Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has emerged as the latest target for the Saudi Pro League.
The 30-year-old had a very difficult year as he missed the better part of the season due to a wave of injuries.
He played 10 games in the last season. Featuring in only six Serie A games while starting in only one of them.
He was also dropped from the Italian Club’s Europa League round of 16 match against Freiburg for disciplinary issues which they won 3-0 on aggregate.
Saudi Pro League’s owners aim to bring all the superstars to the Middle-east. Starting with Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Al-Nassr in January 2023, became the first high-profile player to join the Saudi league.
Karim Benzema joined Al-Ittihad last week after signing a big-money contract. Meanwhile, Chelsea’s Ngolo Kante is also close to joining his French teammate.
Lionel Messi was also contacted by Al-Hilal but the Argentine decided to join the American club Inter Miami, which is co-owned by the legendary footballer David Beckham.
Juventus had a very difficult season as they were handed out a 10-point deduction for alleged financial irregularities and false accounting in the Italian League due to which they finished seventh and will be playing the UEFA Conference League (UECL) in the next season.
The opportunity to offload to Frenchman, who is one of the highest earners in the club, may be tempting to the Italian Club as they are now looking forward to a potential rebuild this summer.
There have also been reports of Sergio Busquets and Sergio Ramos joining Benzema and Ronaldo in the Middle East as both the players are now free agents.
Busquets left Barcelona after spending 14 legendary years at the Catalan club while Ramos finished his contract with the French club Paris Saint Germain (PSG).
Hugo Lloris, Alexis Sanchez, Angel Di Maria, Roberto Firmino, Wilfried Zaha, Riyad Mahrez and Jordi Alba are the names that are heavily linked with the Saudi Pro League.
