Transfer market: Neto returns to Juventus and Stroppa stays at Venezia

In the frantic press centre in Turin, Calciomercato journalists are scanning the latest rumours: Juventus has almost confirmed the return of the 37‑year‑old goalkeeper Neto, while at Venezia the management has confirmed that Giovanni Stroppa remains on the bench, without dismissal.

Neto towards Juventus

Juventus has decided WITH Grabara's departure due to a cruciate ligament injury, accelerating the negotiation for Neto, a free agent after his recent spell at Botafogo. The Brazilian goalkeeper, now 37, is expected to sign a contract until June 30, 2027, behind starter Vicario.

In his first spell in the black‑and‑white (summer 2015‑summer 2017), Neto made 22 appearances, conceding 15 goals, and won two Serie A titles, two Coppa Italia trophies and the 2015/16 Supercoppa.

Carboni extension

Valentin Carboni, a 21‑year‑old Argentinian born in 2005, is at Racing de Avellaneda on loan from Inter. Inter and Racing have reached a preliminary agreement to extend the loan for another 12 months, with a performance clause: for each block of 4 appearances of at least 20 minutes, Inter will pay roughly €175 k to Racing.

The bonus was paid only once, on February 14, and should be triggered again if Carboni meets the playing requirements.

Break stalls as Juventus chase Palmisani and Roma eye Kvernadze

At Venezia, the management has confirmed that Giovanni Stroppa remains on the bench, without dismissal, despite rumours of possible replacements such as Roberto D'Aversa, Igor Tudor, Paolo Zanetti and Alberto Gilardino. Stroppa will now have to work during the break to reverse the negative trend.

The club is still stuck at zero points after the defeat to Lazio, where a missed penalty by Yeboah and missed chances by Adams compromised the match. Against Fiorentina, the introduction of Juan Jesus reduced the goals conceded, but the final result remained disappointing.

Chelsea has reopened negotiations for Francesco Camarda, a young red‑and‑black striker born in 2008, with the aim of snatching him from Milan. In addition to the Blues, Napoli, Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham, Brighton and Brentford are also monitoring his development.

Hull and Napoli are studying Kvernadze, the young Georgian who dazzles in Serie A with Frosinone. As his performance shows, the midfielder attracts interest from Premier League clubs.
