Former Fiorentina and Arsenal goalkeeper Norberto Murara Neto is the frontrunner to rejoin Juventus after a nine-year absence, according to recent reports. The 37-year-old Brazilian, who donned the famous Bianconeri colors from 2015 to 2017, is set to become a free agent this summer after his contract with Arsenal expired on June 30.
Juventus' recent injury crisis has forced them to search for a new goalkeeper, with goalkeeper coach Luciano Spalletti confirming the club's need for a free agent to bolster their options. While Guglielmo Vicario of Tottenham Hotspur remains the first choice, Neto is the clear favorite due to his extensive experience in Italian football and his connection to Juventus.
Neto's previous stints with Fiorentina, Valencia, Barcelona, Bournemouth, and Arsenal have proven his adaptability and skill in the highest echelons of European football. The fact that he possesses Italian citizenship also makes him an attractive option for the club, as he would not be counted as a non-EU player, allowing them to avoid significant wage expectations.
