Lazio defender Bruno Pereirinha is on the verge of completing a move to Brazilian side Atletico Paranaense.

The full-back joined the Biancocelesti on a free transfer from Sporting Club in January 2013 and made only 22 Serie A appearances during his two-and-a-half-year stay.

Sky Sport Italia report that the 27-year-old is set to complete his transfer to the Curitiba-based club and has already passed a medical.

The former Portugal Under-21 international rarely featured during his time at the capital club and managed just three league appearances last season for a total of 162 minutes.

Lazio have already made a number of defensive changes during the summer transfer window with Diego Novaretti departing for Mexican side Leon, while Michael Ciani was released after his contract expired.

Meanwhile, Wesley Hoedt and Patric have arrived in their place.

Long-serving midfielders Cristian Ledesma and Stefano Mauri have also been released.
