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!

Lol no way that they ever become as competitive as Bundesliga or Ligue 1. Sure, they managed to attract some players but those players are mostly past their prime and just came for one last big contract but it would take much more to come even remotely close to Europe level of football.

Imho, I see it as just another fad that will eventually pass, like it happened years ago with China.

Well, honestly in Bundesliga and Ligue 1, apart from Bayern Munich, Dortmund mainly and PSG +/- Lens and Marseille, the other teams are quite normal although their big names and the name of the players they have. If we incorporate the teams that Saudis are trying to build by recruiting many European players then they will be as competitive as Marseille and Lens, or Leipzig and Leverkusen for exemple. The remaining Saudi teams if they pick similar players then we will have something similar to Bundesliga and Ligue 1. Dunno if you understood what I meant.
