Brazilian midfielder Geovanni is keen make a permanent move to Portsmouth, according to the player's agent.
Geovanni, 27, is a free agent and is currently on a two-week training period at Fratton Park where he is hoping to impress manager Harry Redknapp.
The attacking midfielder starred in a striking role in Pompey's 2-0 friendly win over Yeovil on Saturday, where he set up Tresor Lomana Lua Lua for the first and scored the second.
On the back of that performance, his agent, Regi Pereira, has revealed that Geovanni is desperate to stay at the club.
"Geovanni wants to play in England and he wants to stay with Harry at this football club," Pereira told The Portsmouth News.
"He is here for two weeks, just for adaptation, it's not a trial.
"If he likes it and Harry likes him then he will sign, he wants a change and likes England.
"Geovanni is a quality player and I hope Portsmouth sign him.
"He would be very interested and we will have to see what the outcome is."
Geovanni has previously played for Barcelona, who he joined from Brazilian outfit Cruzeiro in a £13.28million move after impressing in the 2000 Olympic Games.
More recently Geovanni, who was named in the Brazilian squad for the 2001 Copa America, has played for Benfica where he is perhaps best remembered for his goal in the 2-1 win over Manchester United in the 2006 UEFA Champions League group stages.
