“Many players are now considering leaving Saudi Arabia,” Spain’s Sport said on Wednesday (Korea time). Currently, there are many famous players in the Saudi professional league. Saudi clubs have recruited a large number of players from Europe through deep capital. Starting with Cristiano Ronaldo’s transfer to Al Nasr FC in December 2022, many players are choosing to go to Saudi Arabia in their later years or in their prime.
Al Nasr includes goalkeeper David Ospina, followed by Marcel Brozovic, Alex Telles and Emerick Laport. Sadio Mane, who played for Liverpool F.C., also plays for al Nasr.
Karim Benzema, who played for Real Madrid along with Ronaldo, has opted to transfer to Al Etihad. Chelsea FC legend N’Golo Kante and Liverpool native Fabinho are also playing for Al Etihad along with Benzema.
Riyad Mahrez, who won the treble (English Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League) last season with Manchester City, is also a member of Al Ahli. There are also Edouard Mendy, Roberto Firmino, and Alan Saint-Maximin.
Al Hilal has recruited Juven Neves and Kalidou Koulibaly. Lazio Sergei Milinkovic-Savic and Neymar as Paris Saint-Germain also wore Al Hilal uniforms. Yashin Bunu, the leading player in Morocco’s semifinal, and Serbian bomber Alexander Mitrovic also chose Al Hilal.
Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson and Jorginho Wijnaldum moved to Al Etipark. Odion Ighalo (Al-Wahda) and Belgian Yannick Carrasco (Al-Shabab) also play in the Saudi professional league.
However, many players have failed to adjust to Saudi Arabia. Sport said many players are already considering leaving the country because of the climate, culture, small crowds in stadiums and women’s rights to their wives.
In fact, Henderson, who plays for Al Etipark, has sought to return to the English Premier League. The British Daily Mail reported that Al Etipark’s captain Jordan Henderson is eager to return to the EPL. 실시간 바카라사이트
“Henderson did not make it to the Saudi Arabian League. Henderson is telling his teammates at RT Park about the possibility of returning to England. Currently, the Saudi Arabian League is on a break due to the Asian Cup,” he added.
Many of his players have been transferred by Saudi clubs’ capital. Henderson is paid 700,000 pounds per week at RT Park. Ronaldo is paid 3.6 million pounds per week.
However, it seems that the players have failed to adapt due to culture and climate change. If influential players move, it is not impossible for other players to move. Sport said that the actual migration of players could take place next summer.
