Leaving Fiorentina in January 2021 to head to Flamengo for £12.6m after a year long loan there, Pedro’s season hasn’t gone all that badly so far.
He’s scored nine goals and assisted another four in 34 appearances for the Brazilian side, and caught the attention of two Premier League clubs, Crystal Palace and Fulham, in the process.
This comes courtesy of TuttoMercatoWeb, who explains the Eagles and the Cottagers have joined Monza in Italy in following the player.
Their dream is to sign Mauro Icardi from Paris Saint-Germain, but the newly promoted Serie A side consider Pedro ‘one of the most fascinating hypotheses’ to bolster their attack.
The belief is that Flamengo could loan him out, before adding that two clubs in the Premier League are ‘getting serious’: Crystal Palace and Fulham.
It’s no secret Marco Silva is pushing hard to bolster his squad in what will be a difficult season for the Craven Cottage side, but he at least knows there will be goals thanks to Aleksandar Mitrovic.
As for Patrick Vieira at Crystal Palace, he doesn’t have a huge need for a striker, with Odsonne Edouard, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Christian Benteke already there, as well as Jordan Ayew.
Whether some might leave and make room for Pedro remains to be seen, but if the Italian website are to be believe, the Eagles and Fulham want the Brazilian.
