Liverpool face Juventus competition for Fiorentina keeper Neto

Liverpool's move for Fiorentina goalkeeper Norberto Neto is intensifying.

The Daily Mail says Liverpool will have to move quickly to land Fiorentina goalkeeper Neto as the Brazilian goalkeeper has a verbal agreement to join Juventus at the end of the season - and is being offered around £1.5m a year net salary to join the Serie A Champions.

Liverpool are searching for a goalkeeper to provide competition for Simon Mignolet and Brad Jones and the 25-year-old Brazilian is high on their list with the club examining their options this month after missing out on former Barcelona keeper Victor Valdes, who signed for Manchester United.

But Neto has also attracted attention from Juventus - though he would be up against club legend Gianluigi Buffon for the No.1 shirt there - while at Liverpool he would have a clearer route to first-team football.
