Saudi Pro League’s spending to overtake LaLiga as Premier League deals edge closer
to the club - have also spent £34m on Lazio's Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and £17m on Chelsea's Kalidou Koulibaly.Elsewhere, Al Ahli spent £16m on Chelsea's Edouard Mendy, Al-Ittihad offered £25m for Jota from Celtic, and have picked up Real Madrid legend Karim Benzema and another Blues star, N'Golo Kante, on a free.
But how does the league's overall spend compare to the top five leagues in the world so far this transfer window?The Saudi Pro League is on the verge of overtaking one of the world's biggest leagues that.That includes the £85.5m Real Madrid paid to Borussia Dortmund for marquee summer signing and England superstar Jude Bellingham.
But despite the midfielder's move being one of the most talked about transfers this summer, it won't help LaLiga edge the Saudi Pro League's spending, with the latter on the verge of forking out £24m more than them and counting.The Saudi Pro League is still just over £100m shy of Ligue 1, with Paris Saint-Germain's spend on Manuel Ugarte for £52m from Sporting Lisbon helping them to stay ahead.
It's clear, then, that the Saudi Pro League won't come close to competing with the Premier League just yet when it comes to spending on transfer fees. But given the amount they're forking out on wages, it's likely it won't be long before they're offering as much as those at the top of English football are.
