Santi Cazorla is due to leave Al Sadd with his deal in Qatar expiring come to the end of June. He has played in the World Cup hosts’ nation since leaving Villarreal in 2020.
The former Arsenal midfielder became, for many, one of the few Emirates-era legends at the club. Despite turning 37 in December, Cazorla continued to produce and will finish his deal with 27 goals and 26 assists in 57 matches.
Frankly, that is a ridiculous record, even if it may come for the Stars League winners. Cazorla added the back-to-back titles to a Qatar Cup in 2021 and three further pieces of silverware.
