Chelsea Open To Pedro Neto Sale As Liverpool, Manchester City Monitor Situation

By Okiki Oluwasegun

Chelsea are reportedly willing to consider offers for Portuguese winger Pedro Neto if the right opportunity arises, with Liverpool and Manchester City both keeping tabs on his future ahead of the new season.

The 26-year-old joined the Blues from Wolverhampton Wanderers in a transfer worth more than £50 million two years ago.

However, his time at Stamford Bridge has been marked by inconsistency, injuries, and frequent managerial changes, making it difficult for him to establish himself as a regular starter.

Despite those setbacks, Neto has shown flashes of the quality that made him one of the Premier League's most exciting wide players.

His strongest performances came under Enzo Maresca, who is now reportedly keen on working with the winger again following his move to Manchester City.

Liverpool are also believed to be monitoring Neto's situation as they continue to strengthen their attacking options. Meanwhile, interest from Saudi Arabia has not faded, with clubs from the region still keeping a close watch on the Portugal international.

Although Chelsea are not actively pushing Neto toward the exit, the club believes the current transfer market could allow them to secure a sizeable profit should a suitable bid arrive.

The growing demand for top-class wingers across Europe has driven transfer fees higher this summer.

Neto is currently absent from Chelsea's pre-season tour in Australia after representing Portugal at the World Cup and has been granted additional time off.

Elsewhere, young winger Geovany Quenda is expected to join the squad after recovering from a minor injury, while new striker Emmanuel Emegha continues his rehabilitation from a hamstring problem before returning to full training.
