Agent: Cavalieri Going To Anfield


The agent of Brazilian goalkeeper Diego Cavalieri has revealed that Liverpool have been given permission by Palmeiras to open talks with the player, with regard to a transfer to Anfield.

Juninho Parmigiani stated that the two clubs were set to agree the details for a deal involving the 26-year-old, who has been at Palestra Italia since the beginning of his career. Both player and agent are ready to make the trip to England to finalise terms with Rafael Beintez’s side.

Parmigiani claimed: "Palmeiras' board released Diego to negotiate with Liverpool and we are going to fly to define the last details. We still cannot say that everything is closed because there are some things between Liverpool and Palmeiras and other details in the contract.

"I believe everything is going to be solved this weekend. If everything goes as it was agreed, he is going to sign the contract and be introduced."

Cavalieri has yet to be capped for the Brazilian national team, but has caught the eye of a number of European clubs nonetheless. Internazionale were said to have run the rule over the goalkeeper in 2005, before ultimately opting for Julio Cesar.

Should Cavalieri arrive at Anfield, it may well push Scott Carson further towards the exit door; the 22-year-old has spent the past three seasons on loan away from the club, and Beintez is willing to part with the English international should a sufficient bid materialise.
