Chelsea set £70m price tag on winger Pedro Neto amid Man City, AC Milan interest

Chelsea have reportedly placed a £70million price tag on Portuguese winger Pedro Neto, according to The Sun. The 26‑year‑old joined the Blues from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2024 for around £51million but managed only five Premier League goals and six assists last season. Chelsea will only sell if they receive an offer in that range before the transfer deadline, with Manchester City and AC Milan reported as interested suitors.

For Nigerian fans who follow the Premier League, Chelsea’s transfer moves influence the league’s competitiveness and the viewing experience. The club’s willingness to sell a high‑priced asset could signal their financial strategy for the window, potentially affecting future signings—including any African targets they might pursue.

Neto previously worked under Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca during Maresca’s stint at Stamford Bridge, adding a tactical link to the reported interest from City. The player’s underwhelming season has raised questions about his fit in Enzo Maresca’s system, should a move to City materialize.

Will Chelsea hold firm at £70m, accept a lower offer, or keep Neto for another season as they reshape their squad for the new campaign?
