Norberto Neto was in the lead throughout, replacing the injured Kamil Grabara as Guglielmo Vicario’s deputy. He is expected to fly for medical treatment and write the text shortly, Corriere dello Sport Report.
The free agent pool doesn’t offer much. The Brazilian was selected instead of Sergio Rico and Jesper Cillessen. Several things worked in his favor. For example, he has spent two seasons with the team Bianconeri From 2015 to 2017, he played 22 times as Buffon’s substitute.
Neto and Juventus are finalizing a cheap contract until 2027, at which time the team will re-evaluate the position, considering that Vicario and Grabara are both on loan. A few months ago, the veteran was a starter for Botafogo. He has kept five clean sheets and conceded 25 goals in 22 games. He is represented by the same agent as Douglas Lewis, Giuliano Bertolucci and Kia Joorabchian.
The 37-year-old started a few seasons at Valencia after leaving Turin before returning to his home country before serving as vice-captain at Barcelona and Arsenal before and after a spell at Bournemouth between 2022 and 2024.
As for alternatives, Rico is set to spend time with Al-Gharafa in Dubai, while Cillessen played for NEC Nijmegen last year.
Our thoughts on Juventus and Neto
There are few options this time of year and they are lucky to have any available. The fact that they play in the Europa League rather than the top tier continental cup takes the pressure off the position. He was limited to a handful of starts as a substitute in some cupcake matches and Coppa Italia matches.
