Everton are interested in signing Neto from Juventus in the summer transfer window, according to talkSPORT.

However, according to the report, the Premier League club will face competition from Italian duo Lazio and Napoli.

It has been reported that Neto is ready to leave Juventus in the summer as he is playing second fiddle to Gianluigi Buffon.

Tough competition

Everton are a massive club, and if they sign Neto, then it is likely that the 27-year-old goalkeeper will be an automatic starter for Ronald Koeman’s side next season.

However, Lazio and Napoli are big clubs in Italy. In fact, Napoli still have a small chance of winning the Scudetto this season and are guaranteed of playing in the group stage of the Champions League during the 2017-18 campaign.

Good goalkeeper

Neto may be a squad player at Juventus at the moment, but there is no doubt that the former Fiorentina goalkeeper is a quality player.

The fact that the former Brazil Under-23 international is (reportedly) ready to leave Juventus despite being at a club where he can win a lot of trophies underlines his ambition and hunger for regular playing time.
