Saudi Arabia s league disrupts European giants! Anthony may be in the Ronaldo camp, and Manchester United s problems have just begun?

The transfer market is not short of topics every summer, but this year's "buying crowd" in the Saudi league once again shocked fans around the world. Riyadh's victory had just settled Felix, and he turned around and threw another 60 million euros to sign Manchester United winger Anthony. The big operation made European giants feel unprecedented pressure for a while.

is worthy of being the impact of Saudi capital, it is really not a joke.

The Saudi League has become a "new gold mine", why are European players gathering?

In the past, people often said "retirement league", but now the Saudi league is not just about spending money to invite retired veterans. From Ronaldo, Mane, Felix and then to Anthony, who may be coming, more and more legitimate players choose to leave the top five European leagues. High salary is naturally one of the attractiveness, but more importantly, the ambition and operational ideas of Saudi clubs have changed, and their goals are directly aimed at the stage of Asian and even world football.

A friend joked, "I feel that the Saudi league is about to become the second home court of European giants." In fact, I think this is also a true portrayal of football's globalization. Behind Anthony's rumors this time is actually the pain of traditional European teams in front of new capital.

Manchester United's difficulty in selling people, cleaning and reconstruction dilemma

Back to Manchester United, the team's performance last season broke many fans' hearts, ranked 15th and missed the European game, and the pressure to rebuild was huge. 150 million euros have been invested this summer to buy people, but the capital chain is tight and high-paying and redundant employees must be dealt with. Names such as Anthony, Sancho and Garnacho have long been on the cleaning list, but it is difficult for the European market to have a suitable buyer.

At this time, Riyadh extended an olive branch to win, and Manchester United naturally hoped to get rid of the high price. Anthony joined 95 million euros, but in two years he only handed over 96 games 12 goals and 5 assists. This bill makes people frown no matter how you look at it. After renting Betis for half a season, he scored 9 goals and 5 assists, and his value has slightly rebounded. Manchester United asked for an external price of 60 million euros, but European teams think it is expensive, but Saudi Arabia thinks it is just right.

It has to be said that in the current transfer market, Saudi capital is really "a rain in time".

Riyadh wins to create the "Gods' Frontline", a new pattern in the Asian League?

Riyadh victory in the signing rhythm this summer is simply silly. Felix, Anthony, Mane, and Ronaldo, this forward configuration is almost invincible in Asia. Some fans joked: Can this team play directly at the Champions League? It’s a joke, but such star-stacking operations have indeed increased the attention of the entire league.

Anthony himself actually wanted to stay in Betis and was even willing to cut his salary. But the reality is that the transfer fee is high and Betis does not have the financial resources. Faced with the high salary and main position of Saudi clubs, he also began to be moved. Anyway, I think that for a 25-year-old player, he can make a lot of money and have the main identity, why not do it?

Market dispute: New ecology or a "golden dollar bubble"?

Perhaps some people think that the Saudi League gives players more stage and also makes global football more energetic. But there must be hidden worries. Will such capital madness make the league lose its original competition and training?

And I think some Manchester United fans are most concerned about whether they can introduce more reliable new players after selling Anthony, and don’t repeat the mistake of high-priced “parallel goods”. Watching the team frequently clean up big names, it makes people doubt the decisions of signing and management.

Saudi capital storm is just the beginning?

Now it seems that I think the Saudi league is far from "stop". In the next few years, how will European giants cope with Saudi Arabia's continuous poaching? Will new rules appear in the transfer market? Will the player's career path become more international? If Anthony kicks out in a new environment, who will be the next one to be taken away?

What do you think of this "buying storm" in the Saudi league? If Anthony really can partner with Ronaldo, what kind of chemical reaction do you think will occur? Can Manchester United's reconstruction path really be carried on by selling people?
