Despite the interest, Chelsea’s new manager Xabi Alonso has voiced genuine enthusiasm for Neto, viewing him as part of the club’s plans for the coming season. As a result, Chelsea aren’t actively shopping the 24-year-old. That said, the club would consider listening to a substantial bid before the transfer window closes, should a mammoth offer land on their desk.
How Neto views his Chelsea future
According to reporting in the press, Neto isn’t actively pushing for a move away from Stamford Bridge. He is, however, weighing his long-term prospects in light of Chelsea’s aggressive recruitment drive this summer. The squad already boasts several options on the right flank, including Morgan Rogers, Geovany Quenda, and Estevao Willian, providing competition and flexibility for Neto.
Chelsea have reportedly set a £68 million asking price for Neto, a figure higher than the £54 million they paid Wolves. In the 2025/26 season across all competitions, Neto contributed 10 goals and 10 assists in 52 appearances (43 starts), finishing as Chelsea’s top assist provider across all competitions.
Potential replacements for Pedro Neto
Chelsea have been linked with various targets to strengthen the wide areas should Neto depart. Among the primary options were Kerim Alajbegovic, an 18-year-old winger who ultimately chose Juventus. Other names in Chelsea’s scouting remit include PSG youngster Ibrahim Mbaye and RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande, though nothing has been finalized.
If a move doesn’t materialize, Chelsea can rely on internal options like Geovany Quenda, Morgan Rogers, Cole Palmer, and Estevao to bolster the wide plays. These alternatives would help maintain depth and tactical versatility across the flanks as Alonso shapes his preferred system for the upcoming campaign.
