La Liga prospect rejects Saudi Arabia transfer, Real Madrid loses out on deal payment
Introduction to the Article: The Impact of Saudi Arabian Interest in La Liga Players
Saudi Arabia’s Transfer Market Assault
In the last 12 months, Saudi Arabia has become a major player in the football transfer market, and it looks like their activity will continue into 2024. This trend has not overlooked La Liga, with top Spanish football league players already being targeted for potential moves.
Angel Correa and Al-Ittihad
One player who has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad is Angel Correa from Atletico Madrid. It has been reported that the club is open to selling the Argentine, who has seen less playing time this season.
Sergio Arribas’ Situation
Meanwhile, Sergio Arribas of Almeria has also attracted interest from Saudi Arabia, with reports indicating that he was offered a lucrative contract. However, Arribas has turned down the offer, choosing instead to focus on helping Almeria avoid relegation from La Liga. Real Madrid, who holds a 50% sell-on clause from Arribas’ deal with Almeria, would have benefited from his sale. They could potentially see financial gain if Almeria decides to part ways with the young midfielder in the upcoming summer transfer window.
