Despite the summer transfer window not yet being open, Chelsea are already the most spoken about club.
Set to make several changes over the coming months, including welcoming Xabi Alonso as their new manager from July 1, the Blues will look completley next season.
As well as new signings, multiple players are expected to depart, including Marc Cucurella, who is a target for Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
One player who is viewed as 'untouchable' is Joao Pedro, though. The Brazilian had an excellent first season at Stamford Bridge, which made his omission from Brazil's World Cup squad so surprising.
However, irrespective of Chelsea's stance on keeping Pedro next season and beyond, recent reports claim the striker has 'already agreed' to join a big European club.
Joao Pedro agrees to join Barcelona
Barcelona want Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez as their priority attacking target, but considering how difficult the Argentine will be to prise away from Los Colchoneros, Pedro is believed to be Hansi Flick's ideal backup option.
After joining from Brighton and Hove Albion last summer, the 24-year-old is under contract with Chelsea until 2033, but that hasn't stopped Barcelona from trying to get him.
Interestingly, despite the Blues having no interest in letting him go, according to a recent report from AS, Pedro has 'already agreed' to join the Catalan giants.
It's likely Pedro's representative have told Barcelona their star client would join them, but only if an agreement can be reach with Chelsea, and that's never going to happen.
Chelsea have no reason to panic
On the surface, this report is alarming, but it's important to remember that Chelsea hold all the cards. If the club have no intention to sell, they won't.
As for Pedro, if he really is serious about moving to the Nou Camp, he may have to force the issue, but that would risk upsetting the club, and the fanbase, and that's probably not something he'll want given how well his first year has gone.
The Brazilian has become a bit of a fan favourite and looks certain to play an important role un Alonso. Jumping ship now seems illogical, because Pedro will have the perfect chance to have his best-ever Premier League campaign next season.
During his first season in west London, Pedro, who currently earns around £125,000 per week, scored 23 goals and registered nine assists in 53 matches in all competitions.
