Sudan Events – Agencies
Several meetings were held between officials of English clubs and some Saudi football officials to discuss the transfer of players from the English League to the Saudi League in the upcoming summer transfer period. The majority of Saudi clubs are moving in the upcoming summer transfer market, amid great anticipation for the process of raising the quality of the league by bringing in better players while increasing the number of foreigners to 10 players, provided that there are two players born in 2003.
John Murtaugh, the former sporting director of Manchester United, left for Saudi Arabia at the end of January with the aim of holding talks with officials, and he offered several players for sale, led by the Brazilian player Casemiro, who is expected to come to the Saudi League next summer. He also visited the American Poli, president of the English club Chelsea. Saudi Arabia during the past month, where it is likely that he met with the Saudi League’s sporting director, Michael Emenalo, and the Belgian Lukaku, the Chelsea striker loaned to Roma, became at the top of the list of wanted players in the Saudi League, as one of the clubs received a green light to negotiate the deal with the club’s sporting director Arsenal, Edo Gaspar, and his assistant, Jason Eto’o, visited the Kingdom last week, which was described as a meet-and-greet trip, according to “The Athletic” website, and the meeting focused on getting to know Saudi League officials in order to discuss players and potential deals, and the English media linked Arsenal player Thomas Partey to the transfer to the Saudi League next summer, where Al-Ittihad and Al-Nasr clubs want to sign the Ghanaian midfielder.
