Saudi Professional League is moving in the right direction. During the last 2-3 months they have signed a number of quality players from various European leagues. There were a few let downs, like Messi moving to Inter Miami after rejecting the offer from Al Hilal, but in general they are moving in the right direction. And I can see that a lot of people are unhappy. Not just the management of the European clubs, but also many of the fans. I was going through the Daily Mail article regarding the move by Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. The comments section was full of hate filled posts by English football fans.
Even though in the end the Saudi league failed to bring in Lionel Messi, that did not dampen the intention of other European players to come to this league. Of course all European players are very tempted to get a lot of money the easy way and that is an opportunity they rarely encounter, that's why many are starting to like the Saudi league.
It is only natural that there are hateful comments about the Saudi league, especially coming from fans of Europe's top leagues, and the parties concerned are certainly very understanding of what they are doing. I think the fact that the saudi league is starting to gain popularity is indisputable from now on because this league will attract the interest of the public in a sizeable amount.
What the Saudi professional league teams are doing is something we cannot take lightly, what they are doing to get the world's attention is a very good strategy by bringing in top European league players, the failure to bring Messi by Al- hilla is not a problem, and also can't stop the saudi professional league becoming more and more popular nowadays.
I think this hatred is a natural thing because one by one the popular players who are in the media spotlight, prefer to enter the Saudi league, because they get decent payments for their profession, and after all, on average, every player definitely needs money for his welfare. , so indeed it is a good opportunity for those who get offers. And in fact it has also shifted the focus of the football media, the Saudi professional league has become very attractive, and also has a fairly large circulation of money.
And maybe in the future the Saudi league will get more hatred from the European league supporters if its popularity is wider, and of course players and sponsors will pay more attention to this league in the future.
