Spanish forward Rafa Mujica has signed a four-year deal with Al Sadd, the reigning Qatar Stars League and Amir Cup champions, starting from the 2024-2025 season. Mujica, who represented Spain at the U19 level, is joining Al Sadd from Portuguese side FC Arouca. The 25-year-old expressed his excitement about joining the successful Qatari club and his ambition to achieve great things with them in the upcoming season.
Mujica’s journey to Al Sadd has seen him move from Leeds United, where he struggled to establish himself despite signing a three-year contract in 2019. After a series of loan spells, he left Leeds permanently in 2021 to join Las Palmas on a loan deal that became a permanent move. Following his time in Spain, Mujica made the move to Portugal to play for Arouca in 2022. His time at Arouca has seen him start to shine in front of goal, with 37 goals in 68 appearances across all competitions, including 20 goals in Portugal’s top flight this season.
Al Sadd, under the guidance of coach Wesam Rizk, had a successful domestic season, claiming a double in the league and cup. However, their performance in the AFC Champions League was not as impressive. With the addition of Mujica to their squad, Al Sadd will be looking to strengthen their team and make a mark in international competitions.
Mujica’s signing with Al Sadd has generated excitement among fans of the Qatari club, who are eager to see how the Spanish forward will contribute to their team’s success. With his proven goal-scoring ability and experience playing in different leagues, Mujica could be a valuable asset to Al Sadd as they aim for continued success in both domestic and international competitions.
The 25-year-old forward’s statement upon joining the club reflects his determination to make an impact with his new team and help them achieve their goals. With his passion for the game and enthusiasm for this new phase of his career, Mujica is poised to make a significant contribution to Al Sadd’s future successes on the field.
As Al Sadd prepares for the upcoming season with Mujica in their ranks, fans and observers will be watching closely to see how the Spanish forward integrates into the team and performs on the pitch. With his talent and drive to succeed, Mujica has the potential to become a key player for Al Sadd and help them build on their recent domestic success in Qatar.
