Leonel Angel Coira has signed with the Spanish giant and will begin training on Sept. 6, Madrid spokesman Juan Tapiador told the Associated Press. Argentine sports daily Ole reported last week that Coira had become the youngest ever signing by Madrid but Tapiador said he is not. Coira told Ole that his hero was Barcelona and Argentina star Lionel Messi, who also goes by the name Leo. Coira says he prefers “to provide the pass” than to score. Ole said Real, the world's biggest club, made the push to sign Coira with Spanish league rival Atletico Madrid also pursuing the youngster. Hart staying at City Manchester City's England goalkeeper Joe Hart has signed a new five-year contract, the Premier League club said Monday. The 24-year-old established himself as the club's number one last season, ousting Shay Given who has since moved to Aston Villa. City did not provide financial details of the deal which keeps Hart at the world's richest club until 2016 but local media have reported he will treble his wages. City kicks off its Premier League campaign next Monday at home to promoted Swansea City and is seeking a first league title since 1968.
