Football Transfer Update: Roma’s Cicinho out on loan for 6 months to Villarreal
News has just flown in of Villarreal signing in a contract with right back Cicinho. The full back who has also been called on international duty by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603.
Now however the player will play till the end of this season with Spanish outfit Villarreal. The contract also included a clause which allows the Yellow Submarines of acquiring a permanent contract with the player.
It is much expected the 30-year-old player will spend the rest of his career with Villarreal, especially if the veteran shows good form in their ranks.
Confirmation news of the former Sao Paulo player came on the club’s official website. There was no clear news however on the future of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cicinho-c9251 with El Submarino Amarillo.
This is an unexpectedly fast reaction from the Yellow Submarines after they learnt the fate of their star defender Angel Lopez. Medical team of the club has informed their defender to be out for the rest of the season, since then they have been scouting the
market for a new player to fit in their ranks.
Lopez has ruptured his knee ligaments in the match against footballing giants Real Madrid. They lost the match humiliatingly 4-2 however, the defeat was not the only thing that left a scar on their campaign.
The statement on the club’s official website stated, “Villarreal CF and AS Roma have reached an agreement for the transfer of Brazilian right-back Cicero Joao Cezar, 'Cicinho', who will play at Villarreal until end of the 2010-11 season. Although his stay
with the club is scheduled for six months, Villarreal has reserved an option to purchase the Brazilian defender.”
It continued, “Once Cicinho undergoes his medical, he will train behind closed doors at El Madrigal and then appear at a press conference open only to the media at the end of the training session, around 12.30.”
The 30-year-old has shown inconsistency in Roma hence he was also loaned off during 2010. Prior to that, he has been tested for a couple of seasons but he has only made 6 appearances in them.
The former Real Madrid player can also boast about a season with Los Blancos but his lack of form forced him to play for Sao Paulo again in 2010. Now Cicinho has a chance to reignite his career and end on a flashing note but for that he will have to put
in a Herculean effort.
