Chelsea is set to welcome Pedro Neto to Stamford Bridge in a major transfer move!
Wolverhampton Wanderers have accepted a bid worth €60 million plus €3 million in add-ons for the Portuguese winger. This deal almost matches Neto’s initial price tag, signaling a significant investment by Chelsea in their squad.
Neto’s agent, Jorge Mendes, has already finalized personal terms with the Blues, paving the way for the 24-year-old to undergo medical tests at Chelsea. With Wolves keen on Ajax’s Carlos Forbes as a potential replacement, the final steps of Neto’s move are now imminent.
A Brief Career Overview
Pedro Neto has been a standout performer since joining Wolves from Braga in 2019. In his 135 appearances for the club, Neto has netted 14 goals. Despite his talent, injuries have limited his game time, with no season seeing more than 25 appearances since 2020-21.
Neto’s current contract with Wolves runs until the summer of 2027, following a new five-year deal signed in March 2022. His impressive performances have attracted interest from top Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Newcastle United. However, injuries have impacted his consistency, including a significant hamstring issue that kept him out for nine Premier League matches last season.
Chelsea’s Summer Transfer Activity
This move comes as part of Chelsea’s extensive summer spending. The club has already bolstered their squad with the signings of Tosin Adarabioyo from Fulham, Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa, Marc Guiu from Barcelona, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester City, Renato Veiga from Basel, Caleb Wiley from Atlanta United, and Aaron Anselmino from Boca Juniors.
With Pedro Neto set to join their ranks, Chelsea fans can look forward to an exciting new addition to their team. Stay tuned for updates as the deal is finalized and Neto prepares to make his mark at Stamford Bridge!
