TRANSFER:ADRIANO RESSURRECTS AGAIN

Former Inter Milan and Brazil striker Adriano, who has not played a competitive match for nearly two years, has joined Atletico Paranaense for their tilt at the Libertadores Cup this year.

Paranaense, finalists in South America's top club competition in 2005, play their Group One opener at home to Bolivia's The Strongest in Curitiba on Wednesday night.
"I'm very happy to sign a contract with Atletico Paranaense ... (for) the chance to return to football with the Furacao (Hurricane)," Adriano told the club's website.
