"Tommasi is a Levante player," club president Pedro Villarroel told a news conference on Tuesday. "We hope he will arrive in Valencia tomorrow to complete the signing."

Villarroel said that the 32-year-old former Italy international, who has played for Roma since 1996, had reached an agreement to leave the Serie A club on Monday.

The Levante president also said that the club had reached an agreement to sign former Spanish international centre-back Cesar from Deportivo La Coruna.

Levante, who were promoted to the Primera Liga after finishing in third place in the second division last season, have also signed French midfielder Laurent Robert and French defender Frederic Dehu.
