Cufré Looks For Spanish Move Monaco full-back Leandro Cufré wants a move to Spain, with Valencia and Villarreal said to be considering moves for the

Cufré, 29, signed for Monaco in 2006 but has fallen out with the Principality club and now feels his career will be best served by a move to Spain, thus alerting the attention of a number of Primera Division clubs.

The full-back expects to negotiate a release from his Monaco contract with the next few days and once he does he will be free to negotiate with any teams that are interested.

Local rivals Valencia and Villarreal are said to be leading the chase for his signature, although other parties are interested and there are sure to be plenty of offers on the table for the Argentine international.

Cufré is best known to international observers for being the player who jumped off the bench at the end of the Argentina - Germany match at the 2004 World Cup and attacked Per Mertesacker, landing himself a red-card without ever taking part in the game, alongside a four-match ban from international competition.

He is highly rated in some circles and has played for Argentina at Under-20 level as well as at senior level, so it is certainly an attractive proposition for many La Liga clubs when such a player is available without a transfer fee.
