After Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal, and Al-Ettifaq, now it's Al-Shabab's turn, which also doesn't want to be outdone, to bring in European players and they are getting closer to an agreement with Yannick Carassco from Atletico Madrid. The transfer fee is around 15 million euros and he will be contracted for 3 years. Yannick Carasco is one of the good European players and we will remember the last few seasons for his individual qualities. Now he is 29 years old and in fact he is still quite reliable with Atletico, but now it remains only for Atletico to make a transfer because Al-Shabab has reached a personal agreement with the player.

Yannick Carrasco is a player who is no longer performing well at Atletico Madrid and it seems that even if he not have that much talent, Al-Shabab seems to be starting to bring in European player at cheaper prices first, if he already has a big influence on his club, there will definitely be big transfers in the next season. from this club.
A long time ago in China they tried to do something like this, and the truth is they didn't know how to do it, they had more or less what the project was going to be like, and they told very good players, who are actually of a high level, but they couldn't control The transfer market was fine, I don't know what happened but suddenly all that fell apart, so I think it was due to a lack of budget, they couldn't buy more players because they were really spending a fortune and they couldn't be seen Chinese players will assimilate all these new techniques, in the case of Saudi football there are already many things that have been advanced, they have good players, their league before CR7 arrived was already something good, with the arrival of CR7 which It was a complete revolution in football where many from European football were grateful that he had left, one of them was Ten Hag, because he had already left it, and where many clubs right now like Totteenham, Bayern Munich and Chelsea closed their doors on him. , where they wish that a CR7 was there with them to help them, because Saudi football can be said that if it has grown enough, not because CR7 is there and has a super salary that has already ensured his life and that of his entire family, but because of many other players.
The most curious thing is that the players who were very badly treated by their clubs, due to their age, or because they believed that they were not going to perform better, went to Saudi football, which for many was crazy, but those "old "As they were called in Europe, there are many clubs that want to have them at the moment, since some clubs in Europe have had a hard time getting players of their stature , I overheard a sports commentator who said that thank God Neymar Jr left, that they will not see that player in Europe anymore, but what he does not know is that he can meet all of Europe in a World Cup again, where he is more mature, and has a different way of seeing fútbol and his talent is not They have many, this is what you can't imagine.
