Saudi boss wants big-name stars amid Vinicius links

Saudi Pro League CEO Omar Mugharbel insists the idea of signing of high-profile footballers will continue after the likes with Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe.

The Saudi Arabian league hit the jack pot in 2022 after bringing some big names from Europe, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and Karim Benzema.

There was an offer for Vinicius in the recent transfer window from an unnamed club while Al Hilal reportedly presented a big offer for Vinicius last season.

While there weren't any big stars to join the league this season, the CEO insists they will try again in the future.

"The idea is to continue signing stars, and I believe that everything is possible. We have made the impossible possible. You never know what can happen." he told El Espanol.

"I think we will continue with that same momentum in the future. So you never know what we can see in the next transfer market.

"I think having players of this quality, having teams developing and becoming more competitive really makes the Saudi Pro League a valid option for anyone, regardless of age.  

"It won't be surprising to see any name in the Saudi League. Honestly, this makes us very proud as a league and as a country. And it's a key element for us to continue moving forward,"
