The exodus to Saudi Arabia seems to have become a bottomless pit. From acquiring the services of highly regarded players including Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Neymar, to revered coaches like Steven Gerrard, the appeal of the Roshn Saudi League continues to grow. But it appears the influx goes beyond that, as the latest addition to the roster could be a veteran athletic director. This surprising development comes after AS Roma announced the departure of its sporting director and general manager, Tiago Pintoon their website.

However, it seems that Pinto will not need to go to the Job Center since, according to Italian journalist Marco Conterio, the former left-back’s future lies in the Middle East. Al Nassr has reportedly expressed interest and may develop a proposal in the coming weeks.
Notably, Pinto served the Giallorossi for three years, having joined the office in 2021. Under his tenure, Roma won the UEFA Conference League in 2022 and qualified for the UEFA Europa League final in 2023. However, the Italian giants chose not to renew his contract and mutually parted ways. Club President and Vice President Dan and Ryan Friedkin revealed that the search process for a replacement is ongoing and a formal announcement is expected in the coming weeks.
Likewise, Tiago Pinto will officially empty his office on February 3, after the conclusion of the winter transfer window. Maybe then we can see him coming to Riyadh. In the meantime, Luis Castro’s team can negotiate conditions with its potential sports director. However, for now, the Saudi club is struggling with another transfer situation, which is preventing them from recruiting players quickly.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Co will likely suffer a delay with each winter signing
The Saudi Pro League has revealed a new set of rules and regulations for the winter transfer window. When signing players, teams must follow a rigorous three-step process. All SPL teams must first approach the league to begin the process of assessing the financial feasibility of the transfer. After authorization, clubs and players can begin to negotiate.

Additionally, teams would be required to report any developments to the association during this process. Before the parties sign the contract, the terms of the agreement must be presented to the league during the second phase. Sending all signed documents to league headquarters is the final step. Indeed, it is a fairly long procedure, which weighs on the shoulders of SPL clubs. What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments below.
