The wait to find out what the future of the Ecuadorian Gonzalo Plata will be has come to an end: on Sunday, he was announced as a new reinforcement of the Qatari Al Sadd. The 22-year-old footballer arrives from the Spanish Real Valladolid and will leave Europe very early, which is why his transfer is questionable.

Carlos Tenorio, a former Ecuadorian soccer player, took to social media and sent a message of support to Plata after the decision.

The former world champion with Ecuador in Germany in 2006 also found himself in Qatari football in the same team that Plata signed for, which is why he defended the choice of the young tricolor.

The former winger of Independiente del Valle has already completed the first training session with the Qatari team, and in addition, he received an invitation to perform at the thirtieth edition of the King Salman Club Cup, and this Tuesday he is going to Saudi Abha with the club. (D)
