"Barcelona brought in Marcus Rashford on loan from Man United in the summer, and although he has started well in Catalonia, there are doubts about whether he will be signed on a permanent basis. Instead, a winger that can operate on both wings could be brought in instead to compete with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha and that player could end up being Pedro Neto."
"According to Fichajes, Barcelona are interested in signing Neto, with sporting director Deco said to be a big fan of his fellow Portuguese. Given that he is only 25, it is believed that he would also be staying at the Spotify Camp Nou in his prime years, which is another tick towards the club's checklist. Chelsea value Neto highly themselves, with the former Wolves man having been a regular starter for Enzo Maresca this season."
Chelsea may remain active in the 2026 transfer market and could sell a player to Barcelona, with a Champions League meeting providing a scouting chance. Barcelona loaned Marcus Rashford but may instead pursue a versatile winger to compete with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, and Pedro Neto fits that profile. Sporting director Deco reportedly admires Neto, who is 25 and would be in his prime at Camp Nou. Neto has been a regular starter under Enzo Maresca, scoring four Premier League goals and providing two assists. Chelsea value Neto at about £80m, which Barcelona may not afford.
