Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal are eyeing a move to sign Chelsea star Pedro Neto this summer, GIVEMESPORT sources understand.
The Blues have seen a major squad transformation this summer with ten new arrivals for new manager Xabi Alonso, with Morgan Rogers, Maxence Lacroix, Marco Palestra, Pep Chevarria, Danny Welbeck, Jordan, Henderson, Geovany Quenda, Emmanuel Emegha, and Valentin Barco all joining.
The club are now expected to see players depart before the transfer window closes on September 1st, and a number of their top stars are understood to be attracting interest in the final weeks, including the Portugal international.
GIVEMESPORT sources understand that Al Hilal are showing an interest in Neto as they look to strengthen their attack further, having already signed Crysencio Summerville from West Ham earlier in the window for around £68m.
As of Monday morning (August 17), GIVEMESPORT understands that Chelsea have not received a formal bid for the winger from Al Hilal or anyone else. The west London club have also now put a £100m valuation on the 26-year-old, with Neto having a contract at Stamford Bridge that runs until 2031.
Neto has been a regular for Chelsea since joining from Wolves in 2024, racking up an impressive 103 appearances over three seasons, scoring 19 times. He is also expected to be part of Alonso's squad this season should he stay, having featured during pre-season since returning from the World Cup.
In the 2025/26 season, Neto played 34 times in the Premier League, and it's understood that Man City are also showing an interest in the winger, with former boss Enzo Maresca known to be a huge fan.

Chelsea may have a bloated squad heading into the final weeks of the window, but Neto is a player who has proven his worth at the highest level.
He's been picked regularly by several different managers, with Liam Rosenior even describing him as 'world-class' during the most recent campaign.
‘Pedro Neto brings us so many different qualities that we need," he said.
Alongside Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers, Estevao, and Quenda, Chelsea have an abundance of quality options in attack if they keep Neto in the squad, but a major offer could be enough to convince them to do business before the deadline.
