SPORT, a Spanish news outlet, reported that Fulham have emerged as a potential destination for wantaway Barcelona goalkeeper Neto. As they get ready for the upcoming season, the newly promoted Premier League team has made the 33-year-old goalkeeper one of their top priorities.

The 33-year-old joined Barcelona in 2019 from Valencia, where he had previously played, and has since been overshadowed by Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Barcelona is eager to move the 33-year-old this summer in order to avoid losing him on a free transfer next year because he only has one year left on his contract.
