Chelsea has secured a key attacker for the long term. João Pedro has signed a new contract that will keep him at Stamford Bridge until June 2032.
The deal is finalized, and the 24-year-old Brazilian forward will receive a salary increase. The contract also gives the club the option to extend his stay even further.
João Pedro joined Chelsea from Brighton in the summer of 2025 for £60 million. He had a remarkable first season in London, becoming a crucial part of the team’s offense. He scored 23 goals and had 9 assists in 53 games during the 2025/26 season. Both the media and fans recognized his performance, naming him Chelsea’s Player of the Season.
He has also started the 2026/27 pre-season strongly, scoring 7 goals in 5 matches. This includes two goals in a recent 3-1 victory against Real Sociedad.
European clubs, including Barcelona, had shown interest after his impressive first year. Chelsea acted quickly to keep their star player and reward his dedication.
João Pedro recently shared his thoughts on the upcoming season, stating his priority is the team’s success. He said his first year was special but not what they aimed for as a team. He plans to keep giving his best and hopes for another good season for himself and the team to reach their goals.
With his contract now extending well into the future, João Pedro is set to be a central figure in Chelsea’s attack for many years.
