EVERTON, ASTON VILLA, TARGET BARCELONA STAR
According to SPORT, Barcelona are prepared to let go of out-of-favour goalkeeper Neto Murara in the summer transfer window later this year, sparking the interest of Premier League sides Everton and Aston Villa. Neto has been with Barcelona since 2019 when he arrived from fellow La Liga club Valencia. However, he has hardly enjoyed a regular run in the starting XI and has had to settle for odd cup appearances and a game now and then when first-choice stopper Marc-Andre ter Stegen is out with injury.
As a result, despite spending close to three years at Camp Nou, Neto has featured just 20 times for Barcelona, in which he has kept seven clean sheets. The 32-year-old has been looking for a way from the Catalan outfit since January last year, but the club have kept him around due to the lack of an experienced backup for ter Stegen.
