Manchester City are interested in signing Chelsea winger Pedro Neto as a potential replacement for Tottenham target Savinho, talkSPORT understands.
Savinho has been tipped with a summer exit having struggled for game time at the Etihad Stadium last season.

Spurs are keen on the Brazilian and Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo as they seek to bolster their attacking options.
Neto is also a rumoured target for Roberto De Zerbi’s side, though their priority at this stage appears to be Savinho.
The north London outfit have been monitoring the former Girona man for the past 12 months and will hope to secure his services this summer.
And City are interested in Chelsea and Portugal star Neto should the 22-year-old leave the Etihad Stadium.
Neto and new City boss Enzo Maresca worked together during their time at Stamford Bridge.
The 26-year-old has started 54 league matches since his £54million arrival from Wolves in 2024.
In his two years in west London, Neto’s been directly involved in 21 goals, scoring nine times.
However, the Portuguese forward may find minutes hard to come by under new Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso in the upcoming campaign.
Chelsea’s failure to secure a European finish combined with the £117million addition of Morgan Rogers could see Neto restricted to a bit-part role.

City may face competition for Neto should Chelsea sanction his summer sale.
Premier League rivals Liverpool have been linked with a move for Neto as the Reds consider their options in their quest to replace Mohamed Salah.
Salah confirmed he’ll be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season earlier this year, though the Merseyside outfit are yet to sign a new right winger.
In addition, Serie A giants AC Milan are also believed to be keeping tabs on Neto with a view to a summer move.
Neto’s compatriot Ruben Amorim took over as AC Milan boss back in June following Max Allegri’s departure after the Italian side failed to secure a Champions League finish.
