Harry Redknapp has confirmed that Arsene Wenger has not been in contact with him about the availability of Julio Cesar.
Following QPR’s relegation from the Premier League, the 33-year-old goalkeeper has been told by Redknapp that he can leave the London club in the upcoming transfer window and Arsenal have been linked with a move for the Brazilian with Wojciech Szczesny’s future still in doubt.
However, Redknapp insists he has not heard from Wenger about Cesar.
The former Spurs manager was quoted on talkSPORT.com saying:
‘Cesar is a top keeper. Where’s he going? Arsenal? Arsene Wenger hasn’t phoned me. He’s a Brazil international but he’s got a price.’
AC Milan are reportedly eyeing up a move for Cesar, who joined QPR from Inter in January.
But it is believed the shot-stopper’s most likely destination is Arsenal, according to the Daily Mirror.
Cesar currently pockets around £70k-a-week at QPR, a figure The Gunners could well afford to match or even increase, especially if unwanted players, like Sebastien Squillaci, Denilson and Marouane Chamakh, are sold this summer.
