This summer, several players want to leave the Saudi Pro League. This is the case of Aymeric Laporte, who is being courted by Real Madrid. But Al-Nassr, who is not closing the door on his departure, is demanding money. On the Al-Ittihad side, N’Golo Kanté is popular. Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona are on the case. If things are likely to move in the direction of departures, it is also the case in the direction of arrivals.
It’s no secret that Saudi Arabia, which will host the 2034 World Cup, wants to get its hands on known players to develop its local championship. Recently, the name of Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid) was mentioned. The same goes for Paulo Dybala. In May, Al-Shabab had positioned itself to recover the Argentinian whose contract ends in June 2025. But negotiations between the different parties had not been successful.
Dybala set to head to Saudi Arabia
The Italian press had even mentioned a possible extension at AS Roma the Joya. Then Al-Qadsiah entered the dance to recruit him. A few days ago, Sky Italy explained that the 2022 world champion had rejected the rich Saudi club. But that is not really the case. Discussions continued between the different parties. And it bore fruit. According to our information, Paulo Dybala has almost reached an agreement with Al-Qadsiah.
The Argentinian is expected to sign a 3-year contract and will receive a salary of 15 million euros net per season. There are only a few details left to settle between AS Roma and the Saudi club, who are discussing to wrap everything up in the coming hours. After only two seasons in the Italian capital, Dybala will therefore leave. Having spent time with Palermo and Juventus before joining the Louve, he will have spent twelve years in Italy. A country that he appreciates and where he exploded at the highest level. Now, he will go and discover the Saudi Pro League in a club where Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang plays in particular.
