Fiorentina goalkeeper Neto has insisted he would never join rivals Juventus.

The 25 year-old is out of contract in June 2015 and has been linked with a move to the Old Lady, who are beginning to work on bringing a heir to Gianluigi Buffon.

With Fiorentina and Juventus considered fierce rivals, making a switch between the sides would be controversial.

With that in mind, Neto is eager to affirm that he isn’t entertaining the possibility of a transfer to Turin and denies there has been any contact.

“I’d never go there,” he told ESPN in South America. “My agent hasn’t said anything, but above all I wouldn’t go because that would be to betray the Viola fans.”

Neto was signed by Fiorentina from Atlético Paranaense in January 2011 for €3.5 million. The Brazil international has made 70 appearances for the Viola, keeping 25 clean sheets.
