But I'm not so sure Messi would take the risk by playing in the Arab league. His presence at PSG also does not show anything more. In contrast to when he played at Barcelona which was served entirely by other players.
Yes, of course if Messi moves to the Arab league, the eyes of the audience will be on the Arab league.
I think the Arab league needs to bring in more European league players. This will make the Arab league style of play even more interesting.
What risk does Messi take if he plays in the Arab League? I see no risks to play in Saudi Pro League. Messi even can get a bigger salary and he can give a big contribution to Saudi Pro League. In the future, people will always remember that Messi ever contributes to making Arab league bigger. His name will be in Saudi Pro League history forever.
Sure, not only Messi, Arab League must bring more famous players from top European leagues. More famous players come, people will be more excited to watch Saudi Pro League matches.
More popular players into the league will make the league more popular. This could increase the standard of play and make better players from the Asian countries. However it takes much more time for Saudi Arabia Pro League to meet the standards as the leagues played on the Western nations. With the involvement of Ronaldo the league have gained attention among the world football enthusiasts and the same will increase when more players be the part of the league.
