The ongoing summer time switch window has seen loads of gamers transfer to Saudi Arabia from Europe, suprising followers to an enormous extent. It all started with Cristiano Ronaldo’s transfer to Al Nassr within the Saudi Pro League after the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Now within the ongoing window, the likes of N’Golo Kante, Riyad Mahrez, Karim Benzema, Roberto Firmino have moved to Saudi Arabia.
Karim Benzema has adopted Cristiano Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia.
Currently, Saudi Pro League golf equipment have spent more cash than many main European sides within the ongoing window. The league has reportedly spent round 420 million euros (in keeping with transfermarkt.com). This week, Al Nassr signed Bayern Munich’s Sadio Mane for a reported 30 million euros switch payment. Meanwhile, former Liverpool captain has been signed by Al Ettifaq for 14 million euros.
Speaking by way of OLGB, Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke criticised the transfers to Saudi Arabia, and attributed it to the age of gamers. “The age of the Saudi Pro League is not good enough to be in the Champions League. The players who have joined that league, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, N’Golo Kante and Karim Benzema, they were all in Europe when they were in their prime, they’ve gone to the Saudi Arabian league now they’re in their mid-thirties,” he stated.
“Everyone knows when you reach that age, you’re on the last legs of your footballing career. Those big names resonate well with European football, but that’s only because they were in their prime in Europe, they’ve gone to the Saudi league because they’re older now, so I don’t think they have the right to play in the Champions League yet,” he additional added.
It can be being reported that golf equipment from the Saudi Pro League are additionally eyeing Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne and Liverpool ahead Mo Salah. Recently, Fulham’s Marco Silva turned down a reported 40 million kilos two-year contract, to take cost of Al Ahli. Also, Saudi golf equipment have a bonus as their switch window closes on September twentieth, 19 days after Premier League’s deadline. So, we may see extra gamers, particularly from England, coming to the Saudi Pro League.
