UEFA president responds to fears over Saudi transfer plan with "mistake" admission

UEFA chief Aleksander Ceferin has attempted to play down concerns about Saudi spending power threatening the biggest European clubs.

Cristiano Ronaldo 's mega-money mid-season move was just one of a number of high-profile transfers to the Saudi Pro League. Ronaldo's Al-Nassr will have plenty of competition next term, with Karim Benzema joining Al-Ittihad after confirming his departure from Real Madrid.

It isn't ending there, with Al-Hilal courting Ruben Neves and the likes of N'Golo Kante and Hakim Ziyech also linked with moves to the league. Ceferin, however, is not anticipating a player exodus, and indeed has questioned the approach of the big-spending teams.
