Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal have come to an agreement with Chelsea winger Pedro Neto on personal terms over a potential summer transfer.
Chelsea have not closed the door on selling Neto this summer, with them well-stocked when it comes to options out wide for the upcoming campaign.
Estevao Willian, Geovany Quenda, Jamie Gittens and Morgan Rogers can all play in the wide areas, with Mykhailo Mudryk another option the club were not expecting to have this season.
Chelsea’s Pedro Neto agrees personal terms with Al Hilal
Chelsea were initially seen to be asking for big money to sell Neto this summer, with Manchester City the side showing the most interest.
However, Sacha Tavolieri has stated that Neto has agreed personal terms with Al Hilal, and Chelsea are only looking for around £52m to let him go.

He said: “Al Hilal have reached an agreement with Pedro Neto on personal terms! Chelsea FC now open to sell Neto and would want around €60M to let him leave.
“Al Hilal are confident to get a full agreement with Chelsea. Talks ongoing.”
Chelsea were holding out for £80m for City to sign him, however this may have been an inflated price to sell him to a Premier League rival.
There may have been an extra desire to keep hold of the Portugal international after seeing him feature in the wing-back position during pre-season.
However, a move to Al Hilal will see him link-up with international teammate Ruben Neves, as well as Kalidou Koulibaly and Karim Benzema.
