the essentials in brief
Kalidou Koulibaly and Ruben Neves sign with Al-Hilal. The two Premier League stars are new to Saudi Arabia. Their future employer is paying a lot for the away games.
Saudi Arabia launches attack on the football world. The government recently took over four clubs in the country’s top division. Top stars from all over the world are attracted with money from the sovereign wealth fund.
With luxury jet to away games
Cristiano Ronaldo has been at Al-Nassr since January. Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kanté, among others, have now moved to the desert state. The stars are offered huge sums for it. And pure luxury.
An example? Al-Hilal’s pros travel to their matches in their own plane. Cost point: the equivalent of around 200 million francs.

Striker Odion Ighalo shows the gem in a video that he uploads to his Instagram channel. In his recordings, the attacker shows the lounge area and the cockpit, for example.
According to reports, the machine originally had room for around 400 passengers. In the meantime, most of the seats have been replaced by luxury items, it is said.
Signed two Premier League stars
However, Ighalo will no longer be taking a seat on this plane in the future. His contract expires and will not be renewed. With Kalidou Koulibaly (Chelsea) and Ruben Neves (Wolverhampton), two Premier League stars recently signed with Al-Hilal. The club shelled out around CHF 80 million for the two of them.

With Koulibaly and Neves, the attack on the championship title should start next season. Al-Hilal ended the past season only in third place.
