One of the standout players from Roberto de Zerbi’s impressive Brighton is the Brazilian striker, João Pedro. The 22-year-old footballer, who arrived in the summer of 2023 for a fee close to 34.20 million from Watford, is proving that the price paid for him was worth it.
João Pedro has scored 21 goals in 32 games, and England’s elite is taking notice of his services.

In the European continental competition, João has scored six goals in six games, while in the FA Cup, he has five goals in just two matches played. These numbers would be catching the attention of some of England’s biggest clubs.
According to journalist Ekrem Konur, João Pedro is reportedly on the radar of clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool, or Arsenal, and his price tag is expected to be high and non-negotiable.
Brighton has been known in recent years for buying low and selling high. As a player who cost more than 30.00 million euros, The Seagulls wouldn’t be willing to part ways with the Brazilian unless for an exorbitantly high fee.
Recently, Brighton sold the Ecuadorian gem Moisés Caicedo to Chelsea for 116.00 million euros, and if anything the European market has shown us is that goals come at a high price. In the current context and considering Brighton’s selling prowess, how much would a player like João Pedro be worth today? Probably over 100.00 million euros.
