10 Footballers Who Could Move To Saudi Pro League

 

The football world is witnessing a wave of star-studded migration. First, Cristiano Ronaldo led the pack by breaking the ice and making his move to Saudi Arabia. And now his former buddy and partner-in-crime, Karim Benzema decided to follow suit. It seems the allure of Arabian nights and endless oil reserves is simply too tempting for these footballing superstars to resist. But the lure of desert sands and golden opportunities could entice not two, but 10 more players to potentially make the leap!

1.  Riyad Mahrez

The heat is on as Riyad Mahrez finds himself in the spotlight! The Algerian international has become the tantalizing target of Al-Ahli, who are waving around an offer of €100 million, plus bonuses, for a delightful two-year contract, with the option of extending it for an additional year. Despite his limited playing minutes in the prestigious UEFA Champions League this season, Mahrez is currently tied up with a two-year contract at Manchester City. The burning question on everyone's mind is whether he will choose the Saudi Arabian shawarmas or want to stay put in England's footballing elite.

2.  Sergio Ramos. 

Al Ahli is said to prepare a contract with a salary of as much as $20 million per year.

The former Real Madrid man has seen out his PSG contract with a rather disappointing spell in Paris. But as the ink dries on Ramos' new contract, it's impossible not to let our mischievous imaginations run wild. Could it be that Ramos is secretly plotting to become the undisputed record holder with the most red cards in Saudi Arabia's football history? With an evil smile, one can't help but wonder if the fiery defender is ready to unleash his inner devil on the unsuspecting opponents of the desert realm. Beware, fellow players, for Ramos, might just give you a run for your money, or in this case, a run for the referee's pocketful of red cards!

  3. Wilfried Zaha

The Ivorian winger has become a hot commodity,  not just within the realms of Europe, but also catching the attention of the Saudi football scene. One team that has set its sights on him is Atletico Madrid, but it seems their offer might be outshined by the allure of Al Nassr. Rumor has it that Al Nassr is prepared to whisk  Zaha away with a tempting three-year contract, boasting a salary of $18.6 million per year. As if that weren't enticing enough, the icing on the cake is the chance to share the field with none other than the legendary CR7 himself. It's a golden opportunity for a winger who has spent the majority of his career at Crystal Palace, a mid-table side. Now, Zaha finds himself at a crossroads. On one hand, he could choose to elevate his game by joining Atletico Madrid, experiencing the thrill of UEFA Champions League battles. On the other hand, he could prioritize upgrading his bank account with the financial package presented by Al Nassr.

  4. Hugo Lloris

It seems that Hugo Lloris may soon find himself bidding farewell to his beloved Tottenham Hotspur, opening the doors for him to embark on a new adventure. And sources suggest that the Saudi  Pro League is calling out to him, waving the promise of greener pastures. While the specific club remains a mystery for now, Lloris seems to be giving it some serious thought. What's really got everyone buzzing is the potential salary hike that could come his way.

  5. Pierre Aubameyang.

Not one, but two clubs, Al Ahli and Al Shabab, have set their sights on the striker. It appears that Auba has found himself in the unwanted surplus aisle at The Blues this season, paving the way for an exciting new chapter in his career. As the rumor mill churns, one can't help but imagine the possibilities. Will Auba's journey lead him back to Barcelona, where he once danced his way through defenses with style and finesse? Or the desert sands of Saudi Arabia might be calling his name, promising a fresh start and a chance to reignite his goal-scoring ability.

   6. Roberto Firmino

Rumors swirling around Roberto Firmino's future say that Firmino could be the next big move to the League. After bidding farewell to Liverpool. Firmino, with his dazzling smile and trademark celebrations, strutting his stuff on the sandy pitches of Saudi Arabia. The fans would go bonkers as he weaves his magic, leaving defenders in his wake. It might not be the glamorous European stage we're accustomed to seeing him on, but let's not underestimate the attraction of a fresh challenge and, of course, a handsome paycheck.

7. Gundogan

Another player who could leave his club is Gundogan. But the question is where to? Reports are swirling about potential moves to renowned clubs like Arsenal and Barcelona. But here's a twist that might make you do a  double-take: could Gundogan actually make a surprising switch to the Saudi Pro League for a lucrative payday? You never know! Of course, we also cannot ignore the strong desire of Manchester City to retain Gundogan's services, nor the allure of established giants like Arsenal and Barcelona. However, the final decision ultimately lies with the German maestro himself.

8. Verratti

The Italian international seems to be considering a move to Al-Hilal than other clubs in Europe. It is mainly because none can match his salary demand of 11 million Euro per year, except the Saudi Pro League side.

9.Iago Aspas

Aspas could be aiming for a move and joining the ranks of Benzema and Cr7. Sources spilled the beans that Al Fateh, a  club with deep pockets and big ambitions, has been hard at work preparing a contract that would make Aspas's eyes pop. We're talking about a mind-boggling offer worth a whopping 10 million Euros per year! Now, that's a serious upgrade from his current deal at Celta.

10.Adama Traore

The former Barcelona  academy graduate could be on the move to 

Saudi Arabia! In recent seasons, Traore's form has taken a hit and even his return to Barcelona failed to reignite his spark. But fear not, because a journey to Saudi Arabia might just be the perfect opportunity for him to revive his career and find his groove once again.

The Saudi Pro League has ignited a fiery frenzy. And these stars could end up in the Middle East next season.  As stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema join the fray, the stage is set for more legends.
