Chelsea set eye-watering Pedro Neto asking price amid Saudi links | OneFootball

Portuguese could still leave west London before Deadline Day - but he won’t move cheaply

It is understood the Blues value the winger at nearly £100m and are loath to sell him otherwise.

Standard Sport has previously reported that Chelsea are not actively looking to sell the 26-year-old this summer. It was reported last month that the club were yet to hold any concrete talks over the player’s sale.

He has featured prominently in pre-season since returning from his post-World Cup break. He started all five matches for Portugal as they exited the tournament in the last-16, managing no goals and one assist.

Chelsea are yet to receive a formal bid for the player this summer. Reports last month that Tottenham had enquired about Neto’s availability were disputed by sources close to both clubs.

Xabi Alonso trialled Neto in a new role as they closed out their pre-season campaign with victory over Real Sociedad, using the player as a right wing-back in a back-three system. It remains to be seen whether that could become a permanent role for the player this season.

Neto joined Chelsea from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2024, moving for £54m and signing a seven-year contract. He has since made 103 appearances for the club, tallying 19 goals and 19 assists.

He was a fixture in the Chelsea side through the turbulent 2025/26 campaign, making 52 appearances.
