Uruguayan midfielder on his way to Italy

Serie A outfit Palermo have reached an agreement which will see Uruguay international Arevalo Rios head for Italy in January. The holding midfielder will make his move official once the winter transfer opens. It is reported that Palermo have parted with a fee of around €3.5million (£2.9m). He will arrive in Europe from Mexican outfit Club Tijuana. The much-travelled 29-year-old is set to complete his eighth move in the last five years, but he is now looking to settle. Palermo hope he will be a success in Serie A, with his exploits at the 2011 Copa America initially bringing him to their attention.
