Saudi Arabia league will soon be as competitive as Bundesliga or Ligue 1 if they continue recruiting players that way. They started with Cristiano Ronaldo and every day you hear about new name coming to play there. Mendy, De Gea, Neves, Koulibaly, Firmino, Kante, Niguez, fofana...are names that joined or will join Saudi Arabia league!
Right now there's no chance that Saudi Pro League would be as competitive as any of the top leagues in Europe. Quite rightly they are alluring players from Europe, but most of them are either old and past their peak, or they aren't just good enough players, mind you that the Saudi Pro league is yet to allure a world class player that is in his prime.
Having said that, remember that what the Saudi's are trying to do right now is somewhat similar to what the Chinese Super league did a couple of years ago, but we all saw how it ended, i wouldn't rule it out to end the same way for the Saudi's.
It will still be different between the Suadi Professional League and other European leagues, however competitive the European league will be, it will outperform it in football.
It is true that the players are already at the peak of their careers, so they will receive offers from the SPL. This is still very reasonable if there are many players who move to this league.
We'll see if the Saudi Professional League will suffer the same fate as the Chinese Super League or will they last a long time and spend a lot of money?
What is interesting is that SPL clubs never stop bringing in European players.
New news Bernardo Silva has accepted an offer from Al Hilal with a salary that will receive him €930,000/week.
Tempting isn't it?
