Newcastle sign Argentinian

by Laurent Picard, 07 August 2008

 

Fabricio Coloccini has been transferred to Newcastle United for ₤12 million according to Spanish club Deportivo La Coruna.

 

Kevin Keegan’s Magpies are yet to confirm the deal is done, while the player is due to express his thoughts about the move during a press conference on Thursday in Galicia.

 

Argentina international Coloccini urged his employers to allow him to sign what has been called ‘the contract of his life’ by his agent, and it appears an agreement has been found.

 

Deportivo’s official website announce that a verbal agreement was reached last week between both top flight clubs, and that the documents have been officially signed.

 

The centre back joined Depor from Milan four seasons ago, established himself as one of the best defenders in La Liga, and has been transferred for ₤12 million at the age of 26.

 

"The Argentina international is, starting from tonight (Wednesday), a Newcastle player,” read a statement on Depor’s official website.

 

Coloccini is the second centre half to join The Magpies this summer after Frenchman Sebastien Bassong from Metz.

Coloccini will fly into Tyneside to sign a five-year deal this morning after Deportivo finally agreed to a £9.1m deal that will make the 26-year-old the most expensive defender in Newcastle’s history.

 

Who was it before Boumsong? :blush:
