The Saudi Arabian Pro League is looking to transform itself into a major league. Its strategy is to attract big names. Cristiano Ronaldo has been the figurehead. Benzema will soon follow. All that remains is to make it official. Other prestigious targets have also been mentioned, including Gabon's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Fabrizio Romano, the famous and networked journalist, tells us so. It's a plausible piece of information given the international's status at Chelsea, which is not part of the management's plans. For some time, journalists reported interest from Barcelona. But there is no doubt that offers from the new Saudi Eldorado will far outstrip those from Barcelona.
