# Crystal Palace: Pedro update emerges

**Crystal Palace haven’t made contact over a summer move for Flamengo striker Pedro, according to recent reports.**

### The Lowdown: Palace interest in Pedro

Journalist [Guillem Balague](https://sportwitness.co.uk/absolutely-no-contact-players-staff-responds-crystal-palace-rumours/) said that the Eagles are in the chase for the 24-year-old Brazilian striker, who is valued at £10.8m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/pedro/profil/spieler/432895).

Brighton, Southampton and Wolves have also been [name-checked](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/wolves-transfer-pedro-flamengo-southampton-23441959) with an interest, with Palace shareholder John Textor recently purchasing a large stake in Brazilian club Botafogo.

[Rumours](https://sportwitness.co.uk/absolutely-no-contact-players-staff-responds-crystal-palace-rumours/) have claimed that Textor could buy Pedro for Palace before loaning him to Botafogo, who are Flamengo’s local rivals.

### The Latest: No contact for Pedro

[Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/absolutely-no-contact-players-staff-responds-crystal-palace-rumours/) relayed an update from journalist [Jorge Nicola](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGsV50ekBoc), who asked Pedro’s staff about Palace.

They claimed that there hasn’t been any contact from Selhurst Park so far, with Pedro’s current contract not expiring until [2025](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/pedro/profil/spieler/432895).

### The Verdict: One to watch?

Although there hasn’t been any contact as of yet, it could still be one to keep a close eye on heading into the summer transfer window.

If the signing is made, Palace fans may want to keep hold of Pedro instead of loaning him back to Brazil due to the fact that he has scored [56](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/pedro/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/432895) goals during his club career.

[Reports](https://www.dhnet.be/sports/football/diablesrouges/benteke-se-retrouve-dans-une-impasse-621ceb7e9978e25398cf71f7) have hinted that Christian Benteke could leave Selhurst Park this summer, and if he does, Pedro could turn out to be a shrewd replacement for the Belgian.
