The agent of Roma goalkeeper Alexander Doni says the Brazilian will complete his move to Liverpool on Friday.

An agreement was reached between the clubs last month for the keeper to move on a free transfer, but the shot-stopper balked at having to take a substantial cut in his salary.

However, a move now appears to be finally close to being completed.

“Everything is okay with Liverpool,” Doni’s agent Ovidio Colucci told Forzaroma.info.

“We are returning to Rome to sign the final documents.

“The deal will be finally completed tomorrow and Doni will be back at Liverpool on Sunday to be available for Kenny Dalglish.”

The Brazilian will become the second-choice man between the posts at Anfield, providing backup for Pepe Reina. Current No. 2 Brad Jones is reported to be on his way out of the club as a result.

Doni, who has played 11 times for his country, made 16 appearances for Roma last season as understudy to compatriot Julio Sergio, and is deemed surplus to requirements by new manager Luis Enrique.

Should the deal be completed, he will join Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam in making the move to Anfield this summer, with Aston Villa winger Stewart Downing expected to follow suit soon after the two clubs agreed a fee.
