Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Al-Wehda they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Morato in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Al-Wehda this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

In brief
