Brazil's backup goalkeeper Neto is traveling to Italy this week to sign a contract with Fiorentina, according to his Brazilian club.
Atletico Paranaense says it has reached a deal with Fiorentina for the transfer of the 21-year-old netminder. The agreement will be sealed if Neto passes physical exams in Italy.
Neto, whose full name is Norberto Murara Neto, was summoned to the national team for the first time when coach Mano Menezes took over the squad after the World Cup in South Africa.
He was called up for Brazil's friendly against Argentina last
November, but stayed on the bench.
