Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Pedro Neto from Wolverhampton Wanderers for a fee reported to be around £54 million, including add-ons. The announcement was made during the half-time of Chelsea’s pre-season friendly against Inter at Stamford Bridge.
“I’m really grateful to join this club,” Neto said. “I’ve worked hard to reach this point, and I’m excited to play in this shirt.”
At 24, Neto began his senior career at Braga and had a two-year loan spell at Lazio from the age of 17. His move to Wolves in 2019 marked the start of a notable career, where he made 135 appearances, helped Wolves finish seventh in the Premier League, and reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League in his debut season.
