Joao Pedro "deserves" to leave, says ex-Chelsea man in extraordinary dig at Blues
"Joao Pedro backed for Barcelona transfer by former Chelsea player Wright-Phillips has now responded to the speculation about Pedro joining Barca, and backed him to get the move due to the failure of this current CFC side. I believe it would be fantastic for Joao if he were to go, Wright-Phillips told Somos Fanaticos, as quoted by the Evening Standard. Personally, given the way Chelsea has been run, if I were him, I would do everything to complete this transfer."
"Wright-Phillips said he couldn't blame Pedro for wanting to leave the Blues under this ownership. The Brazilian striker has performed superbly in his first season at Stamford Bridge, though it looks like ultimately being a disappointing campaign for the club. Barcelona have been linked with Pedro by ESPN Brasil, as well as by trusted Chelsea news source Simon Phillips on his Substack."
"Playing at Camp Nou, alongside Raphinha and [Lamine] Yamal, would be great for him. He would score many goals, since we have already seen what he did in a team that wasn't as good as this Chelsea team."
Joao Pedro has been linked with a move to Barcelona. Former Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips backed the transfer and said he would want Pedro to complete it given how Chelsea has been run. Wright-Phillips suggested he could not blame Pedro for wanting to leave under the current ownership. He praised Pedro’s first season at Stamford Bridge as superb, while implying the overall campaign for Chelsea could still be disappointing. Wright-Phillips added that playing at Camp Nou with Raphinha and Lamine Yamal would suit Pedro and help him score many goals, citing his past output in a less strong team.
