Man City Open Direct Contact With Pedro Neto
City’s outreach is conditional on a Savinho sale, with Chelsea’s asking price set to decide whether the talks advance.
Overview
- Reports on Wednesday say Manchester City have made direct contact with Pedro Neto’s representatives to explore a possible move to the club.
- City have identified Neto as a replacement only if Savinho leaves for Tottenham, and Tottenham have also listed Neto as an alternative target.
- No formal bids have been lodged so far because any move hinges on Savinho’s future and on Chelsea setting a transfer fee.
- Neto is currently with Chelsea on preseason in Hong Kong, is under contract to 2031, and is valued around £51m by Transfermarkt while some outlets report Chelsea could demand roughly £70m.
- What to watch next is whether Spurs press their reported deadline for Savinho, whether City secure a replacement, and whether Chelsea’s valuation triggers a concrete offer or stalls the linked deals.
