It seems that it does not matter for Chelsea to have more than 40 players in the team. From the Stamford Bridge offices they do not take their feet off the accelerator and They signed Pedro Neto to strengthen the offensive plot. He comes from Wolves in exchange for 60 million euros, Does not include variants, such as the second most expensive sale in its history only behind compatriot Mateus Nunes. The signature is until 2030.
Pedro Neto trained in the youth categories of Braga , arrived at Molino in the summer of 2019 for 18 million euros and became One of the most balanced wards in the Premier League Thanks to verticality, strength and aggressiveness. A real road runner who comes from signing his best season at the character level: Three goals and 10 assists.
The qualities that led him to make his debut for Portugal in 2020 and that led Bob Martinez to include him in the squad list at the last European Championship, where he was an important player who revolutionized matches from the bench. At the age of 24, he has 10 internationals.
Their conditions have been screaming for a long time Jump to the next level Away from the Wolves. If he had not arrived before, it was because of the lack of continuity that does not allow him with his constant physical problems. This is the last season, without going any further, He suffered muscle injuries that kept him out of the stadiums for 125 days.
Initially, he arrived in Chelsea in order to Strengthen the right band And try to fight for a place in Mariska’s eleven with Madwick, One of the most notable players in the beginning of the Blue season who is finally starting to find continuity.
However, in England they point out that his signature responds to The impossibility of integrating Nico Williams To occupy the left band with no clear owner given the level of Modric and Sterling.
The position Pedro Neto occupied in 44 matches throughout his career… Despite the fact that Your most productive copy has come to the right, Where he was born Two more goals (13)in eight fewer matches (36).
Probably, an expensive luxury for a football player who is not a specialist in such a demarcation. Nothing new for Chelsea who continue to accumulate talent and will have to start thinking about repairing the changing rooms at Stamford Bridge. With the signing of Pedro Neto there are already 44 players in the squad… And boarding.
