Recoba to become Qatar hero?
Friday 23 May, 2008

Reports in the peninsula suggest that Inter outcast Alvaro Recoba could end a decade in Italy by relocating to Qatar.

Roberto Mancini decided that the Uruguayan striker was surplus to requirements last summer after a two frustrating seasons of inconsistency and injury.

Recoba was sent on loan to Torino where he hoped to re-launch his career, but instead he fell flat with just one goal all season.

With the Granata not looking to secure El Chino’s services on a permanent basis and Inter enjoying an abundance of attacking options, the 32-year-old’s future is up in the air and may not lie in Serie A.

It seems that a big-money offer has arrived from Qatar outfit Al Gharrafa – a side that lists ex-Milan stopper Marcel Desailly amongst their alumni.

Sources state that Recoba is expected in Doha next week to meet the club’s directors.
