Club boss Fernando Carro from the Bundesliga soccer club Bayer Leverkusen believes that clubs from Saudi Arabia are only rumors of participation in the European Champions League.
“I can’t imagine UEFA offering them a place. And since I’m represented in one or the other body, I would know, »said the Spaniard, who sits on the board of the European Club Association ECA, of the German Press Agency: «If it should come up at some point, I will I’m 100 percent against it. But right now I can’t even imagine that it’s even going to be on the table.”
For him, the Saudi league is not attractive after upgrading through numerous multi-million transfers of stars like Cristiano Ronaldo or Neymar. “I wouldn’t go there as a player. And neither as a functionary. For all the money in the world,” said Carro, who is likely to be re-elected to the ECA board in Berlin at the beginning of September: If players go, he doesn’t condemn it. “I can only speak for myself,” he said: “I wouldn’t do it, I don’t think it’s good and I don’t understand it. But each individual can decide as he wants.”
