Roma defender Cicinho is set to finalise his loan move to Sao Paulo in the coming hours, according to his agent.

The Brazilian right-back has made just two league appearances for Claudio Ranieri´s outfit this season.

"We have reached an agreement with Roma," said Cicinho´s agent Ricardo Sarti to calciomercato.com.

"He will be able to have more playing time at Sao Paulo.

"Cicinho will leave tonight and will be in Brazil tomorrow.

"The player will be included in the Copa Libertadores squad.

"The agreement is a loan deal until June with an option to extend it until August 20 should Sao Paulo reach the final of the Libertadores Cup."

The 29-year-old was at Sao Paulo for two years before joining Real Madrid in 2005.

He joined Roma two years ago and is under contract with the Serie A outfit until June 2012.
