Chelsea FC has secured a major coup in the transfer market, agreeing to sign highly-rated forward Pedro Neto from Wolverhampton Wanderers for a staggering £53.9m.
The 24-year-old Portuguese international is set to undergo a medical before completing his move to Stamford Bridge, bringing an end to a year of speculation surrounding his future at Molineux.
Neto, who has been a key player for Wolves since joining from Lazio in 2019, has made 135 appearances for the club, scoring 14 goals. His impressive form has caught the eye of Chelsea boss, who has been keen to bolster his attacking options.
The deal, which includes an initial fee of £51.2m plus £2.7m in add-ons, marks a significant investment for Chelsea, who have been actively seeking to strengthen their squad this summer.
Neto’s arrival is expected to provide a major boost to Chelsea’s attacking prowess, and fans will be eagerly awaiting his debut at Stamford Bridge.
The transfer is subject to Neto passing his medical and obtaining the necessary clearance, but Chelsea are confident of completing the deal in the coming days.
