The 31-year-old, who has won 10 caps for the Brazilian national team, successfully completed a medical on Friday and put pen-to-paper on a contract with the Reds, although the Merseyside have not confirmed the terms of the deal.

Director of Football Damien Comolli told the club’s official website: “We are delighted to sign Doni.

“It's a position we felt we had to strengthen because it will allow our young goalkeepers to go on loan and get some experience at some point during the season, which is crucial in their development.

“We are getting a very experienced goalkeeper who is used to handling the pressure of big games and international matches with Brazil.

“He had a very good end of last season with Roma, so we are very pleased.”

A deal for Doni looked to be dead in the water earlier this year after the club and player failed to reach an agreement, but Comolli revealed the lure of playing for Liverpool was too much for the Brazilian to resist.

Comolli added: “When you come here and know you will be a number two behind Pepe (Reina), what's important for us is the attitude and mentality off the pitch and in the changing room.

“He's got to be supportive of the number one but also be aggressive enough to push the number one on a daily basis, and I think Doni represents all that.

“When we approached him the first time, obviously he wanted to be a number one somewhere but he said Liverpool Football Club is such a big club that if we wanted him to come as a number two then he would come.”
