Premier League duo Aston Villa and Everton are reportedly interested in signing Barcelona goalkeeper Neto this summer.

Premier League duo Aston Villa and Everton are reportedly interested in signing Barcelona goalkeeper Neto this summer.

The 32-year-old has struggled to displace Barca's first-choice stopper Marc-Andre ter Stegen since arriving at the club from Valencia in 2019, making only 20 appearances across all competitions.

Neto is believed to be keen to leave Camp Nou in search of regular first-team football and Barca will not stand in the goalkeeper's way if he decides to leave this summer.

According to Sport, both Villa and Everton have emerged as potential destinations for the Brazilian stopper, who has less than 18 months remaining on his contract.

The report adds that Steven Gerrard's side could potentially swoop for Neto if Emiliano Martinez leaves the club this summer.

As for Everton, they are on the lookout to provide competition for Jordan Pickford, who has endured a inconsistent 2021-22 campaign between the sticks, but a move for Neto would depend on whether the Toffees avoid relegation from the Premier League.

Neto began his career with Brazilian outfit Athletico Paranaense, before moving to Italy and playing for Fiorentina and Juventus between 2011 and 2017.
