Premier League club in surprise talks to sign Barcelona outcast - Reports

​

Bournemouth are reportedly interested in signing Barcelona goalkeeper Neto.

Newly promoted Premier League club Bournemouth are reportedly interested in signing Barcelona goalkeeper Neto this summer. As per Relevo, the Blaugrana are optimistic about completing a deal for the Brazilian.

The 33-year-old joined the La Liga giants from Valencia in 2019 for €26 million. However, he has only played 21 games for the club in three years, failing to replace Marc-Andre ter Stegen between the sticks.

Neto will hope for more playing time at Bournemouth, which seems to be the likely destination for the Brazilian. They are in negotiations with Barcelona, and a deal could be cracked soon.
