I think it is a strategy, to shift the dominance of the world soccer league, and as a trigger for football interest in Arabic land. So if Neymar really entered the Arab League and partnering with Ronaldo, I thought it would make Arabic soccer more crowded.
after all, this is a business run by rich people in Arab League clubs. even the Arab Club could be the focus of the media nowadays. however, the media will be looking for a big story that will make their ratings go up.
I think the initial strategy applied to Ronaldo worked. and will now lead to more European players who will play in the Arab League. even though those who moved were part of the old age cast. but as a business, it will still be profitable.
