year-old forward first came to their attention a while back as Mauricio Pochettino looks to add a proven striker to his team's offensive lineup. Pedro has long drawn interest from teams across the Atlantic, but Flamengo wants to keep their center striker exclusively. Flamengo wants to keep Pedro. Chelsea is currently keeping an eye on the 26-year-old, and they may make a bid in the summer.
Flamengo would rather sell Pedro to a major European team than a domestic rival, having already turned down a €20 million bid from rival Palmeiras. Therefore, the Brazilian club, which is seeking at least €25 million to offload the 26-year-old striker, would be attracted to the prospect of him joining Chelsea or any other European team.
