Teams in the Saudi Pro League are reportedly expected to shell out significant money during the summer transfer window in an effort to lure big names from the English Premier League.
According to ESPN's Rob Dawson, some of the stars the SPL is targeting include Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva, Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Álisson, Manchester United's Raphaël Varane, Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes, and Fulham's Andreas Pereira.
Dawson noted that Al Ittihad, Al Ahli, Al Nassr and Al Hilal, which are all owned by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, are expected to attempt to address needs by shopping for Premier League players.
