Brazil International Julio Cesar is rumoured to be signing for Italian side Napoli from Queens Park Rangers on a season-long loan deal. The arrival of Julio Cesar has been rumoured by Gianluca Di Marzio who works for Sky Sports in Italy, while it was also Tweeted by CNN's Tancredi Palmeri. The goalkeeper was a member of the Brazilian side which beat Spain 3-0 in the Confederations Cup final late last month, conceding just three goals in the whole tournament and playing in every game for Phil Scolari's side. QPR were relegated from the Premier League last season and will be looking to get Cesar off their already large wage bill following the drop to the second tier of English football. Napoli, meanwhile, are looking to build under new manager Rafael Benitez, who looks set to lose the prolific Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani. This could be one of many signings for Napoli with Real Madrid's Jose Callejon on the brink of joining the Rafa revolution at the Naples club. Cesar has made a total 74 appearances for the Brazil national team and has played under the Spaniard during his infamous short spell at Inter, where they won the FIFA Club World Cup. The 'keeper's previous spell in Italy saw him winning the treble with Inter Milan under the stewardship of Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho. The 33-year-old had been linked to Premier League side Arsenal with their goalkeeping situation not looking particularly solid, but they look to have missed out on his signature. Cesar would leave a question mark on the future of Italian International Morgan De Sanctis who has made 155 appearances for the club since he joined them from Galatasaray in 2009, he has six national caps to his name but is coming to the end of his career at the age of 36.
Shame, but if they are going to pay his wages then good deal. Means he'll make the world cup squad & we may get him back next season if we somehow manage to get back up !
Terrible deal for us. If we get him back he has no World Cup to motivate himself for, one year left on the contract with no takers I'm afraid. This has to be a permanent deal, ridding ourself of his wages and making some money in the process.
Guys, just because its a loan doesn't mean it'll be a problem. I think it may be good. He'll be off our books and I am certain we'll never see him at qpr after that. It'll be similar to the Barton situation. We'll sell him in one of the next two transfer windows. It's just that they can't get the right sale at the moment. But this article could be bollocks.
