Bangkok: Chelsea, the Premier League giants, are preparing to reward the outstanding performance of 24-year-old Brazilian striker Joao Pedro with a new contract and increased salary. Pedro has impressed since his £60 million move from Brighton last season. Although he signed an eight-year contract until 2033, Chelsea's board has a clear policy of rewarding key players by adjusting their contract terms to reflect their importance to the team, similar to the cases of Moises Caicedo and Cole Palmer, who both received new contracts and salary increases previously.
According to Thai News Agency, Joao Pedro's time at Stamford Bridge has been marked by significant achievements. He arrived just in time to score three goals, helping the team win the Club World Cup. Throughout the 2025/26 season, Pedro's form surged as he scored 20 goals in 50 appearances across all competitions, solidifying his role as a key player in the team's attack. Chelsea's decision to extend his contract and increase his salary underscores the club's commitment to retaining their top talent.
