@zuzie their intent is very clear that they want to make SPL even bigger then the Premier League and the La Liga hence I believe that they’ll keep acquiring young and old stars from these two leagues primarily. Furthermore Messi isn’t coming but I won’t be surprised if several young star’s ditch their clubs and move to SPL because they can always return back in a year or two but they won’t get this kind of money elsewhere.

No, no league can compete with the leagues in Europe so if the goal is to compete clearly it is wrong they want to attract attention with a mission
SPL isn't the first to do this previously there were leagues in China and America doing the same thing and we know what happened is only temporary
In addition, young players who leave the European leagues will no longer get a place there we already have many examples.
While the appeal of non-European leagues like the Saudi Professional League is understandable, given the likes of Ronaldo still grace their fields, their allure may prove fleeting. As we've seen with the Chinese and American leagues, such phenomena are often transient, and once star players depart, the leagues might lose their charm. The competitiveness and dynamism of European leagues remain unrivaled and continue to attract top talent. Indeed, players leaving European leagues for less competitive ones often find it challenging to return, given the vast talent pool vying for limited spots. Thus, the growth of other leagues should not be overestimated, and their sustainability and long-term success remain to be seen
