The European stars' migration to Saudi Arabia is undoubtedly a game-changer for their football culture. Its captivating to see clubs like Al Ittihad signing titans like Benzema.
But lets not lose sight of the endgame. While these transfers are attention magnets, sustained success needs grassroots development. We dont want a fleeting moment of fame, do we? I trust they're not just creating a splash in the transfer market but equally fostering home-grown talents.
. The sudden behavior of Saudi football shocked the world. No one would ever dare to offer Ronaldo 200 million euro per season that Saudi clubs have shown. Also, Benzema is getting 120 million euro, the best offer in the history of the world. If the Saudis truly want to create new milestones in football, they must train their own players with these players and coaches. However, even if many people bring up the issue of China's impenetrability, I think it will not happen with Saudi.
I have tried to explain it in a few posts ago, you can even check it on another page. this effort is one of the initial steps of the privatization project of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia which aims to develop Saudi Arabian football. this project, has been planned and will involve more parties and bring in the world's top players. that's why Europe's top players starting from Ronaldo and other players are still believed to be brought to this competition. besides that, their target is to host the 2030 world cup. that way, Saudi Arabia can further open its doors not only to the west but to all corners of the world. just look, now all the eyes of the world are on Saudi Arabia, especially in the development of its football.
And you, can look for other references, especially behind the ownership of top Saudi clubs that bring in star players. for the china super league, i have also covered this in several posts. the point is, the steps taken by the Saudi kingdom for the long term and other sectors. On the other hand, the top clubs that bring in Europe's top players, seem to still be managed by the non-profit organizations of each club even though they only own 25%. So, you can be sure that this competition will continue as normal.
