Flamengo 'keen to sign goalkeeper Neto from Barcelona'

Barcelona goalkeeper Neto is reportedly a leading target for Brazilian outfit Flamengo.

The 32-year-old has been at Camp Nou since 2019 but has only made 20 appearances for the Catalan giants, as he is second choice behind Marc-Andre ter Stegen between the sticks.

Neto has only made three appearances this season, but he has a contract at Barcelona until next June.

A recent report claimed that the La Liga giants are planning to sign a new goalkeeper during this summer's transfer window, with Leeds United's Illan Meslier emerging as a leading target.

According to journalist Ekrem Konur, Flamengo are keen to sign the experienced stopper this summer and are hopeful that Barcelona will let him leave on a free transfer, 12 months before the end of his contract.

The one-time Brazil international started his professional career with Athletico Paranaense before representing Fiorentina, Juventus and Valencia ahead of a switch to Barcelona in 2019.
