Marcano to pen Villarreal deal
Ivan Marcano is set to complete his move to Villarreal today after the club reached an agreement with Racing Santander.
Villarreal have confirmed they have struck a deal for Marcano and, pending a successful medical, the 22-year-old will sign a six-year contract and will be presented at 1300 local time today.
Santander-born Marcano came up through the youth ranks at Racing and is a Spain Under-21 international who is principally a centre-back but can also play at left-back.
Villarreal have also announced that midfield playmaker Mati Fernandez is on his way to Sporting Lisbon.
The 23-year-old Chile international joined Villarreal in 2006 from Colo-Colo and played 91 official games for the Primera Division outfit.
