Chelsea winger Pedro Neto has reached an agreement on personal terms with Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal.
Journalist Sacha Tavolieri has revealed that talks are now ongoing between both clubs to agree to a transfer fee.
Chelsea are open to selling the 26-year-old forward, and want £51 million to sanction his exit.
He has been at Stamford Bridge since 2024 and has made 103 appearances for the Blues.
The Portugal international has emerged as a concrete option for the Saudi giants, despite attracting interest from Manchester City and Liverpool.
Al-Hilal are confident about signing the former Wolverhampton Wanderers man this summer.
They are preparing to lose Brazilian winger Malcom, and have decided to bring in the Chelsea man as a replacement.
Neto’s former Wolves teammate and compatriot Ruben Neves is a key player for Al-Hilal, and may have convinced him to join them.
He was a key player for Chelsea last season, playing recording 13 goals and ten assists in 58 appearances.
Neto has played only once in pre-season under manager Xabi Alonso, having spent most of the summer at the FIFA World Cup and then on vacation.
The Blues have youngsters Estevao and Geovany Quenda as options on the right wing, meaning they can cash in on Neto.
