Arsenal are still interested in acquiring the services of Barcelona‘s backup goalkeeper Neto Murara, but according to Mundo Deportivo they won’t be able to secure him on a loan.
Barcelona have told Arsenal that he’ll only be able to leave Catalonia for a good figure and a loan deal isn’t on the cards. The Brazilian goalkeeper signed a four-year deal with Barcelona when he joined from Valencia in 2019.
Neto has played six games this season in La Liga, deputising for Marc-Andre ter Stegen when the German goalkeeper was injured. He also started three Champions League games.
He expected to play in the semi-final of the Supercopa de Espana against Real Sociedad this past week but Ronald Koeman opted for Ter Stegen, who almost single-handedly secured the Blaugrana’s passage to tomorrow night’s final against Athletic Bilbao. Neto will, however, start at Segunda B Cornella in the Copa del Rey this coming Thursday.
