London's Arsenal wanted to buy Chelsea striker Joao Pedro. This was reported by the Brazilian publication Globo.
The Gunners were willing to pay over 100 million euros (around £85.5 million) for the player.
However, Chelsea displayed prudence and responded with a refusal. The management of the London club decided to keep the Brazilian and signed him to a new contract.
In the current market realities, the offered amount is simply insufficient for such a transfer. Pedro regularly scores goals and can single-handedly determine the outcomes of matches.
Journalists note that the forward cannot be worth less than Sandro Tonali or Elliot Anderson.
If Anderson and Morgan Rogers are valued at nearly £120 million, then Pedro should be priced at least similarly. The Brazilian will bring much more benefit and victories to the team than these two players.
