  "account": "MILAN, Italy - March 2: Juventus has announced the signing of former goalkeeper Norberto Neto as the club's new backup keeper after Kamil Grabara suffered a season-ending injury. The 37-year-old Brazilian, who last played for Juventus in 2017, has signed a one-year contract until the end of the 2026-27 season. Neto, who previously played for Juventus between 2015 and 2017, made 22 appearances during his two-season stint, winning two Serie A titles, two Coppa Italia trophies, and one Italian Super Cup. He then had successful stints in Spain, England, and Brazil before returning to Italy last season with Botafogo. With Grabara sidelined for the season, Neto is expected to provide cover for the primary goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario, with the latter likely to start most of Juventus' matches this season. Neto, who has not played a competitive game since late May, will have a few weeks to acclimate to his new role.",
