Luís Carlos Novo Neto (born 26 May 1988 in Póvoa de Varzim) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for A.C. Siena in Serie A, as a defender.

Club career

Neto joined hometown's Varzim SC's youth ranks at the age of ten. With the club he played exclusively in the second division, being a backup or third-choice in four of his five seasons; his official debut came on 10 February 2007 in a 2–1 home win against S.L. Benfica for the campaign's Portuguese Cup (two minutes played).

In July 2011, Neto signed with top level outfit C.D. Nacional on a free transfer. He immediately made an impact for his new team, attracting interest from the likes of F.C. Porto and Arsenal during the following off-season; however, Italian side A.C. Siena eventually won the bid to sign the player, for €1.7 million.
International career

Neto appeared with the Portuguese under-21 team at the 2009 Lusophony Games. He played all four matches during the tournament as the side collected the silver medal.

On 4 October 2012 Neto was called-up for the first time to the full team, for 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Russia and Northern Ireland.

I want him badly, I read that Siena ask around 8M for him which is around the same as Atalanta want for Peluso. Neto would be the wiser move imo.

You think it'll happen Mark?

Why do you want him badly? He is nothing more than an ok player

 

[Nicholas]

Siena making all the right noises they'll sell him.

 

[Trequartista]

I haven't seen him play but he's supposed to be good. He'd be a backup anyways, so if we can get him for cheap, why not.

To Naples

We already have 2 players that look like jesus (i.e Pirlo and Caceres*sometimes*) Do we really need a third?

 

[TrezJuve]

@Mark how is he like?

 

[Mark]

a poor man's Carvalho.

I beg to differ, I would say he started brilliantly with Siena this season, faded away a bit in the last few weeks though. He's calm and his positioning and anticipating are good, I think he's quite young too.

With Chiellini out for 3 months I would like us to sign a new CB, and Neto is a good option.

 

[Trequartista]

a poor man's Carvalho.

Carvalho was great in his prime so a poor man's Carvalho means that's he's at least decent

Dont trust Caceres at CB..Hope we can sign this guy..

 

[Xperd]

He is apparently close to Napoli..4.5-5m euros + one of Bruno Uvini/Federico Fernandez is what is talked about according to Calciomercato.com.

 

[Gian]

Good deal on Napoli's behalf.

We'll go for Andreolli I guess, only has 6 months left on his contract. Shouldnt be too pricey.

 

[K.O.]

Dont trust Caceres at CB..Hope we can sign this guy..

You don't trust Caceres but you can trust this Siena's Neto dude?
