Gabriel Milito will be joining Barca after a four year deal has been agreed with Real Zaragoza, with a buy-out clause of 90 Million Euros.


Strong and Athletic Argentine defender, Gabriel Milito is no longer considered a Real Zaragoza player, as the strongman will now be playing for FC Barcelona. Zaragoza and Barcelona have finally agreed on a deal over Gabi Milito, after weeks of talks and discussions between the two clubs saw a final linger of 2 Million Euros seperating the two La Liga teams. Milito will be in Camp Nou afetr the on-going Copa America to discuss personal terms and conditions with the oficials at Barcelona. A deal of around $ Million Euros a year is the most likely take home for Gabi. The 26 year-old Argentine will also go through the routine medical examination by Barca's medical team, after which Gabi will sign the contract and be presented to the fans.
Barca officials are very delighted at having Milito join the super squad. FC Barcelona Sporting Director, Txiki Bergiristain, said:

Milito was the best option. We know him well. He has played in the Spanish League for four years at a very high level. He is a leader both on the field and in the dressing room as well as being a great professional with so many qualities. He is aggressive, quick, strong in the air and has a good left foot.

After being presented to Barca fans and to the press, milito will be given a short break to cool off from the Copa America Championship heat before rejoining Barcelona's squad for the pre-season build up.

Gabriel Milito has indicated before the deal was made, that he wants to play for Barcelona, a decision which went quite far when it was publicly endorsed by his mother, an avid Barca admirer.
