Villarreal have confirmed the capture of experienced Brazilian Edmilson on a free transfer from Barcelona.
The 31-year-old defensive midfielder or centre-half has agreed to join the Yellow Submarine on a two-year contract.
Edmilson has steadily fallen down the pecking order at the Camp Nou following his arrival from French side Lyon in 2004.
The 40-times capped international was part of Brazil's 2002 World Cup winning squad but missed out on the 2006 tournament due to a serious knee injury.
"Brazilian central midfielder Edmilson has pledged his future for the next two seasons with Villarreal," read a brief club statement.
