Manchester United are keen to sign £7m-rated Brazilian right-back Cicinho, who is reported to have flown to England for talks at Old Trafford. The 25-year-old Sao Paulo defender would not require a work permit as he qualifies for a European passport through his Italian grandfather. A Sao Paulo spokesman said: "Cicinho is in Europe and must be negotiating with a club because his agent is with him. "But there hasn't been any offer made to Sao Paulo." However, club president Marcelo Gouvea revealed he would sell Cicinho - at the right price. He told O Globo TV: "I will do everything to keep the player at Sao Paulo but if the English were to pay £6.68m ($12m) for his transfer there is nothing I can do to keep him." Milan and Juventus have also been tracking Cicinho, who is tipped to replace Cafu in the national team. But United seem in pole position to sign the player on a four-year deal. Cicinho has been capped by Brazil six times and was impressive during the recent Confederations Cup. Should he join United, it could signal the end for Gary Neville, whose brother Phil left the club to join Everton last week. And it may go some way to appease fans concerned there is no money for transfers following Malcolm Glazer's takeover.
