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.
