Spain has been enriched with two new players: Brazilian goalkeeper Rafael Sobis and Madrid defender Ruben.
21-year-old R. Sobis was also a target for the powerful "Milan" club, but ultimately won the fight for "Racing". A member of the Brazilian youth team, Sobis could become a very good acquisition for a Spanish club since, according to experts, the goalkeeper should debut in the near future and also in the Brazilian national team.
The goalkeeper left the "Internacional" team and admitted that it was difficult to leave the current "Copa Libertadores" champions.
"It's hard to leave a team that I love very much," he said. "But that's part of football."
Meanwhile, defender Ruben moved to Santander from Madrid's "Real" team after the new club coach Fabio Capello informed the player that he did not fit into his future plans.
The 24-year-old player, who had previously been loaned to "Gladbach" and "Albacete" teams, signed a two-year contract and will help fill the gap in the left defensive side, as Jose Moratonas suffered a very serious knee injury.
