Julio Cesar likely to depart Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers chairman Tony Fernandes has conceded that Julio Cesar will leave the club this month.

The Brazilian goalkeeper has made just one appearance in the FA Cup for the R's this season, with Rob Green preferred between the posts.

With the World Cup taking place in his homeland this summer, Fernandes has revealed that he does not expect the 34-year-old to be at Loftus Road beyond the end of this month.

"I think [Cesar will leave]. It's a waste for someone with such immense talent not playing and I think he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, so I'm sure someone will pick him up and let's see how that goes," he told Sky Sports News.

The former Inter Milan keeper has recently been linked with Cagliari and Sunderland.
