Saudi Arabia is putting the wad of cash on the table in all sports. In recent months it has been seen how in the world of football They have been able to attract the attention of the big stars to retire to Asia, But they have also managed to do it with players with great projection or who still had a lot to prove at the highest level on the old continent.

At that moment the Saudi Arabian league entered another dimension and in the summer its big moment arrived. Veteran stars like Karim Benzema left their teams to sign million-dollar contracts and finish their careers in a less demanding and less competitive football than what they were used to living in Europe. Other legends of today, such as Luka Modric, chose to continue on the old continent and not undertake that exotic adventure. Leo Messi, for his part, chose the United States.

The list of footballers who decided to go to Saudi Arabia is extensive. N’Golo Kanté, Roberto Firmino, Fabinho, Ryad Mahrez and Marcelo Brozovic are part of that outstanding expedition that decided to accept the million-dollar offers. But there are also names like Neymar, one of the best players on the planet who still had a lot of football ahead of him. In the case of LaLiga, Bono or Gabri Veiga, with a lot to say in this sport, also succumbed to the green color of Asian banknotes.

Yes indeed, For now they are only rumors and the Barrika golfer has always expressed his loyalty to the PGA and denied the gossip that has linked him to Saudi Arabia. Despite this, the information coming out of Asia is quite strong and in Europe it is also beginning to be accepted as true, although other news reports ensure that those around him remain silent, which could lead one to think that he would be willing to accept the large offer in which would have a signing bonus greater than Cristiano Ronaldo’s salary.
