And now the capital club have agreed a fee with his employers for his services with Roma set to pay the player's transfer fee in two parts, with around £1.65million this summer and the rest to be paid next summer.

The Brazilian started his professional career at Palmeiras and also wore the colours of Botafogo and Figueirense before joining Fluminense in 2009.
