The Saudi Pro League is on a roll. Their transfer chief wants all the top players, and there's more spending to come this season.
Michael Emenalo, the ex-Chelsea director, made a huge splash in Europe. He brought stars like Benzema, Ronaldo, and Mahrez to the Middle East with jaw-dropping paychecks.
Premier League chief Richard Masters says the Saudi league won't overshadow the English one, but they're keeping watch. Emenalo believes the Saudi Pro League will become a superpower in a few years.
Quoted by the Daily Mail, Emenalo said: "I would love to have Mbappe here,' he said. 'I would love to have Harry Kane here. The league would like to have all the top players. In a couple of years, in a few short years, this will become a league for exceptional players only. It will become a league only for those who at the top of their game.'
"And yes, we have resources and we're going to use those resources to make sure the only players that are here are the ones that are at the top of their game."
The transfer chief added: "There's always more business to be done. We're always open for some surprises, you know, maybe something big happens. But now the clubs are working frantically to improve their squads and they will continue to do that until the end of the transfer window."
