Saudi Arabian soccer is aiming high and its top managers and sheikhs do not want to let up in the current season. As a result, top players from Europe, such as the Premier League, are being tempted with massive salary offers to migrate to the Saudi Pro League next season. As a result, one sheikh is not playing around and is issuing a major threat.

 

Al-Medlej responded to critics accusing Saudi Arabia of using the same method once employed by Chinese soccer, a league that failed in its attempt to bring in big names for multi-million dollar salaries, with only players on their last legs going to the Asian continent to collect their paychecks.

It is no secret that many players are mulling over their offers for the following season, due to the fact that these are contracts that even in their best moment in Europe they are not able to aspire to. That's why we don't sign players who are finished. Al Hilal will sign Ruben Neves, who is 26 years old and wanted by Barcelona.

 

What did Al Medlej say about signing more elite players?

Al-Medlej responded to critics accusing Saudi Arabia of using the same method once employed by Chinese soccer, a league that failed to bring in big names for multimillion-dollar salaries, with only players on their last legs going to the Asian continent to collect their paychecks. We are waiting for Bernardo Silva to arrive from Manchester City, and we should also start working on the signing of Mohamed Salah," he concluded in his statements to the Koura newspaper.
