I think it more so has to do with the fact that most Muslim players join the league because it fits their ideal lifestyle. Most non-Muslims like Messi for example would rather go to more Western country that fits their lifestyle. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose Lukaku declined because there is no way it would be ok for Meg to twerk in Saudi Arabia. Fernando, Azul and NikkiCFC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,947 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 As much as I love them bailing us out. It is kind of scary how The Saudis are buying up all the clubs and players... slowly monopolising the sport. Cosmin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,959 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Wonder how much all these Saudi deals are going to change our incoming transfer plans. There’s no way the club expected to get nice fees for all this “junk” we needed to get rid of. We probably thought we’d have to loan players like Koulibaly and Mendy due to their wages. So with the unexpected influx of cash I wonder if they’ll attack more ambitious targets that we perhaps couldn’t have before?

Not really, they are buying mostly has beens, the Chinese tried it and failed, players want to play in the CL EL etc etc Saudi offers non of that, players will just realise it's an end of career choice.

I’d be shocked if they don’t try to muscle in on some of our sports leagues here in America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmin 2,484 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I wouldn't be surprised if players like Koulibaly, Mendy or Ziyech will be back in Europe one year from now. For now, we know that Koulibaly is going to get us about 22-23m (pounds). I wonder how much they will pay for the others, considering their contract situation. I do not expect us to get more than 10m for Mendy and 7-8m for Ziyech. I hope we get another 3m for Auba, so that would be a total of 45m for all of them, more or less. It's not much, but I suppose the real W is cleaning the wage bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was awesome for a season here then went completely off the boil and now gone without much fanfare. From undisputed #1 for the Champions of Europe to essentially retiring to the Saudi league in the span of 2 years. Vegetable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they manage assets to the value of something around this figure, which I assume their share of Chelsea would be included within. I assume the circa $16bn is total personal wealth of those mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
