Goalkeeper happy to sign new deal with European champions

Barcelona have agreed a one-year contract extension with back-up goalkeeper Jose Manuel Pinto. The 36-year-old Pinto joined the current European champions in 2008 and has played 38 games for the Catalan giants, conceding 28 goals. Pinto's opportunities have been limited behind obvious first choice Victor Valdes, but the veteran has still been happy to sign a new deal. A statement on Barcelona's official website read: "Barca announce they have reached an agreement with Jose Manuel Pinto to renew his contract with the club for one more season, until June 30, 2013." Pep Guardiola's Barcelona face Osasuna in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night.
