Arsenal is considering joining the race to sign Pedro Neto, the 26-year-old Portuguese winger from Chelsea, this summer. The Arsenal transfer market is focused on acquiring a top striker after losing the opportunity to sign Vinícius, who renewed with Real Madrid.

According to journalist Simon Phillips, the Emirates Stadium club is closely monitoring the Portuguese international, valued by Stamford Bridge at a minimum of £60 million (£70 million euros) for negotiations, while Manchester City is preparing an offer around £70 million (£81-83 million euros).

Chelsea's Stance on Pedro Neto's Market Value

Neto signed with Chelsea in August 2024 and has a contract running until June 2031, with a market value set at €60.00 million. The Stamford Bridge board is not actively looking to sell the 26-year-old forward, but executives are willing to entertain offers starting at £60 million.

The arrivals of Morgan Rogers and Geovany Quenda in this 2026 market have increased competition on the wings of the blue attack. Journalist Graeme Bailey reported that the Portuguese player is evaluating his role in the squad and considering options for his sporting future if a suitable offer materializes.

Competition Between Arsenal and Manchester City in the Premier League

Arsenal's interest in the Portuguese winger aims to enhance the offensive rotation led by Mikel Arteta, although it is not the absolute priority of the sporting direction. However, the 26-year-old forward finds the prospect of joining the Gunner's project to compete for a starting position in the Premier League appealing.

Meanwhile, Manchester City remains in the race for the Portuguese international and is preparing a formal offer close to £70 million (£81-83 million euros). This amount meets the economic ambitions set by Chelsea's leadership to authorize the player's transfer before the end of the transfer window.

Arsenal will assess during the second week of August 2026 whether to make an initial economic offer that matches the demands of the Blues' leadership. If Arsenal or Manchester City reach £60 million, Pedro Neto's agents will initiate direct contract negotiations to finalize his transfer before the close of the summer market.
