Before Cristiano Ronaldo left, we didn't know much about the Saudi League but now we keep regular updates about the Saudi League. Saudi Arabia is successful in their plans.
First, Cristiano Ronaldo was able to bring them into the league with an offer and it was one of the most important steps to introduce their league to the world court. Whenever there is news that cristiano ronaldo will play from now on for a club in saudi league then everyone started searching about this club through various search engines and people started following the games of this club regularly. There is hardly anyone who watches football now who does not know about Cristiano Ronaldo's club in the Saudi League. Saudi Arabia will buy more players from Europe in the future so that people follow their league regularly.
You can repeat this sentence as often as you want, but it doesn't change the fact that the initial buzz, which Ronaldo created for the Saudi Professional League without a doubt, is gone for the most part. Yes there is still more attention drawn to the league than ever before, but my guess is that the Saudi officials were hoping for a sustained effect for the years to come and that hasn't come true. They may have plans in the making for the next couple of years until they are going to be the host for the World Cup, but I think they have realized that spending a billion on transfers a year and then hoping for big shifts in the Saudi Arabian football landscape won't work out.
