MALAGA: Roma’s Brazilian forward Julo Baptista is on the brink of joining Spanish side Malaga, according to reports in the Spanish and Italian press on Wednesday.
The El Diaro Sur daily claimed that the 29-year-old reached an agreement on a three-and-a-half-year contract with the Andalusian club on Tuesday.
Italian daily Corriere dello Sport reported that Malaga will pay two million euros for Baptista, whose annual salary will fall from €3.2mil to €2.5 mil.
The final decision on the transfer rests with Italian bank Unicredit, who are Roma’s majority shareholders.
Baptista, a member of Brazil’s World Cup squad, made his name in Europe with Sevilla before joining Real Madrid in 2005.
He spent a season on loan at Arsenal in 2006-07 and signed for Roma in 2008, but has failed to hold down a first-team place at the Italian side.
