Market, Saudi Arabia ready to plunder La Liga and Premier League
The Saudi Pro League is serious. The‘Saudi Arabia promises to be a major player next summer. This time, rather than Serie A stars, the targets are outfielders currently playing in La Liga and the Premier League. In particular, there are three names that the Saudi Pro League dreams of: Vinicius Junior, Mohamed Salah and Casemiro.

Many contracts of players currently starring in the Saudi Pro League are expiring and will not be renewed, leaving room for new recruits to raise the level of the competition. Because, although the first phase of a long-term project has been a success, it is clear that there is still ample room for growth. New stars are needed, like the three put in the crosshairs. Players who can attract more and more interest in the top Arab tournament.
The names being talked about have been identified practically since last season, when the first unsuccessful attempts were made to wrest them from their respective clubs. However, now the situation is different. Vinicius Junior is having a very difficult time at Real Madrid and may want to make a change of scenery. The same goes for the Liverpool star and the Manchester United midfielder (the Brazilian is on contract expiration and will not renew with the Red Devils).
Not only established stars. the Saudi Pro League is also working on youth. The average age of the various teams has been lowered from 30 in the first year to 24 this year. The average age is expected to drop further by the end of its own summer, after the 2026 World Cup. This is another big bet of the Saudi Pro League.
.
Most years later, Cristiano Ronaldo’s intuition to move to Saudi Arabia no longer seems so crazy. The Portuguese paved the way and now more and more stars are joining him in the golden Saudi pro league. Next summer, we expect many shots from the Arabs.
