The transfer window continues for Chelsea. Although the Blues cannot finalize the arrival of Samu Omorodion, another recruit was made official this Sunday by the London club. An arrival that would be reluctant for the latter.
If Chelsea’s squad is already made up of an impressive number of players, this does not seem to bother the Blues, who are continuing their transfer window. Thus, the 2021 Europa League champion made official this Sunday the arrival of Pedro Neto from Wolverhampton. An arrival for an amount around €60M, the Portuguese right winger has signed for seven seasons with the Blues. However, the latter has not taken this transfer in the most positive way possible.
Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs has spoken out about the departure, revealing Pedro Neto’s distress at leaving Wolverhampton.As hard as it was for us, I think it was even harder for Pedro. He cried all morning at training camp, I don’t think Pedro wanted to leave Wolverhampton. “, he said. A reluctant departure, for a deal that the Wolves could not refuse, always according to the words of their sporting director.
Wolverhampton therefore loses one of the key players in its squad. Having arrived in 2019 from Lazio, Pedro Neto has taken on the role of a key player in the English squad. More than 100 Premier League games under his belt for the Portuguese, who still brings in €60 million to his former club. A significant sum that Wolves will have to intelligently reinvest if they want to have a successful season in the championship.
