Lazio expect Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva to arrive in Rome for a medical on Monday after agreeing a £5million fee.
The Brazilian has been discussing personal terms with Lazio who want the 30-year-old to replace Lucas Biglia who has joined AC Milan.
The hard-working South American is the club's longest-serving player.
The defensive midfield man signed for the Anfield club in 2007 from Gremio for £5m and has given good service to the Merseysiders over the last ten years.
