Joao Pedro extends Chelsea contract until 2034
Chelsea forward [Joao Pedro] has signed a new long-term contract that will keep him at [Stamford Bridge] until 2034, the Premier League club confirmed on Saturday.
The 24-year-old forward, who was surprisingly left out of Brazil’s squad for this summer’s World Cup, had reportedly attracted interest from several leading European clubs.
Pedro expressed his delight at committing his future to Chelsea and said he feels settled at the club and in London.
“I always dreamed of playing for a big club, and it means a lot to me to give my long-term commitment to this club,” Pedro said in a statement.
Pedro joined Chelsea from [Brighton] last year and enjoyed an impressive debut campaign, scoring 20 goals in all competitions.
His new deal represents a major show of faith from Chelsea as the club look to build around the Brazilian forward for the long term.
Chelsea will begin their new Premier League campaign away to [Fulham] on Monday, with Pedro expected to play a key role in their attack.
