The Saudi Pro League is poised to make a significant impact on the football transfer scene, with a reported £2 billion budget allocated for attracting Premier League talent. Among their top priorities are high-profile players like Kevin De Bruyne from Manchester City, Mohamed Salah from Liverpool, and Son Heung-min from Tottenham.
These Premier League stars have recently surfaced in transfer speculations linking them to potential moves to the Middle East. Notably, Salah’s potential departure was considered last summer, but Liverpool declined to entertain any negotiations. Meanwhile, De Bruyne emerged as a possible target earlier this season.
Sources indicate that the Saudi Arabian league is optimistic about securing the services of 31-year-old Mohamed Salah, although finalizing the deal during the upcoming summer transfer window is not guaranteed. The negotiation for Kevin De Bruyne is expected to be equally challenging. De Bruyne recently returned to the Manchester City squad after an extended period of absence. Despite having contracts that run until 2025 for both Salah and De Bruyne, the clubs are likely to demand substantial fees for any potential transfers.
Son Heung-min, the dynamic South Korean forward from Tottenham, was previously questioned about a potential move to Saudi Arabia last year. However, he downplayed the speculation at that time.
As the transfer market unfolds, the Saudi Pro League’s ambitious pursuit of established Premier League talents adds an intriguing dimension to the football landscape.
