Luis Figo Leaves Inter Milan for Saudi Arabia's Al Ittihad

This past Saturday, Figo's 75th minute free kick became the game winning goal when it went in off Atalanta's Simone Loria. The 2-1 win was first-place Inter's record-tying 11th in a row.

Figo has started just eight matches this season and has appeared as a sub in seven others.

The legendary winger recently retired from international duty having earned his record 127th cap for Portugal in the World Cup 2006 third-place match.

It is speculated that Figo will receive €6 million in the deal.
