According to a report by Football Transfer on Friday November 13, 2026, Pedro Neto has reaffirmed his commitment to Chelsea, dismissing suggestions that he could consider a lucrative transfer to Saudi Arabia despite reported interest from clubs in the Middle East.

The Portuguese international attracted considerable transfer attention during the summer, with Chelsea reportedly willing to entertain offers following the arrival of fellow countryman Geovany Quenda from Sporting CP.

Liverpool, Manchester City and several Saudi Arabian clubs were linked with the winger. However, none of the interested parties were prepared to meet Chelsea's €120 million (£100 million) valuation, allowing Neto to remain at Stamford Bridge.

The 26-year-old has subsequently become an important member of Xabi Alonso's squad, starting nine of Chelsea's first 10 Premier League matches and scoring three goals this season.

His growing importance has also affected Estevao Willian's opportunities, with the Brazilian youngster finding it difficult to secure regular playing time. Neto's impressive performances were rewarded with a new contract in September, keeping him at Chelsea until 2032.

Speaking to Portuguese newspaper O Jogo while representing his country, Neto was asked whether a substantial financial offer from Saudi Arabia could tempt him into leaving Chelsea.

The winger made his position clear, insisting that his attention remains entirely focused on the London club.

“I'm attracted to Chelsea. My head is only here. The club has shown me affection, given me everything, and I'm very grateful for that. I don't think about other scenarios,” Neto explained.

Neto also praised Alonso's influence since taking charge, highlighting the Spaniard's tactical understanding, experience and determination to establish a winning mentality within the squad.

“He tries to pass on a lot of what he was as a player and, as we know, he was an elite player. He has very clear ideas and tactically the team has improved a lot under him,” Neto said.

The winger further explained that Alonso's previous achievements and experiences at different clubs have helped introduce stronger winning ambitions. He believes the Chelsea players have embraced the manager's determination to compete for major honours.

According to Neto, the squad is hungry for victories and motivated to win trophies, with Alonso's winning mentality encouraging everyone to raise their performances.

Discussing Chelsea's ambitions, the Portuguese forward admitted that winning the Premier League remains the club's biggest objective, although he recognises the difficulties involved in competing for the title.

He explained that the competitiveness of English football makes it difficult to predict the eventual champions until the closing stages of the campaign.

Neto also recalled how Chelsea occupied first place around January two seasons ago before eventually finishing fourth, highlighting the importance of maintaining consistency throughout the competition.

He therefore believes the team must concentrate on individual matches rather than becoming distracted by the league standings, insisting that Chelsea should approach the campaign one game at a time.
