Cardiff City make surprise loan offer for Julio Cesar

Queens Park Rangers' Brazilian goalkeeper Julio Cesar could be set for a Premier League stay in time for the new season as newly promoted side Cardiff City make a loan offer for the former Inter Milan goalie.

A move to Napoli fell through last week as the Italian giants decided to sign Liverpool's keeper Pepe Reina on loan instead; whilst earlier in the season Arsenal were also linked with a move for Cesar but Arsene Wenger decided at the last minute to keep the faith in his current Polish duo.


Cardiff City were known to be looking to sign a new goalkeeper but have so far struggled to find a suitable player, Cesar will be available for a season long loan for a nominal fee as the Welsh side will pay his entire salary for the duration of the spell.


Julio Cesar, who has played 74 times for his country, could also make a permanent move to Cardiff if he impresses sufficiently during his time at the Welsh side.
