English Premier League (EPL) special winger Pedro Netu is expected to leave Wolverhampton. However, the transfer club is not Tottenham, which was initially interested.

European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano reported on his personal SNS on the 9th (Korea time) that `Pedru Netu is moving to Chelsea.' Romano also mentioned 'Here we go!' indicating the imminent transfer, saying the transfer is actually in the final stages.

Initially, Romano said there is no problem with salary anymore, and the initial transfer fee request is 60 million pounds (104 billion won), and talks are underway for an agreement between the clubs. He is Chelsea's number one candidate for the winger.

He immediately reported that an agreement had been reached. Romano said 'Wolverhampton accepted a fixed fee of 60 million euros (about 89 billion won) and a bonus of 3 million euros (about 4.4 billion won). A personal agreement has already been reached. A medical examination is scheduled.'

Chelsea are one of the clubs that is having a hot transfer market this summer after the last two summers. In addition to several recruitments, Conor Gallagher has recently been sent out and Sauomorodion has also been signed. Now Chelsea's eyes were on the winger reinforcement. Chelsea quickly negotiated the recruitment, preempting the net that EPL clubs had been aiming for.

At first, Netu was one of the players who was constantly connected with Tottenham and Arsenal. Netu's transfer possibility had already emerged in the transfer market last winter. Considering Netu's skills in the English Premier League, it is natural that big clubs such as Chelsea and Tottenham are interested. Netu was at the heart of Wolverhampton's attack with Hwang Hee-chan in the 2023-2024 season. The influence was significant even though there were not a few games that were missed due to injuries. He played in 24 official matches, scoring 3 goals and 10 assists, and always put pressure on opposing teams with active movement, sharp kicks and passes on the right side. Considering only his performance, he is one of the leading wingers in the EPL.

Wolverhampton reportedly demanded a transfer fee of about 60 million pounds (about 104 billion won) to transfer to Netu. Chelsea seem to have grasped Wolverhampton's intentions and quickly succeeded in agreeing a transfer fee after an individual agreement.

The special talent who was responsible for Wolverhampton's side heads to Chelsea. It is expected to be a big help to Chelsea, which is seeking a proper rebound in the next season.
