Fabricio Coloccini has called time on his Newcastle United career and leaves St James's Park after eight years on Tyneside - according to San Lorenzo manager Diego Aguirre.
The former captain has reportedly signed for the Argentinian side after a three-year pursuit by the Primera Division club.
San Lorenzo coach Diego Aguirre said: "Coloccini will be very welcome. He will bring much to the club on and off the field."
