Only Elliot Anderson so far. And for a staggering €135 million. But Pedro Neto could soon join him, with the Portuguese winger emerging as a potential second signing for Manchester City this summer.The key figure behind the move is Enzo Maresca. When the Italian took charge of Chelsea, one of his first signings was Neto, who arrived from Wolverhampton Wanderers in a deal worth €60 million.
