Joao Pedro Says He Joined Chelsea to Support Cole Palmer Not Compete With Him
Joao Pedro has admitted he was nervous about how Cole Palmer would react to his arrival at Chelsea, fearing the club’s star man might see him as competition.
The Brazilian joined from Brighton earlier this summer and has quickly settled in, playing a big role in Chelsea’s FIFA Club World Cup triumph. But he revealed that on his first meeting with Palmer, he felt the need to clear the air.
“Cole is a superstar,” Pedro said. “When I first came, I was a little worried about how he’d take it, because I was the main guy at Brighton. Chelsea is different, so I went to him and said, ‘I’m here to help you.’ He knows I can help him, and I know he can help me.”
Pedro added that the pair have built a strong connection on the pitch, and he believes their partnership can deliver more trophies for the Blues. Chelsea have started the Premier League season strongly, with two wins and a draw putting them second in the table behind Liverpool.
Manchester United have released a list of players who are expected to leave the club during the summer transfer window.
A statement from the club listed the players as Jadon Sancho, Casemiro, Tyrell Malacia, Sonny Aljofree, James Bailey, and Malachi Sharpe.
It was noted that Casemiro enjoyed a strong season at the club and built an excellent reputation during his time with the team.
Meanwhile, Tyrell Malacia made 50 first-team appearances for Manchester United during his spell at the club.
Liverpool have released a list of players who are confirmed to leave the club this summer.
The list includes star players Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, and Ibrahima Konaté. While some players are leaving, others have been offered new contracts.
The players who have been offered fresh terms include Kyle Kelly, Afolami Onanuga, Oliver O’Connor, Lucas Pitt, Ben Trueman, Matthew Wright, Prince Cisse, and Keyrol Figueroa.
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has urged Ademola Lookman to consider a move to Galatasaray.
It can be noted that Lookman recently completed a transfer to Atlético Madrid, and since then, many European clubs have shown interest in the player.
Osimhen then shared an encouraging message to the player, stating that he would be welcome at Galatasaray.
“We are waiting for you at Galatasaray. Come and be a part of this family.”
