Ronaldo, Mané, Neymar, Benzema, Henderson, Firmino – the list of football stars who have signed in Saudi Arabia is long – and it’s getting longer.
In winter, or at the latest next summer, more well-known stars are to be lured to the desert state. Money doesn’t seem to play a role. Even clubs in the midfield of the Saudi Professional League seem to have almost inexhaustible financial resources.
Now the Saudi clubs are also targeting a top Spanish talent from FC Barcelona. As the Spanish newspaper “Sport” reports, youngster Ansu Fati (20, contract until 2027) is at the top of several clubs’ wish lists. However, the report does not explain in more detail which clubs these should be.

The paper reports on several conversations that club representatives are said to have had with those close to the Spanish international. Accordingly, parts of his advisory staff are open to moving to Saudi Arabia. But Fati does not currently see this as a serious option for the coming transfer summer.
Background: The offensive talent has recently had a difficult time in coach Xavi Hernandez’s team. In the past season he was often only granted the role of Joker. At least he still scored seven league goals.
His situation did not change at the start of the new season. Therefore, the left winger left his home club and moved to England in the Premier League. Brighton & Hove Albion signed Fati on a season-long loan.

His plan: to gain match practice in England and to recommend himself for higher positions at Barça with good performances. But that hasn’t worked so far. The Spaniard has only managed one goal in four games. He didn’t play any of the games for 90 minutes. He is also currently only a substitute for the sixth-place team in the Premier League. Did he imagine it like that?
