FC Porto confirmed tonight that they have paid €6.65m to acquire the remaining 50 per cent of Argentina midfielder Lucho González's playing rights.
Improved deal
The 26-year-old arrived at the northern club from CA River Plate in summer 2005, and last November penned an improved contract tying him to the Estadio do Dragão club until 2011. Lucho has scored in 19 Liga goals in 60 appearances over two seasons at Porto, both of which ended in title glory. Porto, who will play in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, also announced that they had rejected an approach from Everton FC in England for the player.
