Forward linked with Sporting close to joining Viana at City for €80m | OneFootball

Pedro Neto, who had already been linked with Sporting in this transfer window, could be involved in one of the biggest deals of the summer market. The Portuguese international is on Manchester City’s radar, with the club preparing to move forward with an €80 million offer.

According to The Sun, the English club is willing to make another major investment to strengthen the squad and has identified the Chelsea winger as one of its priorities. The 26-year-old would reunite with Enzo Maresca, whom he worked with at Stamford Bridge between the summer of 2024 and January of this year.

Manchester City are not alone in the race, however. Milan, managed by Ruben Amorim, are also closely monitoring Pedro Neto’s situation and could try to submit an offer to secure the Portuguese international.

The winger was at one point linked with Sporting during this transfer window, but the signing was never seen as viable by the Lions’ board. A potential move to Manchester City or the Italian side would once again rule out the possibility of a return to Portugal, given the high figures involved.

Pedro Neto was signed by Chelsea from Wolverhampton in 2024 for €60 million. Since then, he has become one of the standout figures in the London side, recording 19 goals and 19 assists in 103 official appearances, in addition to representing Portugal at the 2026 World Cup.
