Chelsea’s Joao Pedro is set to extend his stay until 2032—with potential for two more years—after a stellar season that saw him smash the club’s goalscoring record for strikers since Diego Costa. Signed from Brighton for £55m, the Brazilian striker has already earned a pay bump and now wears the coveted No. 9 shirt. His contract will be marketed as running until 2034, signaling Chelsea’s intent to reward and retain their top scorer ahead of big-money interest from Barcelona. With eight pre-season goals and three in the Club World Cup, Pedro’s form makes him a key figure in their Premier League opener against Fulham—and he’s just the first in a wave of new deals planned post-transfer window.
