Roma have opened talks with QPR goalkeeper Julio Cesar.

Arsenal and AC Milan have also shown a strong interest in Cesar, but Roma have now made a firm move.

The 33-year-old is certain to leave Loftus Road and spent seven years in Italy at Inter Milan.

**Atletico Madrid confirmed yesterday that Thibaut Courtois, Chelsea’s Belgium goalkeeper, will remain at the Spanish club on loan for a third season.

The 21-year-old won Spain’s “Zamora” trophy for conceding fewest goals in the top flight last season.

Courtois has made 98 appearances for Atletico, helping win the Europa League, European Super Cup and Copa del Rey.
