What are people saying about the Saudi Pro League?

Jurgen Klopp's Opinion

Jurgen Klopp, manager of Liverpool, commented on the longer transfer window in the Saudi Pro League compared to European leagues. He expressed concern and called on UEFA or FIFA to find a solution to the issue.

"The influence of Saudi Arabia is massive at the moment. Pretty much the worst thing, I think, is that the transfer window in Saudi Arabia is open three weeks longer. UEFA or FIFA must find solutions for that," Klopp said.

Cristiano Ronaldo's Thoughts

Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese soccer great, believes that the Saudi Pro League has the potential to become one of the world's top five leagues. Ronaldo, who currently plays for Al-Nassr, praised the improvement in the quality of the league and expressed optimism for its future.

"Step-by-step I think this league will be among the top five leagues in the world but they need time, players and infrastructure. But I believe that this country has amazing potential, they have amazing people and the league will be great in my opinion," Ronaldo said.
