Shot-stopper pens one-year contract, with option for a second

Barcelona have made back-up goalkeeper Jose Manuel Pinto's move to the Camp Nou permanent. The shot-stopper joined the club in January as cover for the injured regular back-up keeper Albert Jorquera. The 32-year-old made his debut in April against Deportivo La Coruna and has since played on two more occasions. Barcelona have paid second division side Celta Vigo 500,000 euros (£392,000) to make his switch permanent. Pinto signed a one-year contract on Friday, with an option for a second.
