Ze Maria played 43 times for Brazil Sheffield United boss Bryan Robson is confident of completing a deal for Brazilian trialist Ze Maria next week. The 34-year-old former Inter Milan, Parma and Perugia defender has been training with Robson's squad this week after leaving Spanish side Levante.
Robson said: "I'm going to make a decision on Ze Maria early next week.
"I'll be speaking to him and the people involved with him and if we can come to some agreement there's every chance I will take him on board."
Ze Maria left Levante during the summer and has recently been linked with a return to Italy with Lazio.
He can play at right-back or on the right wing and has won 43 caps for Brazil in total.
