Despite the fact that in Europe the summer market has been closed since September 1st and in Saudi Arabia, the transfer window was closed on the evening of September 7th, the teams of the Middle East are continuing to “kidnap” pretty well-known players in European football.
The latest is the Brazilian “fantasist” of Aston Villa, Philippe Coutinho, who has been loaned from the English club to the Al-Duhal team, a team that competes in the elite category of football in Qatar.
The former “star” of Inter, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Barcelona will stay for one year at his new team, with the latter having taken over the Brazilian’s salary in full, thus easing the expenses of the English club.
