Here we go! Juventus solve goalkeeper crisis with a sensational comeback
Juventus have found an emergency solution between the posts, and it is a name the Bianconeri faithful know very well.
Details: According to Fabrizio Romano, Juventus have agreed a deal to sign Neto as their new goalkeeper, here we go! The Brazilian has accepted a short-term contract and returns to Turin after Kamil Grabara's devastating knee injury.
Grabara, who only joined Juventus on loan from Wolfsburg this summer with an option to buy, tore his ACL in training on Saturday and faces around seven months out, meaning his season is effectively over before it truly began. With Spalletti demanding an experienced solution, the club moved fast: Neto, a free agent, previously wore the Juventus shirt between 2015 and 2017 and brings a wealth of experience from spells at Valencia, Fiorentina, Bournemouth and Arsenal, where he was part of their Premier League setup in recent years. The 37-year-old shot-stopper is expected to sign until June, providing a reliable bridge while the Pole recovers. The move caps a brutal injury spell for the Turin giants, who recently lost captain Manuel Locatelli to meniscus surgery until January and have seen their squad stretched to the limit in the opening weeks of the season. For Neto, it is an unexpected final chapter at the highest level; for Juventus, a pragmatic answer to a crisis that threatened to derail their campaign before the leaves even turned.
It's worth noting that Neto began his European career at Juventus over a decade ago, winning two Serie A titles and two Coppa Italia trophies during his first spell at the club.
