Press reports confirmed the existence of great interest from Manchester City club and its coach Enzo Maresca in signing the Portuguese winger Pedro Neto from Chelsea's ranks during the current summer transfer window.
Chelsea is open to the idea of selling the Portuguese winger this summer for 80 million euros, especially after the Blues spent huge sums this summer, most notably the Morgan Rogers deal for 117 million pounds sterling.
Manchester City targets Chelsea winger
The English network "CaughtOffside" noted that although Neto is not among the players Chelsea wants to offload, there is openness to negotiating his sale if the price is right.
It seems that Enzo Maresca, who previously coached Chelsea and achieved a remarkable run with them, remains an admirer of the player, so he will do his utmost to bring him to Manchester City in the coming period.
Matters have not yet reached advanced stages, but there appears to be serious movement, which could come in the form of an initial inquiry soon, as Manchester City is also expected to seek the opinions of Enzo Fernández and Malo Gusto.
Omar Marmoush's fate in jeopardy
However, Manchester City needs an additional option in the winger position, as they are likely to sell Savinho this summer, while Omar Marmoush is another player whose future may be uncertain due to his lack of playing time.
Last season 2025/2026 saw Pep Guardiola reduce his reliance on the Egyptian international in matches, raising questions about his future with the team.
Marmoush has received significant interest in recent months from Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, but without any official move, especially as the deal could be worth 60 million euros.
