Mallorca snare defensive duo
06 Jul 2008 - 10:33:34
Real Mallorca have bolstered their defensive options ahead of the new season with the double capture of Josemi and Ayoze Diaz.
Josemi, 28, has joined the Balearic club from Villarreal, while 26-year-old Ayoze arrives from Racing Santander.
The two full-backs will compete to fill the void created by last month's departure of Fernando Navarro to Sevilla.
"I will try to make sure that Fernando Navarro is hardly remembered," Ayoze told the club's website.
"I want to improve at Mallorca, a team where many important players are arriving."
Meanwhile, attacking midfielder Ariel Ibagaza has left the Son Moix to join Villarreal in a deal worth a reported 1.5million euros.
