According to Mundo Deportivo, Arsenal could be a possible destination for Barcelona goalkeeper Neto.

Neto will play his final game for Barcelona this weekend and will leave the Spanish club this summer, according to the report.

Arsenal reportedly wanted to sign the 31-year-old Brazil international goalkeeper – a client of well-known super-agent Kia Joorabchian – on loan in January and could make a move for him this summer as well.

Joorabchian reportedly has a close relationship with Arsenal technical director Edu, and you should not be surprised that Neto is now being linked again with the Gunners.

David Luiz, who is reportedly leaving Arsenal this summer, Cedric Soares and Willian all are represented by Joorabchian and his company, Sports Invest UK.

Neto is playing now because of the injury to Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who will miss the Euro 2020 finals for Germany.

The Brazil international goalkeeper is unlikely to be the number one at Arsenal, but he would be a good back-up to Bernd Leno.

Mat Ryan is only on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion at Arsenal, and if the Australia international is not signed on a permanent basis, then a space will open up for a back-up goalkeeper.
