Emirati-Argentine striker Sebastian Tagliabue has joined Arabian Gulf League side Al Nasr, the club confirmed on Friday.
The 35-year-old, who was granted UAE citizenship in January, joins The Blues on a two-year contract.
"Al Nasr have signed Sebastian Tagliabue on a two-year contract and he will defend the colours of the Blue Wave," the club said on Friday.
Tagliabue, the highest scorer among foreigners in the UAE top flight, joins from Abu Dhabi giants Al Wahda after his contract was not renewed by The Clarets.
Tagliabue, who is the second highest goalscorer in UAE club football with 158 from 177 appearances, behind former Al Wasl star Fahad Khamis who has 166 goals from 230 games, spent seven seasons with Al Wahda, winning the prestigious President's Cup in the 2016-17 season.
He also won the Arabian Gulf Cup in the 2017-18 season and the Arabian Gulf Super Cup twice in 2017 and 2018.
Tagliabue was the Arabian Gulf League's top scorer in 2015-16 and 2018-19. He is second in the current campaign that has been disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, with 15 goals from 19 appearances, behind Al Ain's Kodjo Laba, who has 19 from 18 fixtures.
In January, Tagliabue was given UAE passports along with Al Ain's Caio Canedo and Al Wasl's Fabio de Lima, paving the way for them to be eligible for the UAE National team.
Prior to his foray in the UAE, Tagliabue played for Saudi Arabian clubs Al Ettifaq and Al Shabab. He was also the Saudi Professional League top scorer in 2012-13.
