Although now all of Europe is in the mood of waiting for the upcoming European Championship, football club leaders are not wasting time. In recent days, changes have occurred in several clubs in Spain.
The veteran goalkeeper Alberto extended his contract with the club for another year. Although he has been just the second goalkeeper of the team throughout the season, it is believed that the 35-year-old Alberto will have the role of the first goalkeeper next year. Since the contract of the main team's goalkeeper Sander Westerveld will expire next summer, it is said that "Real Sociedad" will better sell the player this summer than let him leave freely next year.
Another Spanish club, which will play in the UEFA Cup next year, started strengthening its squad. The club bought forward Aritz Makukula, who was loaned to "Valladolid" last season but spent almost the entire season recovering from a serious knee injury. In the competition for this player, "Sevilla" surpassed the "Betis" and "Atletico" clubs. It is said that "Nantes" will pay 3 million euros (10.5 million litas) for this player from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Meanwhile, the team was reinforced by Argentine Gonzalo Rodriguez from "San Lorenzo." It is believed that the player signed a five-year contract with the "Yellow Submarines," worth about 3 million euros. The transfer fee for this highly valued 20-year-old player in his country is not disclosed, but "San Lorenzo" stated that they are very satisfied with the deal.
Sevilla announced yesterday that Llorencas Serra Ferreras became the new coach of the team. He will replace Victor Fernandez, who left the club on Tuesday, apologized to the club's supporters for failing to secure a place in the UEFA Cup. This will be the second time Ferreras will lead "Betis" - he previously managed the club from 1993 to 1997. He has also managed the youth team of "Barcelona" in his career.
