Overview
- Reports published over the weekend and on Monday say Manchester City are exploring a roughly £70 million offer for Pedro Neto after head coach Enzo Maresca identified him as a preferred attacking target.
- Sources say Maresca wants to reunite with Neto because he sees the winger as a tactical fit for his system at City.
- Chelsea are reported to value Neto at about £70 million and are not actively looking to sell but could consider a large, concrete offer that meets that valuation.
- AC Milan are monitoring Neto as a possible replacement if Rafael Leao leaves San Siro and Saudi side Al-Hilal were offered him though a move to the Middle East is described as unlikely.
- Neto is aware of the interest and prefers to stay in Europe but no formal bids or club agreements have been made public and any transfer would hinge on a buyer meeting Chelsea’s asking price.
