Lima Pens Five Year Betis Deal
Quote:
Betis have landed Brazilian defender Lima from Corinthians as they continue to rebuild under Hector Cuper...
Lima has put pen to paper at Real Betis on a 5 year contract in a transfer worth 3 million euros.
The former Corinthians youth has been on an extended loan at Atletico Miniero, but now his agent says that he is "crazy" about the prospect of lining up for the verdiblancos.
The agent continued, "He's very excited. He comes with the intention of staying. He's spoken very well of the club and the city."
The centre-back, aged 22 and almost 6 feet tall, is Betis' fifth signing of the summer, and is described by his new club as being "powerful, with great technique."
Tomorrow he will undergo medical tests in Seville, where he is already staying. He also must ensure that his Italian ancestry papers are in order, so that he will not count as one of three designated foreigners in the Beticos squad.

Possible Juanito replacement. Betis also linked to Somoza from Villarreal and also Ledesma from Lazio but the rumoured price on that one is £14m. I can guarantee you myself that if they did get Ledesma then it wouldn't be for that much, they're not rich.
