In a stunning revelation, Chelsea’s new Β£60M signing Joao Pedro has broken his silence on what truly convinced him to join the Bluesβand it wasn’t just about silverware or the Premier League dream. It was a private conversation that sealed the deal.
π£οΈ “It Was Deeper Than Football”
Speaking to a Brazilian outlet shortly after his unveiling, Pedro shared:
> βThey told me everything β about the culture, the city, the training ground, but more than thatβ¦ about the family here. Itβs not just a club. Itβs a brotherhood.β
π₯ Who Were the Two Players?
While Pedro didnβt name names directly, insiders have confirmed the chat was with:
Thiago Silva, who acted as a mentor and Brazilian guide
Enzo FernΓ‘ndez, who spoke about the vision under Maresca and Chelseaβs new attacking identity
> βThiago said, βThis club protects its own. If you give everything, the fans and players give it back tenfold.β That hit me.β
βEnzo said Iβd thrive under the new system. He saw something in me that others missed.β
π Chelseaβs New Era Gathers Momentum
Joao Pedroβs arrival is seen as a major coup over interest from Arsenal, Newcastle, and AC Milan. But this move wasnβt about the money β it was about belonging.
β½ Fan Reaction:
βThatβs the Chelsea DNA β loyalty, family, belief.β
βThiago Silva recruiting from beyond the pitch!β
βWe got a baller AND a believer.β
