There is a new speculation out like UEFA might think of accepting Saudi teams into the Champions League as well as of the 2024/25 season.
If this really happens this can change many things in this sport. Many more players can start to think that it is worth joining those teams more than before. Just think about that, Saudi teams will also be able to play in the most prestigious tournament in Europe. Players can still compete here while making tons of money. This will probably make sense for more players.
Money can really change many things in football. But for now this is a speculation as I said.
I would be very happy if that were true (and probably Ronaldo would be very happy too as he was able to continue to improve his perpetual record), but it seems to me that UEFA will never go for it. If players from Europe who left for Saudi Arabia retain the opportunity to play in the Champions League, then the flow there will only increase and the situation in Europe will worsen even more.
