I think this has always been a PR stunt to keep them in the news. Transfer was never happening.
No no, it was serious, remember the man in charge who says yes to transfers I believed has moved to France or somewhere else in Europe to make it easier to negotiate
Salah would be the face of their new football order and for people to think the Saudi won’t exist next year seem to be in a bubble
They have unlimited funds, the oil companies for example are all state owned to they get the profits, they were not stupid enough like us who sold off their national assets for a quick buck (see our water system making billions now for people on other countries)
Think golf, boxing and even tennis, they are here to stay
Salah is bigger than Ronaldo name wise, think of it that way
Next year we will get a very good fee for him that could be reinvested into the club to keep us competitive with the rest
This has helped us, think about it, hendo and fab, no way were we getting like 50-55m for them, now we manage to bring in a young cm for the next 10 years probably
We don’t have the financial power of Chelsea, Arsenal, United or city, but now we can also get extra funds in which they won’t benefit from as much as they already have the funds to compete with them
People should always think long term imo
Salah most likely in 2-3 years would leave on free, now we get 120-150m of money we would not normally get to buy the next salah so to speak and buy a midfield player and possible a cb if not with that money but with our existing budget
We have history of reinvesting well, the pip funds to barcelona helped us buy the best goal
Keeper on the world, I don’t think we would have gotten him otherwise and maybe salah even
If we could do the same with the salah funds, this is our rise again
