We all know Celtic are in the hunt for a goalkeeper. It has been splashed all over the news that Benji Siegrist is looking likely to be that man to come in to Celtic Park and take up the number2 position.
But are the Hoops jumping the gun on this one?
Are the better, more experienced keepers out there that Ange Postecoglou could be or should be targeting?
Like Barcelona stopper Neto?
It is being widely rumoured that the Brazilian internationals contract could be terminated this summer.

Neto signed for the Catalonian giants from Valencia in 2019 for £16m.
He has failed to make any kind of impact at the club having made just 21 appearances in that time at the club.
He has still managed to pick up some impressive major honours in his time, adding the following to his collection:
2 x La Liga titles
2 x Serie A titles
2 x Spanish Cups
1 x Italian Super Cup
So it is clear that he has experience of being in a dressing room with a winning mentality.
And being 32 years old, Neto will be looking to broaden his horizons and trying to aim for first team football next season.
Wages I hear you say? Well yes, Neto is on £55k per week at Barca [Salary Sport] and looking at the Joe Hart model, he may be tempted to take a huge pay cut to move to a team that is in the Champions League.
He would provide excellent and REAL competition for Hart which can only be good for the club.
Do we really need Another old goalie to do nothing but sit on bench!? I haven’t seen Bain or young Connor Hazard do anything wrong when given the chance!! Far as i’m concerned Keepers are Not a Priority position for the CINCH Scottish Champions….Why no mention of Jota has he decided against Us? Left back is another serious position to get sorted though much as i hate to say it JJ is almost as good in that position as he is at r/b…..come on Mr Nicholson get signings DONE NOW!!
Netos on about 120k mate 😂
No he isn’t. Nowhere near it
