Emiliano Viviano to replace Julio Cesar at Inter?

Emiliano Viviano's agent believes that the Palermo goalkeeper will return to the San Siro to play for Inter ahead of next season.

There have also been reports in the media that Brazil's Julio Cesar may leave Inter during the summer.

Amid the talk, the player's representative Claudio Vigorelli has talked up the prospect of Viviano, who is co-owned by both Inter and Palermo, becoming the Italian club's first choice. The 26-year-old suffered a ruptured knee ligament injury in pre-season, but has since returned to action.

"I think that Inter will do everything possible to take him back home," said Vigorelli.

"Viviano has returned to being the goalkeeper that we all recognised before his injury. He's going well and I think the Nerazzurri want him back – and that would be a good decision."

"Julio Cesar remains a great goalkeeper, but it is clear that Viviano is their future."

Viviano is aiming to be part of Italy's squad for Euro 2012 - he already has six caps for the national side.
