Julio Cesar open to Benfica switch

Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Julio Cesar has said that he is "proud" to be linked with a move to a "big club" like Benfica.

The Brazilian is expected to leave Loftus Road just one year after joining from Inter Milan, although links with Napoli, Arsenal and Fiorentina have gone cold.

"Benfica are a big club and I am proud to have been associated with them," the 33-year-old told TSF.

"I will speak to my agent to learn exactly what is going on. I only like to talk when things are concrete."

Cesar has won 74 caps for the Selecao.
