Report: Everton could move to sign £12.5 million Brazil international
Everton could make a move to sign Barcelona goalkeeper Neto this summer according to a report from Sport. The Toffees currently have Jordan Pickford as their undisputed number one goalkeeper. João Virgínia and Asmir Begovic are at Goodison Park as back-up for the England international. So Rafa Benitez signing another goalkeeper at this moment in time would be a rather strange move. Unless the Spaniard is planning to move one of those names mentioned above on this summer. Barcelona goalkeeper Neto could be a transfer target for Everton Everton eyeing Neto? Sport reckon that the Merseyside outfit could take advantage of Barcelona’s crippling financial issues and snare the Brazilian stopper this summer. The 31-year-old is available for around €15 million (£12.5 million) according to Sport. Th...
‘Sad reality’, ‘Fraud’: Some Arsenal fans are unhappy with reported interest in Barcelona man
A selection of Arsenal fans have not welcomed the prospect of Barcelona goalkeeper Neto joining the club this summer. The Brazilian was heavily linked with the Gunners in January before they signed Mat Ryan on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion. Ryan is unlikely to rejoin them this summer, and it has recently been reported that the club are still interested in Neto’s services. His agent Kia Joorabchian is working closely to secure the transfer. Some Gunners supporters are unhappy with proceedings. Twitter reactions: I hate everything that comes after and including, ‘play out from the back’. 😭 — Faris Afiat (@AfiatFaris) July 5, 2021 Onana is the best deal we can get in this position but Edu is twerking for Kia Joorabchian’s clients. This is a sad reality we live in ht...
Report: Arsenal first option for £13m Everton target, agent working for a move right now
Arsenal are heavily interested in signing Neto from Barcelona this summer, according to Mundo Deportivo. The 31-year-old was keen to join the Gunners during the January transfer window, but the deal didn’t materialise at that time. The report claims that Arsenal are still interested in signing the Barcelona goalkeeper, and the player’s agent is working on a move right now. Neto has a contract at Barcelona until 2023. Sport revealed last month that the Brazilian is expected to leave the Spanish club and will cost around €16 million (£13m). Everton are also in the hunt to sign Neto, while Roma are also interested. However, Arsenal have emerged as his preferred destination. Neto has played mostly as a second-choice keeper behind Marc-André ter Stegen. He wants to play regularly...
Marcus Rashford tames Wolves to send Manchester United into second
Marcus Rashford’s deflected strike deep into stoppage time moved Manchester United to within two points of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Wolves on Tuesday. United laboured for long spells against a youthful Wolves side, but got a huge slice of fortune in the 93rd minute when Rashford’s shot hit Romain Saiss to leave Rui Patricio helpless. Victory takes Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men up to second and continues an excellent run of 23 points from the last possible 27 to mount an unlikely title challenge after a slow start to the season. Despite enjoying one more day’s rest amid the packed festive schedule than their opponents, Solskjaer made six changes from the side that drew 2-2 at Leicester on Boxing Day. Edinson Cavani made just his second Premier League start...
Barcelona’s domestic woes continue with Alaves 1-1 draw
Antoine Griezmann helped to salvage a point for Barcelona as their struggles in La Liga continued with another disappointing result; a 1-1 away draw against 10-man Deportivo Alaves on Saturday. The visitors, who had lost their prior two league matches, were behind in the first half after a goalkeeping blunder by Neto allowed Luis Rioja to open the scoring. Barca actually started the match brightly. Their gifted youngster Ansu Fati raced clear of the Alaves defence early on but could only strike his effort wide. However, the visiting defence appeared to lack confidence and looked vulnerable on the counter. Alaves left midfielder Luis Rioja tried to exploit this but brought a smart save out of Barca keeper Neto after fine play by Brazilian centre forward Deyverson. It was from another such A...
Inter Milan hits two late goals to beat Fiorentina 4-3
Inter Milan fought back with two goals in the last five minutes as they began their Serie A campaign with a 4-3 win over Fiorentina on Saturday. Runners-up last season and seen as the main challengers to the dominance of Juventus this term, Inter suffered one of their familiar slumps as they fell 3-2 behind to a Fiorentina side inspired by 37-year-old Franck Ribery. But an 87th-minute equaliser from Romelu Lukaku followed by Danilo D’Ambrosio’s header two minutes later gave them the points – and possibly spared them one of coach Antonio Conte’s infamous dressing-downs after the game. Inter could not have made a worse start as they gifted Fiorentina the lead in the third minute with a goal worthy of a playground kickabout. Cristiano Biraghi floated the ball into the area, the Inter defence ...
We want to win LaLiga on pitch – Barca coach
Barcelona coach, Quique Setien, insists he wants to win the LaLiga title on the pitch. Spanish clubs are waiting for news when the competition will resume. For now, Barca lead the table and could be crowned champions if the season is now abandoned. Setien said, “Common sense would indicate that if it cannot continue, the logical thing would be for it to remain as it is. “But what we want is to end it. I’m looking forward to finishing it. “I wouldn’t want to win the championship if it stayed like this.” Get more stories like this on Twitter
