Saudi had unlimited money generated from selling its oil. Some top clubs in saudi pro legue are still interesting to hire some expensive players. It was not surprising me to see al hilal keeps recruit the new talent for its club.
Bounou will be the main choice by al hilal. The club is not yet stopping in approach the european player as well. That will be disrupting the european club as it's coming to the end of transfer window.
Saudi club keep going so crazily in the transfer season. FYI saudi transfer season will be gonna stop at the middle of september. There will be a lot of time to buy as many players as possible.
The main reason so many european coaches were seeing saudi as a threat for the club. It's caused by saudi club can disrupt their team when the transfer window for EU already closed.
Let's wait how many new players will keep come to the saudi pro league.
It's not like they have unlimited amounts of money. They know that the oil revenue is not very reliable. They have cut crude oil production by more than a million barrels per day and now they are the third largest producer in terms of output (behind Russia and the United States). They want to diversify their economy and the ruler (Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud) have been taking steps on this direction for the past many years. One of his initiatives is to make Saudi Arabia a global sporting hub. Investments in Saudi football clubs are a part of that move.
