Pedro Neto: Chelsea winger says his future remains at Stamford Bridge

Pedro Neto says he has no plans to leave Chelsea and insists his “head is only here” despite reported interest from Saudi Pro League clubs and leading European sides.

The Portugal international was linked with a possible departure after Chelsea agreed to sign Geovany Quenda from Sporting CP. However, Chelsea set an asking price of 120 million euros for Neto, who is 26, and none of the interested clubs were willing to meet that valuation.

Neto has subsequently made a strong start to the Premier League season, scoring three goals in nine starts during Chelsea’s first 10 fixtures.

His regular involvement has established him as an important part of manager Xabi Alonso’s team, although it has reduced the opportunities available to young Brazilian winger Estevao Willian.

“I’m attracted to Chelsea. My head is only here,” Neto said.

“The club has shown me affection, given me everything, and I’m very grateful for that. I don’t think about other scenarios.”

Chelsea also underlined their belief in Neto by offering him a new contract in September. The agreement extended his stay at Stamford Bridge until 2032.
