Al Hilal are showing strong interest in Chelsea winger Pedro Neto as the Saudi Pro League club explore a potential move for the Portugal international.
As of Monday morning, Chelsea have not received an official bid for the 26-year-old, despite Al Hilal stepping up their interest.
Softfootball previously reported that Al Hilal had scheduled new direct talks with Chelsea this week after presenting a financial proposal to Neto and his representatives.
Chelsea are understood to value Neto at close to £100 million, a figure that will be central to any potential negotiations between the two clubs.
Al Hilal have identified Neto as a major attacking target and are now assessing whether they can meet Chelsea’s valuation.
The Saudi club’s interest adds another layer to Neto’s summer situation, with Manchester City also having previously considered the winger but reportedly viewing Chelsea’s asking price as too high.
For now, Chelsea are yet to receive a formal offer, but talks between the clubs are expected to continue this week.
