Gary Neville has called for the Premier League to ban transfers to Saudi Arabia until it's confirmed that 'the integrity of the game isn't being damaged'. Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante have already secured moves to the Saudi Pro League this summer, with plenty more expected to follow suit.
Lionel Messi was once expected to pen a bumper deal in the Middle East too, but he jetted off to the United States and signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Inter Miami instead. With Saudi Arabian clubs eager to get their hands on some more big names, several Chelsea and Arsenal players have been subject to interest.
Hakim Ziyech, Edouard Mendy and Kalidous Koulibaly are expected to depart Stamford Bridge for around £138.5million, while Thomas Partey has reportedly emerged as a target for Al Nassr, Al Ahli and Al Khaleej. Wolves also look set to cash-in on the Saudi spending spree, with Al Hilal reportedly set to cough up £47million for Ruben Neves.
