Liverpool are reportedly one of several big clubs to have shown interest in signing Chelsea winger Pedro Neto, but the Blues have placed an outlandish price tag on his head. Now, it would appear the bloated transfer market continues to spiral out of control with Chelsea placing a truly silly price tag on the head of Pedro Neto.

Chelsea value Neto at over £100m after observing PSG and RB Leipzig valuations for Bradley Barcola and Yan Diomande According to a report from the Daily Mail, Liverpool are one of the clubs keen on signing Neto, but have unsurprisingly baulked at the £100m+ price tag Chelsea are demanding for his sale. “The Premier League club are not actively touting their Portuguese 26-year-old for sale, but Blues insiders are aware of the asking prices being issued elsewhere in Europe, and specifically for RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande and Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola.

“Diomande and Barcola are both considered £100million-plus players by their respective clubs, and while Neto would struggle to fetch such a large fee, it does give Chelsea an idea of their own wide man’s worth. The Blues have not quoted a valuation on Neto as of yet.” Neto is a fantastic player, but his five goals and six assists in the Premier League last season do not warrant such a massive transfer fee.
