Liverpool has reportedly reached out to finalize an unexpected deal for Chelsea’s Pedro Neto, according to a recent report. Chelseatransfer news

The 26-year-old gained attention for his impressive performances with Wolverhampton Wanderers. After being impressed by his skills, Chelsea opted to sign him for a substantial fee a few years back.

Currently, Neto has become a vital player at Stamford Bridge, contributing to his team’s victories in the Club World Cup and the Conference League. In his debut season, he recorded 17 goal contributions, followed by 10 goals and an equal number of assists last season.

Having demonstrated his capabilities in club football, Neto earned a spot in Portugal’s World Cup squad, aiding his nation in reaching the knockout rounds.

According to a recent report (via TEAMtalk), following the departure of Mohamed Salah, Liverpool is contemplating the acquisition of several wingers, despite having already signed Victor Muñoz from Osasuna. TEAMtalknews subscription

Initially, they targeted Yan Diomande, but he opted to join Paris Saint-Germain. After missing out on the RB Leipzig player, the Reds turned their attention to Bradley Barcola, but Paris Saint-Germain is unwilling to let him go.

Consequently, Liverpool has been compelled to delve deeper into their wishlist and has pinpointed Neto as a viable option. The Merseyside club has already engaged in discussions with the player’s agent, Jorge Mendes, regarding a potential transfer, with the forward expressing interest in a move to Anfield.

However, Neto is valued at approximately £51m by Transfermarkt and has a contract that runs until 2031. Therefore, Chelsea is expected to demand a significant fee for his transfer. Chelseatransfer news

The report also indicates that Liverpool has identified Manchester City player Savinho as a potential alternative should they fail to secure the Portuguese player from Stamford Bridge.

The 26-year-old is a flexible left-footed forward, adept on both wings. He possesses speed and strength, is capable of generating chances for his teammates, and puts in significant effort when not in possession.

Neto has faced fitness challenges during his time at Wolves but appears to have resolved those concerns. While he is undoubtedly a skilled player, he is often viewed as inconsistent.

As a result, it would be quite unexpected if Liverpool were to officially express their interest in acquiring him this summer.
