Chelsea slap huge asking price on Saudi-linked Pedro Neto

Chelsea are demanding a significant fee for winger Pedro Neto amid reported interest from Saudi Pro League clubs, according to reports.

The Blues have reportedly placed a huge asking price on the Portugal international as they look to fend off approaches or secure a substantial return for the versatile wide man.

Neto has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, with clubs from the region understood to be monitoring his situation closely. Chelsea, however, are said to be unwilling to let the former Wolves star leave on the cheap, setting a valuation designed to reflect his quality and the investment made in bringing him to Stamford Bridge.

While no formal agreement has been reached, the news underlines Chelsea's determination to dictate the terms of any potential departure this summer. The outcome of the saga is likely to hinge on whether interested Saudi suitors are prepared to meet the club's demands.
