Lucho to Qatar

The Argentine international midfielder Lucho Gonzalez will leave FC Porto where he played from 2012 to join a Qatari club, said the Portuguese coach Paulo Fonseca club.

"FC Porto was sensitive to the demands of the player who wanted to take a different path," said Paulo Fonseca, whose remarks were reported Sunday by the Portuguese press.

According to sports daily o Jogo, Lucho, 33, will sign a contract of 15 months, estimated at 4.5 million euros, with the Qatari club Al Rayyan.

With FC Porto, where he played from 2005 to 2009 and from 2012, from Marseille, "El Comandante" won six league titles in Portugal.

To replace the FC Porto does not count recruit but to appeal to players of the club, said Paulo Fonseca.
