Zaragoza crown Cesar move

Real Zaragoza have signed the former Real Madrid keeper Cesar on a free transfer, the club said on Monday. The 33-year-old joined Real from Valladolid in 2000 but had to live in the shadow of Spain international Iker Casillas for most of his five years in the capital.

After being replaced by Casillas due to injury near the end of the Champions League final against Bayer Leverkusen in 2002, Cesar found his opportunities in the first team largely restricted to appearances in the Copa del Rey.
Zaragoza keeper Cesar Lainez has just retired while Luis Garcia is currently being linked with a loan move to Getafe.
The future of Raul Valbuena, who spent last season on loan at relegated Albacete, remains unclear.
