The Qatari club Al -Duhail succeeded in resolving the race to sign the Cameroonian defender Jean Charles Castillto, the French player Nante, after he excelled with a larger financial offer than his Emirati counterpart Al -Jazira, to join the international defender to the team’s ranks pending the official announcement within days.
Why did Castilito choose to join Al -Duhail?
Castilito was close to signing with the Emirati club Al -Jazira, and has already undergone a medical examination in preparation for joining the team. However, the difference in the financial compensation caused the deal to stop temporarily, to show the Qatari Duhail in the picture and kidnap the player with a higher financial offer.
According to French journalist Santi Ona, the player passed the medical examination with Al -Duhail, and the official announcement remains only. He also had a medical examination with Al -Wakra Club, but the negotiations did not reach a final agreement.
The financial offer was decisive in the decision
Initially, Castilito agreed to the island’s offer of $ 1.5 million annually, but Al -Duhail’s entry with an annual salary of $ 2.5 million changed the entire negotiation course. The highest offer was not only attractive financially, but also expressed Al -Duhail’s seriousness in including the player and strengthening his back line before the start of the new season.
Castilito .. a strong defensive biography
Jean Charles Castilito is one of the most prominent Cameroonian defenders in recent years, as he starred in the French league with a Nante shirt and participated in a large number of matches in Lig1.
The 29 -year -old defender is characterized by his physical strength, and his good reading of matches, as well as his great experience in European stadiums, which makes him a strong addition to Al -Duhail, looking to support his defenses in the Qatar Stars League.
The date of the official announcement and expectations with early participation
Expectations indicate that the official announcement of the deal will take place within the next few days, to start the preparation period with his new team in preparation for the 2025-2026 season, in which Al-Duhail seeks to compete strongly for the Qatari league title, and restore his luster at the local and continental level.
