The €80M Man City player who turned down Arabia this summer

Offers from Saudi Arabia continue to pour in, and an increasing number of footballers are opting to play in the Middle East. The Saudi Pro League has been extremely active this summer, securing signings of players who are still considered capable of competing at the highest level.

Today's most notable case is Gabri Veiga, a 21-year-old who has decided to join Al-Ahli. Among the names that have arrived in the Gulf region this summer, we see players like Karim Benzema, Kalidou Koulibaly, Fabinho, Henderson, Sadio Mane, Franck Kessie, Bono, Neymar, among others

Given this trend, top European clubs are still receiving offers from Arab football including Manchester City. The departures of Aymeric Laporte and Mahrez have encouraged more teams to consider following these steps.

As a result, Neymar’s Al-Hilal, has made an offer for one of Pep Guardiola's key players.

Who is the player in question?

According to journalist Sam Lee from The Athletic, Al-Hilal has extended an offer to Bernardo Silva, offering him €75 million per season. However, Silva declined the offer. Currently, the Portuguese player still has three years left on his contract with Etihad.
