COPENHAGEN -- Danish international midfielder Brian Laudrup has reached an agreement to play for Scotland's Glasgow Rangers for the next three seasons, the Danish national news agency Ritzau reported on Wednesday. The Rangers are to pay $3.3 million to Italy's Fiorentina soccer club for rights to a three-year contract. Laudrup signed a four-year contract with Fiorentina in 1992 but was hired out to Milan last year after the Florence club was relegated to Italy's B series. n Dutch international winger Bryan Roy said on Tuesday he was joining Nottingham Forest from Italian club Foggia. Forest, promoted back to the English premier league after a season in division one, hopes to agree on a fee of about $3.75 million with Foggia. n Cercle Brugge striker Josip Weber, who scored five goals in his international debut for Belgium last Saturday against Zambia, has signed a three-year contract with Belgian league champions Anderlecht. Croatian-born Weber, 29, has been the leading scorer in the Belgian first division for the past three seasons. n Italian midfielder Nicola Berti, 27, extended his contract with Internazionale of Milan for two years. Internazionale officials reported Monday that Berti, a member of Italy's World Cup Squad, signed a contract granting him $1 million a year. (Reuters, AP)
