LONDON, ENGLAND — Chelsea have announced that Pedro Neto has signed a new contract that will keep him at Stamford Bridge until 2032, rewarding the Portugal international for his impressive contributions since arriving in west London two years ago.
The 26-year-old joined the Blues from Wolverhampton Wanderers in August 2024 and has quickly become an important player in the team. Since arriving at Chelsea, Neto has made 108 appearances for the club and has been directly involved in 40 goals through his goals and assists, underlining his value as both a creator and a finisher.
Neto played an important role in Chelsea’s success during the 2025 season, helping the club win the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup. He particularly impressed at the Club World Cup, where he scored three goals as Chelsea lifted the trophy on the global stage. His performances in major competitions have cemented his reputation as a big-game player capable of delivering when it matters most.
The 26-year-old has also started the current campaign in good form, already scoring twice for the Blues. His latest goal came on Wednesday against Leeds United in the Carabao Cup, when his excellent strike completed Chelsea’s quick comeback and helped his side progress in the competition. The goal was a trademark Neto finish, combining technical precision with composure under pressure.
One of Neto’s biggest strengths has been his ability to play in different positions, giving the manager another useful option when selecting the team. During his time at Chelsea, he has featured on both wings, as a false nine, in the number 10 role, and even as a wing-back. His versatility has been a major asset for the club, allowing the coaching staff to adapt to different tactical situations and cover for injuries or suspensions without significant drop-off in quality.
His new contract is a clear indication that Chelsea remain confident in what Neto can offer over the long term. After two successful years at Stamford Bridge, the Portuguese forward will now be hoping to continue improving and play an even bigger part as the club targets more trophies in the years ahead.
The announcement of Neto’s new deal comes as Chelsea continue to reshape their squad under manager Xabi Alonso, with the club making significant investments in both established stars and emerging talent. The retention of key players like Neto is seen as crucial to the club’s ambitions of competing for major honours both domestically and in Europe.
For Neto, the new contract represents a vote of confidence from the club and a commitment to his long-term future at Stamford Bridge. With his versatility, work ethic, and goal-scoring ability, the Portuguese international has established himself as one of Chelsea’s most important players, and the club will be hoping he can continue to deliver as they pursue success on multiple fronts in the coming seasons.
