Barça Mobicat have reached an agreement with former Caja Segovia star Carlos Muñoz to join the club until 2010, but he will not be able to make his debut until next year.

The winter transfer window does open until January 1, 2009 and that is when Muñoz will finally make his move to the Blaugrana official. The Madrilenian has agreed a deal to move to the Catalan outfit for the rest of the current season the whole of the next one.

Speaking to Barça TV and www.fcbarcelona.cat, the latest addition the Mobicat-sponsored team said that he is “proud as any player would be” to sign for the czlub and added that “all my expectations are now fulfilled.”

Previous teams

Muñoz reached the agreement to join Barça after mutually rescinding his contract, that ran until the end of the current campaign, with Caja Segovia where he spent the last two seasons. He came through the ranks at Carnicer Torrejón, where he played for seven years, between 1999/00 and 2005/06.

Starting training

Now Muñoz will have to spend some time without playing while he waits to be officially allowed to sign for Barcelona in January. Until then he will train with his new team-mates and learn all about the tactics and their way of playing. “The worst thing is signing at this time because the World Cup is coming up and I will be unable to play for two months. That will be noticed.”

Praising new team-mates

Looking at his new colleagues, Muñoz was full of praise for the players he will be teaming up with. “There is a greta squad and in the last couple of years they have started to move up,” he said. “They are a big club that will be aiming to win a cup and reach the league play-offs.”
