Fiorentina goalkeeper Norberto Neto would never join Juventus, as “I wouldn’t betray the Viola fans.”
The Brazilian shot-stopper had been considered a liability in previous years, but has won over the supporters with fine performances.
His contract expires in June 2015 and there are several big clubs interested in snapping him up.
“At the moment I don’t want to leave Europe, as I am doing well and feel welcome here,” Neto told ESPN in South America.
“I am not thinking about the renewal. I’m just concentrated on my work and in good form. The club would like me to renew straight away, but we haven’t reached an agreement yet. Fiorentina remains my first choice.”
Neto was asked whether he’d be interested in a potential transfer to Juventus, who are Fiorentina’s arch rivals.
“I’d never go there. My agent hasn’t said anything, but above all I wouldn’t go because that would be to betray the Viola fans.”
