Alkmaar defender Kromkamp to sign for Villarreal
 
MADRID, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Dutch international defender Jan Kromkamp has reached an agreement to join Villarreal, the Primera Liga club said on Tuesday.

Villarreal said that the 24-year-old right back, who has played for AZ Alkmaar since 2000, would sign a contract for four or five years with the club.

According to Spanish media reports, Villarreal are expected to pay around six million euros ($7.26 million) for the defender.

Kromkamp played an instrumental role in the Dutch side's run to the semi-finals of last season's UEFA Cup and gave an impressive display against Villarreal when they knocked the Spaniards out in the quarter-finals.

As well as Kromkamp, Villarreal have also signed Italian midfielder Alessio Tacchinardi, Argentine goalkeeper Mariano Barbosa and Ecuador midfielder Antonio Valencia to strengthen their squad in the close season.

The club are preparing for a difficult tie against Everton in the third qualifying round of the Champions League after finishing in a best ever third place in the Primera Liga last season.

Uruguay captain Montero signs for San Lorenzo
 
BUENOS AIRES, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Uruguay captain Paolo Montero has signed a one-year contract to play for Argentine club San Lorenzo, a club spokesman said.

The 33-year-old, who has won 57 international caps, had spent the last 13 seasons in Italy, firstly with Atalanta and then with Juventus.

"I'm grateful for everything that Italy's given me but I've turned down other offers to continue in Europe," Montero said in a radio interview on Wednesday before agreeing terms.
 
"After 13 seasons, it's time to come back," added Montero, who has earned a reputation as one of the game's most ruthless defenders.

"Money's not important but I want to train with a group," said Montero, who has been training alone since leaving Italy.

San Lorenzo, who finished 16th in the Clausura championship held in the first half of the year, have also signed 34-year-old Paraguay striker Jose Cardozo from Mexico's Toluca.

Luiz Alberto to leave Sociedad and sign for Santos
 
MADRID, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Real Sociedad defender Luiz Alberto will be returning to his home country of Brazil to play for Santos, he announced on Thursday.

"I'm hoping to travel to Brazil as soon as possible, either today or tomorrow, to pass a medical and sign a contract," the 27-year-old centre-back told a news conference in San Sebastian.

Luiz Alberto signed for Sociedad from St Etienne in January 2001 on the recommendation of then coach John Toshack, but was loaned out first to Porto Alegre and then Atletico Mineiro following the Welshman's dismissal in March 2002.

He returned to Sociedad last season and became a regular first-choice in the back four, playing 28 of the team's 38 league games.

\Romania defender Contra to sign loan deal with Getafe
 
MADRID, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid's Romanian international defender Cosmin Contra will join Getafe in a loan deal until the end of next season, the Primera Liga club said on Thursday.

The 29-year-old right back, who spent last season on loan at West Bromwich Albion and then Romanian first division side Poli AEK Timisoara, joined Atletico in 2002 and still has two years to run on his contract with the Primera Liga side.

Contra moved to Spain in 1999 when he signed for Alaves from Dinamo Bucharest. He had two brilliant seasons with the modest Basque side and played a big part in their shock run to the final of the UEFA Cup in 2001.

He moved to AC Milan immediately after the final but failed to earn himself a regular place in the starting line-up and returned to Spain a year later to sign for Atletico.

A serious ankle injury sustained at the start of the 2003-2004 season hampered his progress at the club and he has struggled to find his form since.
 
------------------------------Atletico Mineiro coach resigns twice in five days
 
RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Atletico Mineiro coach Tite has resigned for the second time in five days following Wednesday night's 2-2 draw with fellow strugglers Paysandu in the Brazilian championship.

Tite, who also lost his job at Corinthians earlier in the year, quit for the first time following Saturday's 3-1 defeat by Goias.

The directors persuaded him to stay on but he resigned again after watching his side twice throw away the lead against the championship's bottom club, Atletico said on their official website.
 
 
"I'm frustrated," Tite told reporters after becoming the 18th coaching victim of the championship which started on April 23.

"Usually, I have left teams with a stamp of quality but this time it didn't work out."

Atletico, who won the inaugural Brazilian championship in 1971, are 21st in the 22-team table with 13 points, ahead of Paysandu on goal difference.

Meanwhile, second-placed Ponte Preta named former Brazil goalkeeper Zetti as their new coach.

Zettti, who led Fortaleza to promotion from the second division last year, replaces Oswaldo Alvarez, who left the team to take over at Japan's Tokyo Verdy.

Konstantinidis returns to PAOK from Panathinaikos
 
ATHENS, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Greek international midfielder Pantelis Konstantinidis completed his return to former club PAOK Salonika when he signed a one-year contract with the option of a second, the club announced on Friday.

The 29-year-old, who has 20 caps, has spent the last three years at Panathinaikos with whom he won the league and cup double in 2003/4.

He is the second big name to return to PAOK in the off-season following the signing of Greek captain Thodoris Zagorakis from Bologna.

 
"I am very satisfied that I am returning to PAOK," said Konstantinidis.

"I return feeling more mature and more experienced and I believe that together with the other players I will help the team reach its goals."

Panathinaikos, meanwhile, are expected to complete the loan signing of Hungarian striker Sandor Torghelle from relegated English club Crystal Palace in the coming days.

Figo moves from Real to Inter Milan
 
By Simon Evans

MILAN, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Former World and European Footballer of the Year Luis Figo signed for Inter Milan on Friday, ending his five-year spell with Real Madrid.

The 32-year-old Portuguese international had a year left on his contract with the Spanish club but after completing a medical agreed a two-year deal with Inter.

Real spent a then world record $56 million to buy Figo from rivals Barcelona in July 2000 in one of the most controversial transfers in Spanish football history.

Figo becomes the third player to move from Real to Inter during the close season following Argentines Santiago Solari and Walter Samuel as Inter coach Roberto Mancini looks to end the clubs 16 year wait for an Italian title.

The skillful winger will operate in a midfield featuring Argentine internationals Juan Sebastian Veron and Esteban Cambiasso and will be expected to provide the ammunition for Inter's prolific Brazilian striker Adriano.

Despite remaining one of the biggest names in the game, Figo will have a point to prove at Inter following a disappointing end to his time in Madrid.

The winger fell out with Real coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo after being consigned to the bench for the latter part of last season and had been given permission to negotiate with other clubs.

Real are reported not to have demanded a fee for the player who had also been linked with Liverpool and Valencia.

Figo began his career at his home club of Sporting Lisbon, making his name as part of the golden generation of Portuguese youngsters who won the World under-16 and under-20 championships in 1989 and 1991.

He moved to Spain in 1995 to sign for Barcelona, quickly becoming a favourite among the club's fans for his committed and skilful performances on the right wing.

He won seven trophies in a five-year spell at the Catalan club, including two league titles, two King's Cups and the Cup Winners' Cup.


But Figo was transformed from hero to villain in the eyes of the Nou Camp faithful when he defected to arch-rivals Real in July 2000.
