Softfootball has gathered that Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal have registered genuine interest in Chelsea winger Pedro Neto, with the Portuguese international placed on a three-man shortlist as the club searches for another major attacking addition.
The Saudi giants are exploring the possibility of bringing Neto to the Middle East, although the feasibility of the move will depend heavily on Chelsea’s valuation of the 26-year-old.
Neto remains an important attacking option at Stamford Bridge, and Chelsea are expected to demand a substantial fee before considering his departure. Manchester City previously viewed the winger as a potential target earlier in the summer window but reportedly considered the asking price too expensive.
Al Hilal’s financial strength could put them in a stronger position to test Chelsea’s resolve, but there is currently no indication that the Blues are actively seeking to sell the Portuguese attacker.
Al Hilal’s interest forms part of their wider recruitment strategy as they continue targeting high-profile players capable of competing for major domestic and continental honours.
For now, the Portuguese winger remains firmly part of Chelsea’s plans, but Al Hilal’s interest could develop further if they decide to make a formal approach and meet the Premier League club’s valuation.
