Roma defender joins Villarreal

Cicinho will stay on loan at the Spanish side for six-months.

“Villarreal CF and AS Roma have reached an agreement for the transfer of Brazilian right-back Cicero Joao Cezar, ‘Cicinho’, who will play at Villarreal until end of the 2010-11 season. Although his stay with the club is scheduled for six months, Villarreal has reserved an option to purchase the Brazilian defender,” read a statement on villarrealcf.es.

“Once Cicinho undergoes his medical, he will train behind closed doors at El Madrigal and then appear at a press conference open only to the media at the end of the training session, around 12.30.”
