Chelsea set £100m asking price for Pedro Neto amid transfer links
Chelsea have placed a staggering £100m valuation on Pedro Neto to deter potential suitors before the summer transfer window closes.
The Stamford Bridge hierarchy are understood to be highly reluctant to part ways with the Portuguese winger.
As a result, they will refuse to entertain any offers that fall short of their massive asking price.
Soaring market dictates valuation
The Blues are not actively looking to offload the 26-year-old over the coming weeks.
He has remained a prominent figure in the club’s pre-season preparations following his return from a post-World Cup break.
However, the London side’s steep valuation has been heavily influenced by an increasingly inflated market for wide forwards across European football.
Rival clubs circle the dynamic attacker
Several wealthy clubs have been closely monitoring the international forward throughout the current window.
Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal have recently been credited with a strong interest in securing his signature.
He was also heavily linked with Premier League rivals Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur earlier in the summer.
Despite the mounting speculation, it appears it would take a monumental financial package to prize him away from West London.
