Liverpool seal Pellegrino signing
Pellegrino partnered Roberto Ayala at the back for Valencia
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has signed defender Mauricio Pellegrino from his former club Valencia.
The 33-year-old, who has endured an injury-hit season with the La Liga side, joins on a free transfer.
Pellegrino, who joined Valencia in 1999, helped them reach back-to-back finals in the Champions League under Hector Cuper in 2000 and 2001.
He played in the Spanish title-winning sides of 2002 and 2004, and last year's Uefa Cup final win over Marseille.
"I feel very satisfied as it's a personal choice made by Benitez, who was the one to tell me of this possibility," Pellegrino said.
"At my age, it's a great satisfaction that this opportunity comes along. I have always wanted to play in English football."

Rafa, obviously sees him as a safe bet after Diouf. He's even too old for 'Grab a Granny' night at the Grafton and nights out with Rooney's Slags and Slappers.
