Malaga flex spending power with deal for Baptista, Atletico Madrid pair

Malaga have clinched the signing of AS Roma attacker Julio Baptista.

Malaga agreed terms for Bayern Munich's Martin Demichelis last week, and they have now followed that up with moves for Baptista, and Atletico Madrid duo Ignacio Camacho and Sergio Asenjo.

Malaga director Jose Carlos Perez confirmed the deals are in place for Camacho, Asenjo and Baptista - who will officially join on January 1, along with Demichelis.

"Camacho will remain for the season and four more. There may be an option to re-purchase," he said.

"In principle, there is also an agreement with Asenjo."

He confirmed Baptista has agreed a deal until 2013, saying: "He has signed for two-and-a-half years and the transfer is €2million with Roma."
