Joao Pedro sends 'important' message amid Brighton exit claim
03/21/2025 07:53 AM
Joao Pedro's future at Brighton is uncertain amid growing transfer speculation, but he recently sent an update to fans.
Pedro has been central to Brighton’s push for European football this season, proving himself a key player. Since his move from Watford for a club-record £30 million, the 23-year-old has made an immediate impact, scoring 28 goals and providing 10 assists in 65 appearances for the club.
His impressive form has caught the attention of top clubs, with Football Insider revealing that Liverpool are among those interested in signing Pedro.
However, reports suggest Brighton are looking to “drum up” interest in Pedro, as the club are aware of his value and look to possibly spark a bidding war for the talented forward.
Despite the ongoing speculation about his future, the striker remains grounded as he posted an update while on international duty.

Joao Pedro keen on Liverpool move amid growing speculation
Pedro is currently with Brazil, and he started up top in their most recent match alongside Vinicius Jr as they secured a 2-1 victory over Colombia. After the match, he shared an update on Instagram with the caption: "Very important victory +3."
The post garnered plenty of attention, with players like Man City winger Savinho and Arsenal's Gabriel Magalhaes, who has recently been linked with a move to Al-Nassr, showing their appreciation.
Pedro has been one of the standout forwards in the Premier League this season, contributing 15 goals and assists across all competitions. Football Insider revealed in December that Liverpool are planning a £60 million bid for Pedro, who is keen on making the move to Anfield.
Liverpool may move on from Nunez and Jota amid Pedro interest
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has experimented with various players in the striker role this season, including Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, and Diogo Jota.
However, it has become clear that the Reds need a more reliable focal point in attack, and Pedro could be the player to fill that void.
There could also be several departures from the club this summer, making it a potentially busy transfer window for Slot. Nunez was close to leaving Liverpool in January, with a move to Al-Nassr on the cards, but the Saudi side ultimately opted for Jhon Duran instead.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have shown interest in Jota, and if Liverpool were to lose a few of their attacking options, someone like Pedro could seamlessly slot into their ranks, providing the much-needed spark in attack.
