    The Saudi league will never be a top league I think. No offense to anyone but playing for a European club and competing in the champions league will surely remain the ultimate goal for the foreseeable future.

    The money is what draws players for the time being. Saudi Arabia has lots of money now but that country is doomed and foreigners are not gonna be happy to live there, especially players’ partners. When the extreme amount of spending stops then top players will have no reason to go there.

    Cause honestly, why would any top player move there if not for insane amount of money? It’s not a nice place to live (especially compared to London, Barcelona, Milan, Munich, etc) and without the champions league and the lack of history of the local league… I feel like they’re never going to consistently be able to get top players for the next ten years.
