Chelsea blow Tottenham, Man City away with agreement to sign £54m man Pedro Neto
Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Chelsea have come to an agreement over the signing of Pedro Neto, after personal terms were earlier agreed with his agent.
Chelsea have signed a number of first-team wingers in the past few transfer windows. Since the summer of 2022, they have brought in Raheem Sterling, Mykhaylo Mudryk, Noni Madueke and Cole Palmer.
Yet Todd Boehly, who has spent £1billion in that time, becoming chairman in 2022, never seems satisfied with what he has got.
As such, Chelsea have raced out of nowhere to agree to sign Wolves winger Neto. According to transfer insider Romano, the Blues firstly reached an agreement with his agent, Jorge Mendes, over the signing, before Wolves agreed to sell the winger.
Earlier reports priced him at £60million, but Romano states that the entire fee will be closer to £54million.
Despite there having been essentially no links between them and Neto, Romano states the Wolves man, who bagged three goals and 11 assists in all competitions last season, emerged as ‘top of the list’ for a new winger.
