Portugal winger Sergio Conceicao has rejoined former club Lazio the Serie A side announced today.

Lazio said Conceicao, 28, who was freed from his contract with Inter Milan last month, will undergo a medical tomorrow before completing a deal in which he will pick up a 900,000 annual salary.

Conceicao played for the Rome club from 1998 to 2000 and was a key part of then coach Sven Goran Eriksson's championship winning side in 2000 before making a surprise move to Parma.

He then joined Inter in 2001, on striker Christian Vieri's recommendation after the two had enjoyed a fruitful partnership at Lazio.

Lazio face Portuguese side Benfica next Wednesday in their Champions League third qualifying round tie.
