De Bruyne's report regarding rumors of being linked with four Saudi Pro League clubs, such as Al Nassr, Al Hilal. A Ittihad and Al-Ahli, are quartets owned and run by public investment funds. but even though the SPL has succeeded in luring the likes of Neymar, Bemzema and Sadio Mane to the country, their business is far from over. Previously, Moh Salah was offered £150 million by Al Ittihad last summer. A new, potentially improved offer is set to test the Red once again at the end of the season, as reported by TeamTalk.

Now referring to several other newspapers, Moh Salah is not the only one targeted by the Saudis. First, the Times lists De Buyne from City and Casemiro from Man United. as the star player that Saudi is targeting. Regarding De Buyne, Football Transfers reports that the Belgian midfielder's decision has been made and will not play. The report claims that De Buyne still has a lot to give to the best club team in the world in Manchester City and hopes to add to the trophies they have so often won. this season, City is determined to defend its Champions League title for both. Although it is reported that City could receive offers of more than £100 million for their midfield talisman, what is clear is that the player does not want to leave the Treble winner. well, it seems like it has been made clear that De Buyne will stay with City and not accept an offer from the Saudi Pro League club. at least, for now. perhaps, once City have a suitable player to replace him, De Buyne could consider leaving the Premier League.

The SPL is a growing league with teams doing very well at what they do. We can mention a few of the teams as not just Al Nassr being the only ones doing well. The various team performances are beneficial to the leagues growth and expansion, adding to the promptness to be a part of the UEFA race. It's a good push to the best that a team can portray. Al Nassr are still standing really out in the league and then the likes of Al Hilal and the other teams. The combination of local and foreign players in the league promoted unity and bond with nations too, even increases fans favouritism.

It's just beautiful to watch how football in the Asian side has become so beautiful, shifting down the attention of other nations to see the wonders that the SPL are doing. The league is still running and race for the trophy is on too. The final table standing is awaited. Based on the agenda of the Saudi Pro League striving to create visibility and awareness in the European space with the major goal of ensuring an expanded sports market, the clubs find themselves in a situation where there's less utilization of local players. These players have no doubt some certain level of effects to a club but the aims of these clubs won't allow for the players to be used.

It'll only make sense that a policy be put in place for the use of local players in every team but I don't think that'll be enough to take them to where they visioned the league to get to. SPL wants to be broadcasted and be seen worldwide and this makes for the rapid purchase and push for European stars who'd cause focus to gradually be shifted to their league. If the local players are entertained, then there'd definitely be no room for this hot caked stars in Europe and in the long run, it won't give them the focus they want to get. All things in the SPL currently occurs as a planned activity, and they are all working towards a set goal. It's only a gradual process before the impacts are seen.
