Joao Pedro, Brighton’s young Brazilian striker, could be on his way away from the English club to sign for a top club in Europe.
Joao Pedro has impressed the Arsenal management after an outstanding season with Brighton in the Premier League. The 23-year-old striker has attracted interest from the London club thanks to his performances on the south coast, where he has established himself as one of the team’s key attacking references. His name is now among the favorites to bolster the Gunners’ offense next season.

High price range for Joao Pedro
The Brazilian striker has scored ten goals in the English league – a feat that has prompted several major European clubs to show interest. Beyond the goal numbers, he stands out with his mobility, technical skills, and ability to combine in tight spaces, making him an attractive acquisition for a club with Arsenal’s style of play. At Emirates, his versatility and youth are valued as key elements of a long-term investment.
But Brighton have no intention of letting one of their most valuable players go for any price. The club has set a minimum sum to initiate any negotiation: 80 million euros. This amount reflects not only the player’s current level, but also his future potential – something the board has carefully considered.

With such a high price, any transfer will be a big investment, but with Joao Pedro’s potential and versatility, he could be a key player for a club that wants to compete at a high level in the coming years.
