Neto, who joined Barcelona from Valencia in the summer of 2019, wants prominence and minutes. Barcelona will bring Inaki Pena back from his loan at Galatasaray to compete with Ter Stegen.

Neto has played 20 games for Barcelona since joining the club. The 32-year-old has also represented Athletico Paranaense, Fiorentina and Juventus as well as Valencia and Barcelona.

He has earned one cap for the Brazilian national team thus far.
