Pedro Neto Commits Long-Term Future to Chelsea

Pedro Neto has committed his long-term future to Chelsea, signing a new contract that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2032. The Portuguese international was linked with a move away during the summer transfer window, with Manchester City and Al-Hilal reportedly showing interest. However, Neto has been in impressive form since the start of the new season, already bagging two goals despite occasionally featuring as a wing-back. In his two years at Stamford Bridge, he has made 108 appearances and scored 21 goals to date.

“This is an incredible moment. Ever since I arrived, I’ve always felt that the people here have helped me immensely. I feel at home and I want to achieve so much more here. I’ve already experienced many great moments and I want to live through many more. I’m very excited because I believe we can achieve great things together,” Neto told Chelsea’s official website.

Xabi Alonso also expressed his satisfaction with the Portuguese player's new deal.

“For me, he is a winger. You can call him a winger or a wing-back because he possesses so many qualities. He can play in advanced positions. He has the ability to do many things on the pitch. He’s strong in one-on-one situations, scores goals, and works incredibly hard. He gels excellently with the other players. You know he always gives his all in every battle. You want players like that in your team. I am very pleased with the work he is doing,” Alonso stated.
