The competition for the services of Portuguese winger Pedro Neto from Chelsea has intensified, with Manchester City and Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia making strong moves to secure the player. Both clubs have emerged as the frontrunners to finalize the deal during the current transfer window.

According to talkSPORT, Manchester City and Al Hilal are at the top of the list of clubs most interested in signing Neto, after the player previously caught the attention of several top Premier League teams.

Earlier, the newspaper "O Jogo" reported that Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City were all interested in signing the Portuguese winger, before Al Hilal from Saudi Arabia joined the race for his services.
