Pedro Neto reaffirms Chelsea commitment amid Saudi transfer links
The Portugal international, whose contract runs until 2032, also praised manager Xabi Alonso’s tactical approach.
Pedro Neto has rejected speculation about a move to the Saudi Pro League, telling O Jogo that his focus remains on Chelsea. The 26-year-old winger extended his deal with the club during the summer, committing until 2032.
Asked whether a more lucrative Saudi contract would appeal to him, Neto said he was grateful for Chelsea’s support and was not considering alternatives. The Portugal international had been linked with interest from the Middle East before signing his extension.
Neto also credited manager Xabi Alonso with improving Chelsea tactically and bringing a winning mentality that the players had embraced. His comments came despite the club losing four of its first 10 Premier League games of the 2026-27 season.
Alonso has selected Neto to start in each of Chelsea’s past nine league games, using him at wing-back, in wide midfield, on the wing and at center-forward. The former Wolverhampton Wanderers player has recorded 23 goals and provided 20 assists across 116 Chelsea appearances.
