Getting Joao Pedro this fast just for the Club World Cup could totally backfire for Chelsea. I've seen teams rush signings hoping to make an impact in big tournaments, but it doesn't always work. Joao Pedro is talented, no doubt, but coming into a new team and having to quickly fit in with Chelsea's style and teammates isn't easy.
One problem? He might need more time to actually feel comfortable, especially with all that pressure from such a huge price tag. I remember when big clubs rushed to get Morata, and he couldn't settle in. Fans turned on him so fast. If Joao Pedro doesn't score or impress right away, people will be like, "Why did we spend so much?"
Also, bringing in a new star can mess up the team mood. Other players might feel threatened, or it might throw off their game plan. Plus, if Chelsea spends that much on him and it doesn't pay off, it's gonna look embarrassing for the club directors. So yeah, I think they should think twice before rushing a transfer just because of one tournament. Sometimes patience pays off.
