Chelsea rewards Pedro Neto with new contract after impressive form

Chelsea have rewarded Portuguese winger Pedro Neto for his impressive performances with the team by handing him a new five-year contract, with an option for an additional year, according to the Guardian.

The move comes in recognition of Pedro Neto's strong start under manager Xabi Alonso, as the player has scored two goals in five matches this season and has made a significant contribution to the team's attack since arriving at Stamford Bridge from Wolverhampton in 2024.

According to the same source, Neto will also receive an increase in his salary after opting to remain with Chelsea despite Manchester City's interest in signing him in the past period, confirming his commitment to the club's project under Alonso.

This move is part of Chelsea's policy to retain the core elements of the team with long-term contracts, after the club recently renewed the contracts of several of its players, as part of building a team capable of competing strongly in the coming years.
