Summary
- Joao Pedro signs new contract keeping him at Chelsea until 2034.
- The Brazilian was named Chelsea's Player of the Season for 2025-26.
- Pedro cited the club's winning tradition and future ambitions as reasons.
Brazilian striker Joao Pedro has extended his contract with Chelsea, signing a new deal that will keep him at Stamford Bridge until 2034. This new agreement means the 24-year-old forward has committed his long-term future to the club, a decision he attributes to Chelsea's "long tradition of winning" and "big ambitions for the future."
Pedro originally joined Chelsea in the summer of 2025 and quickly became a fan favorite. His outstanding performances in the 2025-26 season earned him the Player of the Season award, with 23 goals and nine assists across all competitions. Despite his form, he narrowly missed out on a World Cup squad. He continued his impressive scoring in pre-season friendlies, netting seven goals.
The new contract aligns Pedro's deal with that of teammate Geovany Quenda, making it one of the longest running at the club. His previous weekly wage of £125,000 is expected to rise, potentially matching top earners like Wesley Fofana and Reece James at £200,000 per week. This move signals Chelsea's intent to retain key talent.
Chelsea's strategy of offering lengthy contracts is evident, with many players on deals extending to 2028 and beyond. While some contracts are expiring in 2028, including those of veterans like Jordan Henderson and Danny Welbeck, the club may focus on securing extensions for players like Levi Colwill and Wesley Fofana, who are among those with deals running until 2029.
