He added, “What we want is competition. There are no problems with the league, so all the stars may come to Arabia. It will be one of the most important in the world, either in two or three years. I’m sure many others will follow, but Karim has already been there.”

Additionally, many big-name players like Jordi Alba, N’Golo Kante, and Sergio Ramos are reported to be joining the Saudi Pro League.
