Sporting Lisbon have complete the transfer of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-Capel-c11100 from Sevilla – Report
If reports in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 are to be believed, Sporting Lisbon have sealed a deal with La Liga outfit, Sevilla, for their star winger, Diego Capel, for a fee believed to be in the region of €4 million to €6 million.
The Spanish International was being pursued by the Lions for the last couple of weeks and it appears that they have finally landed their man, who will now put pen to paper on a five-year deal with the club.
The move was all but confirmed when the Spanish International’s uncle, Carioca Capel, revealed that his nephew was on the verge of a switch to Estadio da Luz.
"It all happened so fast. He will travel tomorrow [Tuesday] to Portugal and will be presented in Lisbon on Wednesday. He will sign for five years," Carioca Capel was quoted as saying.
The acquisition is a great bargain for Sporting, as Capel’s buyout clause valued at a whopping €30 million but the Lisbon side succeeded in purchasing his services for a very smaller figure. Initially, the Sevillistas demanded a hefty €10 million for their
prized asset, however, the Spanish club agreed to terms of their Portuguese counterparts after extended negotiations.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Bale-c14422 and the acquisition of other major targets such as Rafael
Van der Vaart.
The 23-year-old is an out and out wide midfielder, who is yet to reach his peak. Although he is not in the prime of his career, he is still relatively experienced due to his exploits with the Spanish national team at different levels.
Sporting’s spending spree has not only seen them buy Capel but the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186.
With Manchester City and Real Madrid proving that spending big can buy you success, it looks like Sporting are on the right track to winning silverware but it remains to be seen what role Diego Capel will play in their endeavours.
