QPR linked with Julio Cesar - Inter goalkeeper could be set for Loftus Road switch

Julio Cesar: Inter goalkeeper could be set for a shock summer switch to QPR

Sky Sports understands Queens Park Rangers have opened talks over a possible swoop for Inter Milan goalkeeper Julio Cesar.

The Brazil international was a key member of Inter's UEFA Champions League-winning side two years ago but now looks set to leave Giuseppe Meazza.

Samir Handanovic arrived from Udinese this summer and Cesar has been given permission to speak to other clubs about a move.

Tottenham have been heavily linked with the 32-year-old but it is understood that QPR are in talks with the Inter shot-stopper.

The west London club's technical director Mike Rigg is speaking with Cesar's representatives to see whether a move to Loftus Road can be pushed through.

The news comes just days after summer signing Rob Green's blunder set Swansea on course for a surprise 5-0 victory at Loftus Road.

The defeat saw manager Mark Hughes step up his search for defensive reinforcements, with Tottenham club captain Michael Dawson and Real Madrid's Ricardo Carvalho his leading targets.
