Qatar’s top club Al Sadd landed yet another mega name in world football when they signed Spanish side Atletico Madrid’s captain Gabi Fernandez on a free transfer, reported Gulf Times.

While there has been no talk about his remuneration, Spanish website Football Espana put it at around €6m over the course of his stay.

Having come through the youth system at the Madrid-based club, Gabi spent four years at Real Zaragoza between 2007 and 2011 before returning to Diego Simeone’s side.

The central midfielder has amassed a total of 414 first-team appearances for the Europa League winners but has never been capped by Spain.

At Al Sadd he will team up with former Barcelona captain Xavi Hernandez.
