Saudi Arabia and its government intend to continue their raid on European football. The ambitions of decision -makers of the Arab country are still as disproportionate, and inevitably, they are looking at the clubs that are working well at the moment to shop. This is the case of FC Barcelona, and on the side of its training center in particular, since the Masia returned to fashion following the explosion of many players from the Blaugrana Academy in recent months.
Indeed, the Saudi authorities intend to draw from FC Barcelona. Unai Hernandez (20), captain and most decisive player in Barça B, will go towards Al-Ittihad in the coming days. The Saudi club will pay 5 million euros and the departure of the attacking midfielder, which completely surprised Barcelona leaders, will be confirmed in the coming days.
Departures that are cleared
And that's not all. Sport Indicates that the Saudis have set their sights on two other players. First, Pau Prim, 18 -year -old midfielder at the end of the contract with Barça. SAUDI PRO LEAGUE got into the file and would have convinced the player not to extend to join one of the clubs of the championship, which is likely to be al-Qadisiyah, club trained by Michel, the former OM. The Catalan media explains that Arnau Pradas, 18 -year -old winger, will also leave the Catalan club at the end of the contract with options to join Saudi Arabia.
Three rather major players in the Masia will therefore probably fly to the Arab country soon. That's not all, since the first team is also likely to be threatened. Pedri has already been approached during this month of January, but he said no and wishes to stay in Barcelona. In recent weeks, there has also been a question of a Saudi interest in players like Raphinha or Frenkie de Jong. And there is no doubt that others will soon be targeted …
