Brazil keeper Julio Cesar finalises Toronto loan

London: Brazil`s first choice goalkeeper Julio Cesar on Friday announced he had finalised a loan move to Major League Soccer side Toronto.

"I have signed a loan deal until the end of December," said the 34-year-old, who has not featured at all this season in England`s second tier Championship with Queens Park Rangers. The veteran revealed the move on his new club`s website and will now look to get match-fit ahead of his planned March 15 debut in Seattle. "I have not just come here to be able to play in the World Cup but also to discover a league and win," said the former Inter Milan shot-stopper, who has won 77 Brazilian caps. He added he already knew Toronto`s New Zealand coach Ryan Nelsen, a QPR teammate last season. Julio Cesar said he had discussed his move with Brazil`s technical coordinator Carlos Alberto Parreira, who indicated the MLS was "very competitive" even if not a top championship. Asked to comment on eight months out of action, save for an FA Cup tie, Julio Cesar said: "It`s all in the past and I have to forget about it. Throughout his exile under QPR coach Harry Redknapp, Julio Cesar retained the confidence of Brazil handler Luiz Felipe Scolari, who has called him up for a March friendly in South Africa. World Cup hosts Brazil will unveil their final squad on May 7.
