A new experience is looming in the career of the Brazilian goalkeeper. Neto is officially a new player for Bournemouth of the Premier League. The experienced 33-year-old goalkeeper arrives as a free agent, which is why 'The Cherries' will not pay a single euro to FC Barcelona.
After not having the approval of Xavi Hernández, Neto started looking for alternatives in this transfer market. Teams like Chelsea, Juventus, and Everton wanted to convince the goalkeeper. However, '1' chose the project of the modest Bournemouth.

"I have had brilliant experiences in Spain and Italy but my dream since I was little has always been to play in England. It is very important for me to be here and I hope to give my all for this club. I believe that my experience can be important for the team. Bournemouth has incredible players and I hope we can achieve great things together," commented Neto in a press conference.
It will be the first experience of the Brazilian goalkeeper in the Premier League. Let's remember that Neto started his career at Atlético Paranaense. Thanks to his outstanding performances, he was sold at a young age to ACF Fiorentina. In the violet team, he stood out for 5 seasons, which earned him a transfer to Juventus in Turin. Alongside the 'Bianconeri', he did not have much prominence, which is why he decided to move to Valencia in Spain. After 2 years in the 'Che' team, '1' signed with FC Barcelona. In the team, he played for 3 seasons and only competed in 21 matches. How will he fare in English football?
One more player leaving FC Barcelona
Neto became the eleventh player to leave the ranks of the 'Culé' team. This follows the departures of Coutinho, Trincao, Rey Manaj, Moussa Wagué, Dani Alves, Adama Traoré, Luuk de Jong, Lenglet, Óscar Mingueza, and Riqui Puig.
Despite this, there are still players that FC Barcelona wants to get rid of. These are Samuel Umtiti and Martin Braithwaite. Both players are not in Xavi Hernández's plans, so the coach has asked them to seek new horizons.
