If you can’t quite recall where you’ve heard of Al Qadsiah before, it’s where Real Madrid captain Nacho is headed as well. The Castilla academy graduate ended his career with Los Blancos on a high note after winning the 2024 UEFA Champions League with them.
And now, he will be joined by the former Arsenal and Barcelona forward, who had a brilliant individual performance in the Europa League this past season. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the top scorer of the competition, scoring a whopping 10 goals as his team made it to the semifinals.
He is also the top scorer in the history of the competition, with 34 goals to his name. And now, he is likely set for the final chapter of his career with a payday in Qatar.
