Newcastle United set to begin negotiations to sign Joao Pedro

Newcastle United will reportedly look to sign 23-year-old Brazilian international Joao Pedro from Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by the Daily Telegraph, Joao Pedro is the subject of interest from Newcastle United. The Magpies are scouring the market for a versatile attacker heading into the summer transfer window as they look to reinforce their offensive unit. So, the Brighton & Hove Albion star has emerged as a target for the Tyneside outfit.

Newcastle United will soon open talks to sign the South American attacker from Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, the Premier League club will demand around £60 million to part ways with Pedro, with Newcastle prioritising signing him in the coming weeks.

Joao Pedro and his spell with Brighton & Hove Albion

Joao Pedro has come leaps and bounds since joining Brighton & Hove Albion from Watford in July 2023. While the 23-year-old has struggled with fitness issues in the last two seasons, he has maintained his productivity levels throughout his spell with the Seagulls. He contributed to 17 goals in 30 appearances across all competitions by finding the back of the net ten times and providing seven assists.

Meanwhile, Pedro’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. Premier League bigwigs, in particular, are keen on signing the Brazilian attacker, with Newcastle United among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.

Move across the Premier League on the cards?

Newcastle United’s interest in Joao Pedro is understandable. The Magpies are keen on bolstering their offensive unit in the summer transfer window by signing a versatile attacker. While Pedro will not fill the void that Miguel Almiron left when he rejoined Atlanta United earlier this year, his versatility makes him an appealing target.

Recent reports have claimed that the Brighton & Hove Albion attacker is open to joining Newcastle United in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, the Premier League club will demand around £60 million to part ways with the South American attacker in the summer transfer window.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United will soon open talks to sign the 23-year-old Brazilian international in the summer transfer window. However, it is unclear if the Tyneside outfit will be open to forking out around £60 million to sign Pedro from Brighton in the coming weeks.
