Barcelona’s pursuit of a long-term successor for Robert Lewandowski led them to Chelsea striker João Pedro, but the Blues reportedly have “every intention” of keeping the Brazilian at Stamford Bridge for the foreseeable future.
The Catalans bid an emotional farewell to Lewandowski on the final matchday of the season, paying tribute to the Pole who scored 120 goals in four seasons at Barcelona. The club opted not to offer the 37-year-old a new contract and instead is scouring the market for a younger No. 9 to lead the line for years to come.
