Figo set for January exit – reports
Wednesday 27 December, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inter midfielder Luis Figo might leave the San Siro outfit in January to move to Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad, according to reports in Portugal.
The player is not happy with the limited playing time granted by Coach Roberto Mancini and is reportedly close to finalising an 18-month deal with the Jeddah club, for around £3.2m.
The daily newspaper Correio da Manha suggests that the move may take place as early as next week and the speculation is also being fuelled by the Arabian club’s website, which states that ‘Figo will play for the side from January 5.’
José Peseiro, the Coach of Al Hilal, currently top of the table, also confirmed that the 34-year-old player is close to starting a new adventure far from Europe.
“All television programs are opening with this news. Everyone has gone crazy here, if the deal will be finalised, as it seems, our championship will have a player that has no rivals,” explained the tactician.
Figo, who has played 15 matches so far in the season with an average 65 minutes per game, offered a good performance against Atalanta last Saturday, but this does not seem enough to convince Mancini, who has often preferred to field Dejan Stankovic or Santiago Solari instead of the former Real Madrid star, who is allegedly ready to move to a new home in the Middle East.
