In a recent interview, the Saudi League’s marketing and public relations director Mohammed al-Basawi addressed the league’s interest in certain players and some of the rumors.
Speaking about the Saudi League’s interest in Vinicius and Rodrigo, Basawi said that the league officials do not interfere with the signing activities of each club, but as a representative of the league, they are very keen to bring such good players to the Saudi league. Ultimately, however, it depends on the willingness of the clubs as well as several other factors.
To the previous outside reports that the Saudi league is willing to buy Vinicius for 1 billion euros, Basavi did not directly deny. “Although this is an astronomical figure, the goal of the Saudi league is to use the money to enhance the future value of the league and bring more exciting games and better players to the fans,” he said.
However, when it comes to the rumors between Salah, and Basawi directly denied them. He said Salah is one of the best players in the world and the Saudi League is keen to have him. But it is certain that league officials had no knowledge of the matter and were not involved in any relevant negotiations.
In addition, Barsawi also responded to the issue of extending his contract with Ronaldo. “This question has been asked many times,” he said. “Ronaldo is not only a good player, but also a brand with global influence.” However, the strategy of the Saudi league is not to focus on a single player, but to develop the whole league system.
Overall, Basawi’s comments show the Saudi League’s determination to bring in good players and enhance the value of the league, while also clarifying some rumours. I believe that in the future, the Saudi league will continue to work hard to bring more wonderful matches and better players to the fans.
