Agent Who Brokered The Deal That Took Cicinho To Real Madrid Scouring Nigeria For Talents

Italian Federation licensed intermediary Antimo Maisto and Bari FC youth team coach Corrado Cotta will storm Lagos today for the second edition of Real Sapphire Football Club U19 Frank Peter's Cup that will hold May 24-27.

Football manager Michael Nicholas who is working in collaboration with Real Sapphire FC confirmed the visit to allnigeriasoccer.com.

''Yes they are coming to Lagos for scouting of players in the tournament and take the selected ones to Europe to further their football careers,'' Nicholas stated.

Antimo Maisto was the agent that brokered the deal that took ex-Brazil international Cicinho from São Paulo to Real Madrid FC in the 2006-2007 season.

Maisto and Cotta departed Rome this morning for the tournament taking place at the Onikan Stadium.
