Ex-Argentina striker Lopez joins Brazil’s Internacional
Rio De Janeiro: Former Argentina international striker Lisandro Lopez signed a four-month contract with Brazil’s Internacional, the outfit announced.
The 31-year-old joins the club for an undisclosed fee from Qatar’s Al-Gharafa, as per reported Friday.
The signing is understood to have been a special request from Internacional coach Diego Aguirre, Lopez’s manager at Al-Gharafa last year.
“I came here because it’s one of the biggest clubs in Brazil and I wanted to play in this league,” Lopez said during a press conference.
The deal will reinforce Internacional’s attack for their current Copa Libertadores campaign as they bid to win South America’s top club trophy for a third time.
It includes the option of a two-year extension, should the player and club agree.
The former Porto and Lyon forward said he was willing to play anywhere on the pitch for his new team.
“I’ve played in all positions from midfield to attack. My best position is centre-forward with freedom to move around. But it comes down to what the manager wants.”
Internacional are currently second in their Copa Libertadores group with three points from their first two matches.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
