British Media: Arsenal and Manchester City Interested in Pedro Neto, Could Move After Winter Window Opens

As one of the most sought-after players in the transfer market, Chelsea winger Pedro Neto continues to feature prominently on major international recruitment lists.

Thanks to his strong performances at the beginning of the 2026/27 season, the experienced player has attracted attention from top European clubs and wealthy teams in the Middle East. Clubs such as Liverpool had already made contact regarding a potential move for Neto during the summer transfer window.

According to a source from CaughtOffside, Premier League title contenders Arsenal and Manchester City, as well as Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal, are among the clubs most interested in Pedro Neto. Inquiries through agents and international intermediaries indicate that the player's name has also appeared on the recruitment agendas of other top European sides.

The player's representatives are maintaining communication with the transfer departments of interested clubs to assess the market situation and make early preparations. Clubs closely monitoring the player are expected to restart formal contact with Chelsea's management during the winter transfer window based on final reports from scouting and data analysis teams.

Mikel Arteta's team are looking for an energetic 'game changer' with proven Premier League ability to reduce the workload on players such as Bukayo Saka in wide-area rotations.

Manchester City hope to strengthen their attacking depth and improve their ability to beat opponents one-on-one from wide areas; Enzo Maresca's team highly appreciate Neto's explosiveness in transitions and his tactical discipline.

Chelsea's management and coaching staff regard Pedro Neto as a valuable asset in the club's current squad-building plans. However, the club remains open to considering offers for the Portugal international.

According to sources within the club, Chelsea's hierarchy values Neto at between 70 million and 80 million euros.

The Portugal international is a highly threatening winger who is adept with his left foot and can perform effectively on both flanks. His explosive acceleration, ability to deliver crosses from the byline, one-on-one dribbling skills in tight spaces, and capacity to create key passes in wide attacking areas are among his notable qualities. He has fully adapted to the physical intensity of the Premier League, its high-tempo transitions and intense challenges, and has the ability to become a major contributor for either Arsenal or Manchester City.
