Benfica Complete Capdevila Transfer

Benfica have announced the signing of Villarreal defender Joan Capdevila on a two-year deal.

No details of the fee were announced, but the Portuguese club did reveal that the 33-year-old's contract includes a €20million (£17.6million) buy-out clause.

The full-back, who has won 57 caps for Spain and featured in the victorious UEFA EURO 2008 and 2010 FIFA World Cup™ campaigns, will be expected to fill the void left by Portugal international Fabio Coentrao's departure to Real Madrid.

Capdevila made 145 appearances in four seasons with the Yellow Submarine, scoring 15 goals.
