Yes, recently, sports newspapers all have information about Saudi Professional League. They're creating a craze for super blockbuster deals, First Ronaldo, then they asked Messi but no success. And now comes the young striker Kylian Mbappe with the most expensive contract of all time, surpassing the amount that PSG ever paid for Neymar. Assuming Mbappe agrees to this contract, this is also a very successful tournament for Saudi Arabia. They are borrowing good players to boost their league. Of course, the players come here for the money. There will be no significant titles in this arena.
If everything could be solved with money, then the Saudi Professional League would be flooded with star players .... Luckily that didn't actually happen
. I think it is very unlikely that Mbappe will go to the Saudi Professional League because I'm sure that Mbappe still has big ambitions for his football career. There are rumors that Mbappe has struck a deal with Real Madrid and will move there once he becomes a free agent.
Well, most problems can be solved with money. Muhammad Bin Salman was able to create a golf league in a year and a year later unite it with the world league and many top golfers now get about the same as Ronaldo.
So it can work out with soccer too. Already loosened the limit because of famous foreigners, now it seems you can have 8 players in the starting lineup not from saudi arabia.
In principle, they love soccer, first the sheikhs bought PSG and Manchester City, then Qatar hosted the World Cup, and now Saudi Arabia is gathering a large number of stars in its league.
Time zones are close to Europe, so maybe even sell the rights to broadcast to Europe, also the symbolism with the new players will make money, and the new players helped to popularize soccer in Saudi Arabia.
As for Mbappe, it's clear that he doesn't really want to go to Real, but rather he's just padding his price and if the Saudis offer 200 million or more, he'll probably move to the Saudi league.
