Belhadj joins Al Sadd
Eleven-time Qatar league champions Al Sadd have announced the signing of Algeria international Nadir Belhadj from Portsmouth.
Al Sadd confirmed they have agreed terms with Pompey for the 28-year-old defender to join them on a permanent deal.
Belhadj joined Portsmouth from French side Lens in 2009.
"The move of Belhadj to Al Sadd is really big as he will be a big addition to the team," said Al Sadd general secretary Jassim Al Rumaihi to the club's official website.
"We were planning to sign him a long time ago and we managed to conclude the deal with Portsmouth. Belhadj had a lot offers from European clubs but his desire to play with us helped us to make the deal.
"He will join us in our training camp in Italy and Austria before being presented to the media when we return to Doha."
