About 50 times representing the Argentine national team, defender Juan Pablo Sorinas moved to Spain and will play for the "Villarreal" club participating in the UEFA Cup. The club's announcement on the official website states that former "Cruzeiro" player J. Sorinas has signed a contract with the Spanish team valid until 2008: "Villarreal, Cruzeiro and Juan Pablo Sorinas have reached an agreement for the player's transfer to the 'yellow' team for the remainder of the season and three more years." 28-year-old Sorinas began his career playing for "River Plate", later moving to "Cruzeiro" and in 2002 was loaned to the Roma team "Lazio". In Italy, the player stayed only until the following January, as he then played for "Barcelona" until the end of the season. Last season, Sorinas represented "PSG" and helped the club win the French Cup, although he was unable to play for a long time due to a thigh injury.
