Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has expressed regret that Liverpool did not sign Pedro Neto, who recently joined Chelsea from Wolverhampton Wanderers for £54 million. Carragher praised Neto as a significant talent and expressed a desire that Liverpool had secured his services.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Carragher highlighted Neto’s potential, stating that he believes the Portuguese winger could play for some of the best teams in the world if not for injury setbacks. He praised Neto’s pace, ball control, and goal-scoring ability, noting that the player could be a major asset if he remains fit.
Carragher also reflected on Neto’s recent debut for Chelsea, where he came on as a substitute in their 0-2 defeat against Manchester City. Despite the loss, Carragher remains confident in Neto’s potential, describing him as a “special talent” and one of the top players in the Premier League when fit.
Carragher’s comments underscore his admiration for Neto and his belief that Liverpool missed out on a valuable addition to their squad.
