A familiar face returns to Turin

Neto is no stranger to the Bianconeri. He previously represented Juventus between 2015 and 2017, making 22 appearances across two seasons as understudy during a golden period for the club, and left with two Scudetti, two Coppa Italia trophies and one Italian Super Cup to his name.

That prior spell, and his understanding of the demands that come with wearing the shirt, was cited by the club as a key factor behind his emergency return to the first-team squad . Since leaving Turin, Neto built a well-travelled career, spending five years in Spain with Valencia and Barcelona, three seasons in England with Bournemouth and Arsenal, before returning to South America last season with Botafogo.

Contract runs to 2027, medicals already passed

The official announcement confirms only that Neto arrives as a free agent on a deal until 30 June 2027; no transfer fee or wage details were disclosed in the club’s statement. Before signing, Neto travelled to Turin’s Caselle airport and went through the standard checks at J|Medical, passing his fitness examinations without issue despite his age.

He is now considered ready to contribute immediately to the first-team setup, giving Luciano Spalletti’s staff a seasoned option to call upon should Vicario be unavailable. It marks the latest twist in a goalkeeping department that has already seen significant turnover this season , and for now Neto’s job is simple: be ready if he’s needed, and bring calm experience to a group leaning on him more than anyone expected in September.
