# Virals: Everton are reportedly interested in Barcelona goalkeeper Neto

[Everton](https://readeverton.com/2021/12/09/pundit-believes-no-nonsense-rafa-benitez-will-shun-lucas-digne/) reportedly want to bring out of favour Barcelona goalkeeper Neto to Goodison Park.

The Toffees were [linked](https://onefootball.com/en/news/everton-reportedly-could-try-to-sign-barcelona-goalkeeper-neto-33506583) with the 32-year-old during the summer following Robin Olsen’s loan spell on Merseyside but a move failed to materialise.

Now a fresh report from Spanish outlet [Sport](https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/barca-plantea-operacion-limpieza-enero-12958434) has claimed the Blues are keen on the Brazilian stopper again.

The report states that the [once capped](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/neto/nationalmannschaft/spieler/111819/verein_id/3439) Brazil ace is ‘very attentive’ to the possibility of making the switch.

So far this season Neto has made just [two appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/neto/leistungsdaten/spieler/111819) for the Catalan giants as Marc-Andre Ter Stegen remains the number one.

### READ EVERTON VERDICT

The goalkeeper department is one of the few positions of [relative strength in depth](https://www.evertonfc.com/teams/first-team) at Everton right now.

Already boasting Jordan Pickford as first-choice, the [capture of Asmir Begovic](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2193899/everton-complete-begovic-signing) in the summer has left the bench in strong stead.

Valued at £4.5million and under contract at the Camp Nou until 2023 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/neto/marktwertverlauf/spieler/111819)), Neto would be a bizarre expenditure on a squad in need of further options in other areas.
