If so many players have come to the Saudi Arabian league, the biggest reason for this is Cristiano Ronaldo.
For real? That's what you think? So money has nothing to do with that? There are players who were earning 10-15 mln per year and they were at the end of their carrier, so for sure they would have to take a pay cut in order to keep staying at the team, then come the Saudi teams offering them 50, 100, 200 mln per year, and they accept just because Ronaldo plays for another Saudi team? Come on man, you can't be this naive, it's football, it's all about money. Ronaldo himself moved to Saudi Arabia just because of the money. He would have done the same if a Chinese, Mexican, or Moroccan team would have offered him that salary.
because we see quite a lot of European players following CR7's footsteps moving to the Arab League, it's natural for some to say the reason they went to the Arab League was because CR7 was there, but of course the biggest reason is his fantastic salary, which they can't get when they play in European leagues. Even ordinary European players when playing in the Arab League they have a very fantastic salary.
and the same thing happened to the Argentine legend Carlos Tevez, where when he was at the peak of his career he actually moved to China because he was tempted by the offer of a big salary.
