Manchester City not pursuing Pedro Neto after Savinho's strong preseason

Summary

Manchester City has indicated they will not pursue Chelsea winger Pedro Neto this summer, shifting focus after the impressive preseason performances of Savinho.

Initially, it was expected that Savinho might leave City, potentially signing with Tottenham, but his recent form has altered the club's transfer plans. With Neto off the table, City may continue developing Savinho as a key player for the upcoming season.
