Bournemouth close in on their fourth summer signing with the newly-promoted club confident of sealing a deal for Barcelona goalkeeper Neto after positive talks with LaLiga giants
Bournemouth is confident of signing Barcelona goalkeeper Neto, 33, after further talks on Wednesday night.
The experienced shot-stopper is now expected to complete his move to the Vitality Stadium over the weekend, which would make him the club’s fourth summer signing.
With Bournemouth’s first game of the season coming on Saturday against Aston Villa, Neto is almost certain to miss this match, but he could then be in contention to play the following week against defending champions Manchester City.
The south coast club has had a quiet transfer window thus far, bringing in Marcus Tavernier from Middlesbrough, while also completing free transfers for Ryan Fredericks and Joe Rothwell.
Neto would be a welcome addition to the squad and would be expected to challenge Mark Travers for the No 1 spot.
He has only played 21 times for Barcelona during his three years at the club but has plenty of high-level experience through his time at Valencia, Juventus, and Fiorentina.
