Independiente clinch deal for Barcelona defender Milito

Independiente have swooped for Barcelona defender Gabriel Milito.

Milito was released from his contract by Barca yesterday and immediately snapped up by Independiente.

The centre-back has signed a three-year contract with the Argentinian outfit, where he began his career and played for six seasons prior to moving to Zaragoza in 2003.

"It's a very emotional day for me. I have many fond memories of Independiente," said Milito on Independiente's website.
