Lineker: Saudi clubs are not a threat to Europe, they will be if they sign Mbappe or another top star

Money from the Middle East began to change football, European clubs felt threatened. Especially those from the Premier League. They requested that the transfer period in Saudi Arabia end on the same day as on the Island, and not a week later, so that they would not fear that one of the players would leave and they would have no room to bring in a replacement.Arab teams are now seen as serious competition, able to pay equally. Even overpay. Quite a number of players rushed to the Middle East this summer to provide additional security, to improve their financial situation, and Gary Lineker assures that the best European teams should not fear until Kylian Mbappe or another megastar ends up there.##NAJAVA_MECA_7410198##When that happens – there will be reason to worry. Not before that.”Saudi clubs are spending a lot of money this summer, but until they sign Mbappe or another top world star, Europe’s top clubs can rest easy,” said Gary Lineker, referring to Chelsea’s dealings with clubs in Saudi Arabia:”Chelsea see the situation with Saudi Arabia as something positive. They used the opportunity and sent several players there that they didn’t count on, and they got a big payout.”Gary Lineker reminds that Saudi Arabia did not do anything new, but the same thing that the Americans, Chinese, and Japanese are doing or did… After all, it was the former striker of Leicester, Everton, Barcelona and Tottenham who left White Hart Lane at the end of his career for Japanese Nagoya Grampus. To earn a little more.”Arabia is currently the last in a series of countries where players will come to finish their careers and earn money. Same with MLS and China. Even I did a similar thing by going to Japan.”Ronaldo strikes late to rescue Manè’s Al Nassr debut against ZamalekOne of the most famous football TV analysts is aware that it is not easy for players to turn down offers and stay in Europe.”It’s easy to say,: ‘I wouldn’t go there for the money.’ Until someone throws millions in your face, only then does the dilemma become real. It is not easy to say ‘NO’ to such an offer. Saudi Arabia has a human rights problem. A large number of people are executed in one day,” concluded Garry Lineker.
