Roma deal in-place for Real Madrid's Cicinho

Roma could already have an agreement in principle with Real Madrid over a loan deal for fullback Cicinho.
 
The Brazil international is said to have already agreed to the move, which will go through when the winter market opens in Europe in January.

Real president Ramon Calderon won't stand in Cicinho's way, having circulated his name around Europe in the final week of the summer market.

Smoothing negotiations is Real director Franco Baldini, who was formerly director general at Roma.
