Neal no longer plays in Turkey for the team Pinar Karsiyaka in Izmir,Turkey. Neal was signed by FC Barcelona. In Barcelona he will play with "Pepe" Sanchez, the former Philadelphia 76er, and the team where Juan Carlos Navarro used to play for several years (currently playing for the Memphis Grizzlies). FC Barcelona is a major step up from Pinar Karsiyaka as it shows Neal is making major strides in the development of his game. In June 2008 he was signed by the Italian Lega A outfit Benetton Treviso.
