Footballers have been warned about following Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in making transfers to Saudi Arabia, with reports of unpaid wages and lack of union protection.
FIFA have outlined the reports in its Dispute Resolution Chamber, with contract breaches leading to players taking action in over 50 cases within the past 12 months. This has resulted in FIFPRO, the union which represents over 65,000 footballers around the world, warning players against making moves to the Gulf State.
Many players are linked with moves to the Saudi Pro League this summer, with N'Golo Kante and Wilfried Zaha the latest who are reported to being close to a transfer as both players' Premier League contracts expire. However, they have been warned against doing so, with multiple case studies detailing a lack of protection for players.
