The Brazil international does not see the imminent arrival of Handanovic as a threat to his career at Inter.

"Handanovic is a good goalkeeper," Julio Cesar said. "This would be the best for us as we would have three great goalkeepers. If he joins Inter it is only because he is good."

Julio Cesar joined Inter in 2006, and is a reported target of Manchester United and Roma.

Seems very inconsistent. Last time I watched him was with Lazio v. Inter and he was very good but leg 2 of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 2011 he looked like he hadn't been keeping for more than a few hours.
