San Lorenzo have announced they've signed Real Zaragoza midfielder Andres D'Alessandro.

The Argentine club's president, Rafael Savino, told Radio La Plate yesterday that a group of investors had paid a fee for 50 per cent of D'Alessandro's registration and that the player would be immediately available to coach Ramon Diaz.

No figures were mentioned, though it's understood Zaragoza will have accepted £2.5 million for half of D'Alessandro's contract.
