Chelsea winger Pedro Neto is wanted by Man City, but so far Enzo Maresca’s team isn’t making it worth our while with their offers.

There are a number of players at Chelsea who are very likely to leave this summer. Largely they are the same players we’ve been trying to shift for a year or more.

But there are others who we will consider selling – they aren’t on the “untouchable” list – but aren’t really up for sale except for at an exceptional price.

That’s the situation with Pedro Neto –  moving him on in not in the plan this summer, but we won’t say no to a really big offer. So far, we’ve not had one. We know Manchester City are interested, but so far they’re not offering enough to engage in proper talks.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has just Tweeted that there’s a “significant gap in valuation” between what City are offering and what Chelsea want. The fact that Chelsea “do not plan to reduce their requests” mean that a move looks pretty unlikely right now.

Now we wait to see if City are ready to put things up a notch with a new approach for the Portuguese.

In other news…

The Blues are working hard to sign players as well as sell them – they just announced a deal to bring in Pep Chavarria from Rayo Vallecano.
