However, Sky and Gianluca Di Marzio both report that the ‘keeper has decided to move to the Bianconeri, where he’s likely to be the understudy to Gianluigi Buffon.
No details of the contract have yet emerged, but it is speculated that the deal will see him sign a four year contract.
The news will be especially galling for fans of the Tuscan side, as Neto had previously stated that he would never ‘betray’ them by joining the Old Lady.
It’s believed that Juventus are keen on an immediate transfer, but that seems unlikely, as relationships between the two sides are frosty.
