Chelsea sets high transfer valuations for Neto and Fernández

Chelsea Football Club has set high transfer valuations for several key players as the summer window nears its close. The club is reportedly demanding close to £100 million for winger Pedro Neto, who has attracted significant interest from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal, as well as Premier League clubs Manchester City, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur. Reports indicate that Neto may have already agreed to personal terms with Al-Hilal, though Chelsea’s high asking price remains a potential obstacle.

In addition to Neto, Chelsea is maintaining a high valuation for midfielder Enzo Fernández, with reports suggesting a demand of over £120 million should Manchester City pursue a deal. The club is also linked to the potential sale of defender Malo Gusto, with Manchester City reportedly making fresh enquiries for the player, though Chelsea is seeking a fee in excess of £70 million.

These moves are part of a broader effort by Chelsea to manage their squad and recoup significant funds following heavy recent spending. The club's strategy involves setting high prices to ensure profitable exits during a period of squad restructuring.
