The Brazil international is close to agreeing
a two-year contract with the Italian giants having impressed for Harry
Redknapp's Premier League strugglers this season
AC Milan are closing in on the signing of QPR
goalkeeper Julio Cesar, Goal.com can reveal.
The 33-year-old joined the west London club
last summer from Inter and his performances have represented a rare highlight
in a season that seems almost certain to end in relegation.
Cesar has recently won his place back in Luiz
Felipe Scolari’s Brazil side and is keen to return to Italy, rather than risk
appearing at the 2014 World Cup on home soil by plying his trade in the
Championship with QPR.
Cesar is close to agreeing a two-year
contract worth £1.8 million-a-year with the Rossoneri, who will install the
former Flamengo man as their No.1 and retain Christian Abbiati as back-up,
while Marco Amelia will be allowed to leave on a free.
Despite his long-standing interest in the
player Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani, who made an enquiry for the
goalkeeper last summer, distanced himself with a move.
Cesar on Thursday although he adopted a
similar stance during the club's negotiations with Manchester City for Mario
Balotelli.
Galliani told reporters: "Julio Cesar is
an excellent keeper, but no, there are no negotiations on course with him or
with Queens Park Rangers."
Cesar spent seven highly successful years
with Milan’s fierce rivals Inter, winning 14 major honours and playing a key
role in the club’s treble season of 2009-10 under Jose Mourinho
