Football News: Fiorentina confirm rumoured Liverpool target has refused to sign new contract

Fiorentina have confirmed that they are set to lose their Brazilian goalkeeper Neto after he refused to sign a new contract.

The Serie A side are now open to selling him in January for a small fee, rather than lose him in the summer on for nothing.

Neto has been linked with moves to European heavyweights, such as Juventus and Liverpool in recent months.

"Fiorentina announce that goalkeeper Neto today officially informed the club of his intention not to prolong his contract with the Viola. The decision is definitive," said a statement from the Florence side.

"Neto was keen to make it known that his decision is entirely unrelated to financial motivations, with his desire to be free to decide his own future the sole reason behind his move."
