Chelsea agree a new long-term contract with winger Pedro Neto, rewarding his early impact for the club. The deal runs for five years and includes an option for a further year, with a reported pay rise.
Neto, a Portugal international, joins the club from Wolverhampton Wanderers and has drawn interest over the summer, including from Manchester City. While other Premier League clubs pursue him, Neto is reported to have indicated a preference to stay and play under Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso.
Across coverage, Neto’s role under Alonso is highlighted as an attacking wing-back/winger, contributing to his output. One outlet notes Neto has scored twice in his first five appearances for Chelsea, with 40 goal involvements since his 2024 move for £54 million. Another source cites club-reported figures, saying Neto has made 108 appearances since joining in August 2024 and has recorded goals and assists totaling 40. Both also frame the renewal as part of Chelsea’s wider pattern of improving terms for key players.
