TuttoMercatoWeb claims that negotiations have unexpectedly advanced quickly and that Júlio César is now close to Roma.
The Brazilian national team goalkeeper has previously been linked to Arsenal, but negotiations have stalled despite his intention of staying in London.
Júlio César eventually admitted that he would not rule out a move to Italian football as he is knows the language and the league, also adding that Rome is a beautiful city.
The goalkeeper shone in Brazil’s 2-1 win against Uruguay for the Confederations Cup, and was elected the man of the match as he saved a penalty taken by Forlán.
His future will most likely be decided after the competition is over, Brazil will face Spain or Italy in the final on Sunday.
