  "account": "Manchester City are intensifying their pursuit of Pedro Neto, according to a report by Fabrizio Romano. The club has made direct contact with the player's representatives and is engaging in preliminary discussions about a potential transfer. The move appears contingent upon the departure of fellow winger Savinho to Tottenham Hotspur. Neto, a 22-year-old talent, has not quite met expectations in his recent performances. While Liverpool is also interested in Neto, City appears to be the frontrunner, with Tottenham Hotspur listed as a backup option. Chelsea's valuation for the Brazilian player remains unknown, with estimates suggesting a figure around £70 million.",
