Juventus agree deal for Neto

Serie A champions Juventus have reportedly reached an agreement with Fiorentina goalkeeper Neto, according to Tuttosport.

The Bianconeri have persuaded the Brazilian to accept a four-year contract and he will be moving to Turin when his current deal expires at the end of the season.

Neto also had offers from Liverpool and few more high-profile clubs, but he eventually decided to remain in Italy.

Juventus officials had been impressed with the 25-year-old shot-stopper and they see him as a perfect long-term replacement for Gianluigi Buffon.

Neto has been at Artemio Franchi since January 2011, when he arrived from Atletico Paranense, but he needed a while to nail down a regular starting berth.

After making 2 and 6 league appearances in previous two campaigns, the Brazilian started last season as a first choice goalkeeper and has since featured in 51 Serie A matches.

Having shown some improvement of late, Fiorentina are available at 23/20 to defeat Genoa on the road on Saturday.
