Barcelona have put Arsenal-linked keeper Neto on their transfer list, according to reports.<\/p>\n
Much has been made of the club\u2019s financial situation, which put the future of star player Lionel Messi under threat.<\/p>\n
The Catalan giants appear to have sorted his new deal but more players could still be on the move.<\/p>\n
According to ESPN, Neto will be allowed to leave Barca this summer if a suitable offer comes in.<\/p>\n
The Brazilian, capped on one occasion by his country, is a well-respected player but he isn\u2019t needed at the Nou Camp.<\/p>\n
He also wants to secure a new challenge to allow him to prove himself ahead of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.<\/p>\n
The news will alert the attention of Arsenal, who have previously eyed Neto as a potential transfer target.<\/p>\n
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is low on options in goal, with just Bernd Leno and Runar Alex Runarsson as senior keepers in his squad.<\/p>\n
Runarrson could leave the Emirates on loan this summer after a troublesome debut season in England.<\/p>\n
Mat Ryan was one solution being targeted, although he\u2019s now returned to Spain by signing for Real Sociedad.<\/p>\n
Reports in January suggested Neto would only join Arsenal if he were guaranteed a shot at Leno\u2019s starting spot.<\/p>\n
Arteta has stuck with Leno throughout his tenure, but the German did himself no favours with a shocking error in last season\u2019s 1-0 defeat to Everton.<\/p>\n
Bringing an experienced keeper like Neto to the club may help to improve Leno\u2019s performances.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old started his career with Atletico-PR in his native Brazil. He was given his first shot at European football by Fiorentina, who signed him for \u00a33.15million in January 2011.<\/p>\n
After establishing himself as the Italian side\u2019s number one, a transfer to Juventus followed in 2015.<\/p>\n
However, Neto couldn\u2019t usurp the legendary Gigi Buffon in Turin. He was forced to leave for Valencia in search of game time, and went on to join Barca two years ago.<\/p>\n
He could become the second player to leave Barca for England in the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n
Left-back Junior Firpo was sold to Leeds United for \u00a312.8m. He will take Ezgjan Alioski\u2019s place in the team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
