Sergio Rico has unilaterally terminated his contract with the Qatari club Al-Gharafa. He reproaches the club for not registering him for the Asian Champions League and for not honoring his contract, particularly after his recent extension. According to Marca, for several months, Sergio Rico waited to be registered and paid, but the club remained inactive. Rico will remain a free agent while the procedure is examined by FIFA's legal bodies. He is now looking for a new club to continue his career.

Sergio Rico, a 32-year-old Spanish goalkeeper, is nearing the unilateral termination of his contract with Al-Gharafa for just cause. The basis for this action is a serious administrative error by the Qatari club, which did not register the player with the necessary license to compete in the AFC Champions League, and significant arrears in salary payments following his contract renewal. After terminating his contract with PSG and choosing to play in Qatar, Sergio Rico will become a free agent and is seeking a new team, aiming to revive his career after an unsatisfactory experience. The Spanish international has one cap for his country. His current market value is €800k, according to Transfermarkt.
