The petrodollars have already made inroads in continental Europe and now they want to wedge themselves also in the land of Albion.

Saudi Arabia doesn’t stop: “We want more top players from Europe”

What happened before Covid 19 in China is taking place, with the Super League companies that have “plundered” the top European clubs, looking for champions capable of attracting other jewels and making the league increasingly important and attractive to level of brand, marketing and appeal.
