Former Lazio goalkeeper Fernando Orsi is a big fan of Fiorentina keeper Neto.
Neto is being likened to Juventus No1 Gigi Buffon.
"Reaching [the level of] Buffon is very hard, but Neto is growing," Orsi declared to FiorentinaNews.
"You can't compare him to the Juventus goalkeeper yet, but he deserves credit for having matured a lot in these last few years.
"Montella deserves some credit too for having believed in him even when he made a few mistakes too many.
"Now Neto's mistakes can be counted on the fingers of a single hand and his personality will be good for the whole team.
"He's certainly turned into one of the best goalkeepers in Serie A."
