Brighton & Hove Albion's Joao Pedro

Igor Julio has urged his Brighton & Hove Albion team-mate Joao Pedro to join Liverpool if he gets the opportunity, revealing he has always dreamed of playing for the Reds himself.

Arne Slot’s side are expected to be in the market for a new striker this summer, and have found themselves loosely linked with the Seagulls forward throughout the current campaign.

Pedro joined Brighton in a £30m move from Watford in 2023 and has scored 30 goals from 70 appearances for the club over the past two seasons.



But the 23-year-old is now set to move on and has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs.

Brighton defender Julio has revealed that his team-mate will leave Brighton this summer following talks with club bosses.

And while he admitted that Pedro would favour a move to London, the 27-year-old centre-back instead urged the forward to consider a switch to Anfield instead.

“Joao Pedro had already told Brighton some time ago that his desire was to leave, seek new things, take the next step,” Igor told Trivela, as quoted by Sports Mole.

He's been here in England for five years and hasn't played for a big team yet.

It's his moment, his time, so he can make the best decision and be happy wherever he is.

“He always told me that he really wants to live in London, so I think he will prioritise what comes from there first.”

He continued: “I told [Pedro] that he has to think about what he wants from his career.

In my opinion, if I were going to a ‘Big Six’ team, I would go to a team that fights for the Premier League, plays in the Champions League and is always in a position to win.

“I would go to a Liverpool team and I think he would fit in perfectly at Liverpool.

“It's because I've always dreamed of playing for Liverpool and I would go there.”
