Like Cristiano Ronaldo, the Premier League star who is close to playing in the Saudi Arabian League

Soccer in Saudi Arabia is taking a 180º turn and its economic power is seducing European stars. It happened at the time with Cristiano Ronaldo and has been repeated recently with Karim Benzema, but that's not all.

In the Saudi League they want to count on figures like Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, Sergio Ramos, Luka Modric or even Leo Messi. In fact, the Argentine had on the table a dizzying proposal from Al Hilal, which paid him 500 million euros per year.

In the end, the Rosarino star opted for the MLS and went to Inter Miami. Precisely, Al Hilal wants to strike a blow in the market before the incorporations of its rivals. According to Matteo Moretto, journalist of 'Relevo', the team wants Kalidou Koulibaly. Al Hilal were on the trail of Leo Messi and will be looking to put together a competent team with signings to match. One of them could be Kalidou Koulibaly, who joined Chelsea just a year ago.

Will Koulibaly play for Chelsea FC?

The Senegalese center-back arrived just 1 year ago at Chelsea from Napoli, but in this 1st season in the Premier League he has failed to achieve the objectives by staying out of the Champions League places. We will have to wait if the money seduces the African. According to Transfermarkt, his price would cost around 38 million euros.
