Senna signs new deal at Villarreal

Spain international Marcos Senna has agreed a one-year contract extension at Villarreal that will tie him to the club until 2011.
The 32-year-old midfielder was one of the stars of Euro 2008 and, with Spain boss Luis Aragones having left to manage Fenerbahce after the tournament, he had been widely linked with a move to Turkey.
But Villarreal president Fernando Roig has confirmed that the player has now committed his future to the club and agreed a €100m (£80m) buy-out clause to curb interest from other sides.
“We have decided to renew Marcos Senna’s contract for another year, as he is without doubt a very important player, a player that Villarreal needs in the squad to keep growing,” he told Marca.
“And, for that reason, we have improved his contract and raised the buy-out clause to €100 million. All parties are clear on this matter and everyone is very satisfied.”
Senna insists he is delighted to stay at the club and believes the deal will prevent transfer talk affecting his performances this season.
“I have always stated my desire to stay at Villarreal and it makes me very happy to have my contract extended for three years,” he said.
“Now I can focus solely on playing well for Villarreal and enjoying another great season.”
