Chelsea have reportedly reached an agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers to sign winger Pedro Neto. The Blues will pay around £54 million, with an additional £2.5 million in potential add-ons. Neto is expected to complete his medical in the coming days, with personal terms not anticipated to be an issue.
The 24-year-old winger, who has been with Wolves since 2019, was limited to 20 Premier League appearances last season due to hamstring injuries but remains a highly regarded player. This move marks Chelsea’s tenth signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Tosin Adarabioyo, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and several other players.
Meanwhile, Wolves are already planning to replace Neto, with reports suggesting they are targeting Ajax winger Carlos Forbs as his successor. Forbs, who joined Ajax from Manchester City last August, has made 35 first-team appearances, scoring three goals and providing five assists. Wolves have also seen the departure of their captain, Max Kilman, who joined West Ham for £40 million last month.
