‘Happy’ Sneijder joins Qatar’s Al Gharafa
Print Edition
A BEAMING Wesley Sneijder said he had turned down offers “from everywhere” to play in Qatar as the Dutch star was unveiled by Al Gharafa in Doha on Monday.
The former Ajax, Real Madrid and Inter Milan star said he was “happy” to be in the Middle East and could not wait to play football again after a disappointing few months at French Ligue 1 side Nice. The 33-year-old has signed an 18-month contract with the mid-table Qatari side and could make his debut as early as Friday, when Al Gharafa take on Al Ahli in a league match. “To be honest, my choice to come here was to play football,” Sneijder said. “There was speculation about me going to the US, about going to China or others, but I never read about ‘he will go to Qatar.’”
