The Blues spend like no club before! Even Man City and Paris Saint-Germain, from their best, or better said, most extravagant days, would envy Chelsea, which have splashed out 1.3 billion euros on reinforcements since June 2022! London side’s latest acquisition is Pedro Neto. The 24-year-old winger arrives at Stamford Bridge from Wolverhampton in a transfer worth 60 million euros plus three million worth of add-ons and has signed a seven-year deal.It’s official. ✍️ pic.twitter.com/AbvLnYrwDg— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) August 11, 2024 Neto will undoubtedly represent a reinforcement to Enzo Maresca’s squad, but there is a big question mark hanging over him for one particular reason – injuries. Namely, the winger made 24 appearances last season for the Wolves, noting three goals and 11 assists, but more importantly, he missed as many as 18 games due to hamstring tear. Moreover, throughout the past four seasons, Neto missed 102 matches – or around 50% of all the matches he could’ve played if you want – because of injuries.Not again: Chelsea in for Osimhen but with a twistNeto has become Chelsea’s ninth signing in this transfer window after Caleb Wiley, Tosin Adarabioyo, Filip Jorgensen, Aaron Anselmino, Marc Guiu, Renato Veiga, Omari Kellyman, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. The Portuguese could debut in seven days when his new team hosts Man City in the first round of the Premier League. Additionally, he could face his former club, Wolverhampton, only two weeks after leaving, on August 25, when Chelsea plays the Wolves at Molineux Stadium.##NAJAVA_MECA_8262779##
