Man City Open Talks With Pedro Neto Over Potential Transfer

Manchester City have reportedly taken the first step toward signing Chelsea winger Pedro Neto after making direct contact with the player's representatives over a potential transfer.

According to reports, discussions between City and Neto's camp have begun as Pep Guardiola's side considers attacking reinforcements ahead of the new season.

The potential move is understood to depend on the future of Savinho, who has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur. If Savinho leaves the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City could intensify their pursuit of Neto.

Tottenham are also said to be monitoring the Portuguese international as a backup option, meaning both Premier League clubs could be keeping a close eye on the situation.

Any transfer will also depend on Chelsea's valuation of the 25-year-old, with no agreement reached at this stage. Talks are believed to be in the early phases, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester City will submit a formal offer.
