Luiz Felipe Scolari: 'Julio Cesar going to Toronto FC'

Brazil manager Luiz Felipe Scolari reveals that Julio Cesar is on the verge of joining Toronto FC from Queens Park Rangers.

Julio Cesar is on the verge of leaving Queens Park Rangers for Toronto FC, his Brazilian national team manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has revealed.

Despite playing in the Premier League for Rangers as they were relegated last season, Cesar has made just one appearance for the West London club this campaign and will now move to MLS in order to gain more playing time ahead of the World Cup in Brazil this summer.

"Toronto should be finalising the last few details and he should be in great condition. There will be no problem with him," Scolari told reporters.

"Lots of players arrives in the United States thinking it will be easy and then end up not playing. They stay for four or five months and then leave.

"We wish he were playing and now he will be. The MLS is not the end of [a] career."

Cesar, 34, will join Jermain Defoe, who agreed to leave Tottenham Hotspur last month, in moving to Toronto.
