What happened. Juventus are closing in on a return for free agent goalkeeper Neto, with a decision expected within 24 hours. The move follows Kamil Grabara's cruciate ligament injury, which will keep him out for six to seven months.

• Neto, 37, previously spent two seasons at Juventus as back-up to Gianluigi Buffon.
• He has been without a club since his contract with Botafogo expired.
• Juventus are not convinced Carlo Pinsoglio offers enough cover for Guglielmo Vicario.

Neto's experience and previous spell at the club appear to have tipped the balance as Juventus seek an immediate deputy for Vicario.
