BRISBANE Roar is on the verge of signing former Spain under-21 international midfielder Corona.

Corona, 34, whose full name is Miguel Angel Garcia Perez-Roldan, has played for Spanish club Almeria since 2006.

For six of those years, Almeria played in the Spanish top flight, with Corona having made 300 appearances in all competitions for the club, currently in the second division.

The Roar is understood to have all but agreed to terms with Corona, who had a medical in Spain on Tuesday.

His likely signing is a boost to the Roar midfield ranks following the loss of Luke Brattan.

It also comes hot on the heels of Brisbane’s short-term acquisition of another midfielder, George Lambadaridis, who has signed a two-month injury replacement deal as cover for Brazilian livewire Henrique, who is recovering from a knee reconstruction.
