As reported on Derby County Mad yesterday, Tito Villa is to leave. The Rams have today revealed that the deal will be worth £1.7m a net loss of £300,000 on Villa who cost Derby County £2m just 18 months ago from Tecos.Villa will now be playing his football for Cruz Azul who have been Mexican Champions on eight occasions but have not won the title for over 10 years, their last title was in 1997.
Tito is no stranger to Mexican football, having played in the league before. He looks forward to a new challenge with Cruz Azul.
It is hoped the money raised by the sale will be used to strengthen Nigel Cloughs squad as they return to pre-season training today (Wednesday 1st July).
All at Derby County Mad wish him well with his new team...
