However, in order to do so, it is important to keep its most important players. Now, they inform the club of the decision of one of the players to remain in the team or leave for Saudi Arabia.

Some like Luka Modric, Toni Kroos or Robert Lewandowski have turned a deaf ear to such tempting proposals, although there are others who could cross the pond in search of one last new challenge in their sporting career. The Arabian nation has set its sights on England, specifically the Premier League, where it is looking to recruit two other world-class players such as Riyad Mahrez.

It is worth remembering that the player is still under contract with Manchester City for a couple more seasons.
