Pedro Neto has committed his long-term future to Chelsea after signing a new contract that will keep him at Stamford Bridge until June 2032. The Portugal international joined from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2024 and has made 108 appearances for the club, contributing 40 goals and assists across all competitions.
The 26-year-old had been linked with a possible move away during the summer, but Chelsea have moved to secure one of Xabi Alonso’s key attacking players on improved terms. Neto’s previous contract was due to expire in 2031, and the new agreement adds an extra year to his stay in west London.
“It’s an unbelievable moment for me and my family,” Neto said. “I’m very happy to sign a new contract with Chelsea. I’ve loved every minute since I arrived and I’m excited for what we can achieve together in the years ahead.”
Neto has made a strong start under Alonso, featuring in every Chelsea match this season. He has already scored twice, including the decisive sixth goal in Wednesday’s dramatic 6–3 Carabao Cup victory over Leeds United, when Chelsea overturned a two-goal half-time deficit.
The winger played an important part in Chelsea’s UEFA Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup victories in 2025. He scored three times during the Club World Cup campaign and established himself as a versatile option, capable of playing across the front line as a winger, false nine, number 10 or wing-back.
Neto’s extension follows a major summer of investment at Chelsea. Morgan Rogers joined from Aston Villa for a British-record £117 million, while Maxence Lacroix completed a £52 million move from Crystal Palace and signed a contract through 2032.
Lacroix brings Premier League experience and tactical flexibility to Alonso’s defence after two seasons under Oliver Glasner at Crystal Palace. The France international made 98 appearances for Palace, all as a starter, and helped the club keep 35 clean sheets.
Chelsea’s summer business also included the arrivals of Marco Palestra, Pep Chavarría, Geovany Quenda and Emmanuel Emegha, while the club raised significant funds through player sales. Enzo Fernández joined Manchester City in a £125 million deal, matching the British transfer-record fee received for a player.
For Neto, the new contract ends immediate uncertainty about his future and confirms his place in Alonso’s project. With Chelsea targeting domestic improvement and a return to major European competition, the Portugal international will remain a central part of the club’s attacking plans through the end of the decade.
