Fabrizio Romano: Pedro would send a 'bad message' if he leaves Chelsea

Fabrizio Romano has insisted that Joao Pedro is a crucial figure in Chelsea's long-term plans, warning that a departure would send a 'bad message' to the squad.

The Brazilian striker, signed for £60m from Brighton, has excelled this season with 20 goals in all competitions. While Barcelona scouts appreciate his qualities, Romano insists the club counts on him and he must stay at Stamford Bridge to maintain the project's momentum. sweetbonanza.qpon
