Pedro Neto reportedly rejected Manchester City

According to the Guardian, Neto actually rejected interest from Manchester City, who ended up signing his former Chelsea teammate Enzo Fernandez.

The 26-year-old was also of interest to other unnamed Premier League clubs, according to the report, but it seems he was keen to stay and play under Xabi Alonso.

Interestingly, the report notes that Neto has mostly been used as a wing-back under Alonso, so it could be that he’s been won round to adjusting to a new role that could help cement his place in the starting line up.
