Saudi Arabia has shaken up the hierarchy. This summer, more than ever, the stars have gone into exile in more…exotic leagues. Enough to enrage the competition, forced to give up some of their best elements, sometimes reluctantly. However, a bigger problem could well hamper the fairness between the clubs. Indeed, the summer transfer window ends on September 1 in Europe, on the 7 in Saudi Arabia. Enough to leave less time for European clubs to replace certain players, who left at the last moment for sums impossible to refuse.
Recently, it was Jürgen Klopp who showed little reassurance about the aggressive policy of the Saudis. Comments shared by Pep Guardiola. According to the Daily Mail, Premier League clubs should pressure FIFA to bring forward Saudi Arabia’s transfer deadline, to avoid being looted after the European window closes. If so, the English – like other countries in Europe – wouldn’t even have time to replace their players. A disaster that could have serious consequences on the various championships. That said, it’s too late for a change to take place on the transfer deadline in Saudi Arabia, but in the future, no doubt it will be brought forward.
