Nine players move to Spain as part of Saudi-LaLiga partnership

Saudis eyed Iran with envy over the years when they saw how many of our talents moved to top clubs overseas, and they couldn't do it, so now they BUY themselves into top club! So instead of clubs PAYING the players the Saudi Govt PAYS the clubs to hire the players!!!! This is ridiculous!! We all know they will at best be bench warmers! not sure how this will benefit the Saudi league?!!

So sending local player to an european league is bullshit for you?
Thanks god we have players like Taremi and PAG who prefer to go to Qatar, instead of making bullshit.

Our players have the potential to shine in the top 5 European leagues, but it’s not so easy for Iranians to get to Europe atm (bias against Iranians, no actual knowledge about Iranian football etc. ) and the Saudi camels can buy their way to top Spanish sides that easy. It’s just not fair 😴

I just lost a lot of respect for La Liga and those clubs who did this. Not that they care but still.

tbh this isn't the first. You had the likes of Barca getting bankrolled by Qatar for years before PSG and players like Xavi and Pep who are still on that bankroll and have and still shown support for the the Qatar world cup. Man City is pretty much run by the spanish these days.

In the UK city's arab money is looked down upon and so is government deals with saudi due to the obvious ethical reasons but like I mentioned the Spanish have no problem with that. I mean ffs they are even moving on to that I.R money these days (advertisement and players coming in for "charity matches")

copying Japan, they tried that strategy sending players to Brazil for years but it failed, and they didn't start have serious results before focusing on own league, i think maybe this can help that saudi players have better training but i don't think they can make it to be in first 11 except if paiment is for thata, for few matches until may?!!! they will forget their own football and turn be like the "raven who wanted walk like the stork"
