The ‘keeper joined Juventus on a free after his contract at Fiorentina expired

Brazilian goalkeeper Neto has explained why he chose to sign for Juventus from Fiorentina, despite not being guaranteed regular first team football.

The 26 year old was linked with a move to Liverpool, but instead chose to stay in Italy with last season’s double winners, and the losing Champions League finalists.

Juve‘s veteran Gianluigi Buffon is still considered the number one goalkeeper for next season, but Neto is expected to become his long term replacement when he finally retires.

He was Fiorentina’s first choice last season, with 29 Serie A appearances

Neto, who played at Fiorentina for five seasons, is confident that the move to Turin is right for him.

“I thought it was the best thing for me, my career and my future,” the Brazilian said.

“I thought about all the things that could happen here, and in the end I thought it was best to come here.

“It’s a winning team, where I can continue the growth I want to achieve. I’ve come here to help Juventus, I’m part of this squad and it’s my dream to be sitting here today.

“I know what I’ve been through, and what will happen will happen.”
