Manchester City have reportedly opened early talks over a potential move for Chelsea winger Pedro Neto, with direct contact made between the club and his representatives, according to EPL Index.

The report suggests City's interest could hinge on the future of Savinho, with the Brazilian's potential departure from the Etihad viewed as a factor that might open the door for a fresh attacking addition.

While talks are said to be at an early stage, the update indicates City are exploring options in the wide areas and see Neto as a candidate worth monitoring should their squad situation change.

No further details on valuation, contract terms, or Chelsea's stance have been reported, and the story remains firmly in the realm of transfer speculation rather than an advanced or concrete deal.
