In a stunning revelation, Chelsea’s new £60M signing Joao Pedro has broken his silence on what truly convinced him to join the Blues—and it wasn’t just about silverware or the Premier League dream. It was a private conversation that sealed the deal.
🗣️ “It Was Deeper Than Football”
Speaking to a Brazilian outlet shortly after his unveiling, Pedro shared:
> “They told me everything — about the culture, the city, the training ground, but more than that… about the family here. It’s not just a club. It’s a brotherhood.”
👥 Who Were the Two Players?
While Pedro didn’t name names directly, insiders have confirmed the chat was with:
Thiago Silva, who acted as a mentor and Brazilian guide
Enzo Fernández, who spoke about the vision under Maresca and Chelsea’s new attacking identity
> “Thiago said, ‘This club protects its own. If you give everything, the fans and players give it back tenfold.’ That hit me.”
“Enzo said I’d thrive under the new system. He saw something in me that others missed.”
