‘Fight For The Barcelona Star’-Arsenal Compete With Villareal For A Barcelona Star

Arsenal Transfer News: The Sport claims that Arsenal and Villarreal are facing a stiff competition to sign Barcelona outcast Neto. Brazilian goalkeeper Neto signed for the Catalan giants in 2019 for a fee of around £22m.

But ever since, he has played just 21 times for the Spanish side. He has already had seven clean sheets and let in just 20 goals in those appearances.

Neto will enter the final year of his present contract. The goalkeeper is already started looking for potential suitors. Arsenal, Villarreal, and Valencia are among the clubs looking to add him to their squad.

Villarreal and former Arsenal manager Unai Emery want to add more players after their impressive Champions League run last season. Both Arsenal and Villarreal are open to the idea of loaning the 32-year-old.

Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno is also ready to leave the club and Gunner’s board has started looking for replacements. Technical director Edu had conversations with Leno regarding a move to a foreign club.

The Gunners are already looking to sign Matt Turner as a second choice to Aaron Ramsdale. But if they are looking to acquire Neto, what would be the chances of Turner to seal a transfer to the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal Transfer News: Is Arsenal Confused Between Matt Turner and Neto?

USA International Matt Turner could move to the Emirates this summer. But if the North Londoners are keeping tabs on Neto then what does that mean to Matt Turner?

It looks like Arsenal’s board is not fully convinced to sign Turner. Arsenal is eyeing a replacement for the departing Bernd Leno this summer.

Either Matt Turner or Neto could be Arsenal’s second-choice goalkeeper. Aaron Ramsdale needs competition and Neto could be the perfect one as he has proved himself for Barcelona.

He is physically strong with excellent flexibility and is able to provide quality crosses from the back. Signing him would improve any team’s backup options.
