Newcastle is reportedly interested in acquiring Joao Pedro from Brighton. Brighton has responded to the increasing interest by setting a substantial asking price of nearly £100 million. The interest in Pedro extends beyond Newcastle, with other prominent clubs such as Chelsea, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain also expressing interest. Brighton is resolute in retaining Pedro unless their valuation is satisfied, mirroring their earlier position during the Moises Caicedo transfer. The competition from these clubs may make Newcastle's attempt to sign the striker more challenging.
