Until last season, Barcelona's back-up keeper was the Dutch international Jasper Cilessen. Bought for only €26 million this summer, Neto was bought by the Catalan side to replace Cillessen.

Standing almost two meters tall, Neto is a world-class goal keeper with incredible shot-stopping skills and one of the fastest reflexes in the world. In his only official appearance for the club against Inter Milan, Neto showed his class, making 3 saves in their 2-1 win.

Last season, he conceded 34 goals in 34 appearances, which is respectable considering Valencia's relatively weak defence. He also played a pivotal role in their Copa del Rey win last season, single-handedly putting them through to the final in his incredible performance against Real Betis in the semi-finals.

This was a good deal for Barcelona, as Jasper Cillessen has been replaced by another excellent keeper in Neto, as the reserve goalkeeper.
