He was worth $40 million and got called the next Hazard, now he would arrive to Saudi Arabia

The transfer market is nearing its end, and teams are still on the lookout for new reinforcements. However, the situation is different in Saudi Arabian soccer. While the transfer window in Europe closes on September 1st, the transfer period in Saudi Arabia extends until September 20th.

As a result, teams still have time to make signings and continue adding players to their squads in the controversial Saudi Pro League. So far, players who have opted to play in the Middle East are those who still possess the footballing quality to compete at the highest level.

The enticing financial offers have tempted more than a few players, including names like Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Sadio Mané, Karim Benzema, Fabinho, and Henderson, among others. The case of 21 year old Gabri Veiga potentially making a move to Saudi Arabia has also emerged.

In recent hours, there have been reports that a player from one of Europe's top teams is on the verge of leaving, with his destination being the Arabian Peninsula.

Who is this player?

The player in question is Belgian Yannick Carrasco, who currently plays for Atlético Madrid. According to reports from Fabrizio Romano, both the club and the player have reportedly accepted an offer from Al Shabab for €15 million ($16 million). It's worth noting that Carrasco was one of the standout players in Europe around 2017. However, despite his quality, he never quite established himself as a world-class footballer.
