Premier League players are allegedly interested in joining Saudi clubs this summer.

Last summer's transfer window saw the Saudi Pro League emerge as a credible destination for some of the world's best players.

While Saudi spending was more restrained in the January window, the league appears to be making another push to increase its appeal by attracting more big-name players this summer.

Several Premier League players have been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia this summer.

Ederson

Ederson, the Manchester City goalkeeper, is reportedly getting interest from Al-Ittihad this summer. According to Mail Sport, City could make an initial £25 million bid for the Brazilian, who has been plagued by injuries this season but remains the club's number one and recently won his sixth Premier League title.

Mo Salah

The Liverpool forward was the subject of a stunning £150 million bid from Al-Ittihad last summer, and the Guardian reports that he is once again on the radar of Saudi Pro League clubs.

According to David Ornstein of the Athletic, Salah is expected to stay with the club for another year. But, with only one season left on his contract, may the Reds be tempted to cash in and start again under new manager Arne Slot?

Alisson

Salah's Liverpool teammate Alisson is also a target for Saudi Pro League clubs, according to the Guardian. The goalkeeper's contract extends until 2027, so it would take a large deal to entice him away from Anfield this summer.

Kevin de Bruyne

Another player that would constitute an enormous coup for the Saudi Pro League. According to the Mirror, De Bruyne is not interested in moving to the Middle East, although Al Hilal is leading the Saudi clubs' interest in the Belgian playmaker.

Kyle Walker

According to The Sun, De Bruyne's teammate is more receptive to moving to Saudi Arabia this summer. They report that Walker is contemplating his alternatives, despite being content at Manchester City.

Casemiro

The Brazilian midfielder has struggled in his second season at Manchester United and could conclude his two-year Premier League career by moving to Saudi Arabia this summer.

The Telegraph reports that he could join former Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, with United willing to let him go.

Bruno Fernandes

United captain Bruno Fernandes is also attracting interest from Saudi Arabia, despite the Telegraph reporting that this is "far less likely." Fernandes recently stated that the club must "want him" if he is to stay, and it would undoubtedly be a massive coup if a Saudi club could pull it off.

From Chloe Kelly to Naomi Girma, here are ten players that could move in January.

As the winter transfer market opens, we take a look at ten prominent players who may change teams next month. Naomi Girma Age 24 Nationality US Club San Diego Wave Girma, widely regarded as one of the top centre-backs in the world and recently named to the FIFA top XI, is nearing the final year of her contract, and speculation has grown that she may leave San Diego. Only the world's wealthiest clubs are expected to be able to afford her this window, and she has been connected with French giants Lyon, although Chelsea are also looking for a central defender after Kadeisha Buchanan suffered a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament damage. Chloe Kelly Age 26 Nationality English Club Manchester City Having started only one Women’s Super League game this season, a move away from Manchester City may be the solution for Kelly to secure more match minutes in her quest for a seat on the plane to Euro 2025 with the Lionesses next summer. The winger, whose winning goal clinched England vic...

Rodri of Manchester City criticizes Real Madrid's tactics following their Champions League defeat: I only saw one squad.

Rodri complained about Real Madrid's tactics after Manchester City's painful Champions League quarter-final loss, saying he "saw only one team" striving to win. City's European title defence came to an end in agony on Wednesday at the Etihad Stadium, with the Spanish giants winning 4-3 in penalties after a 1-1 draw on the night made the tie 4-4 on aggregate. The holders dominated the match, with 33 shots on goal to the visitors' eight, but Real defended deep to frustrate them and ultimately extinguish their dreams of a second consecutive triple. City midfielder Rodri stated, "To be honest, I only saw one team. They defended well. They knew how to suffer, and we know how resilient Real Madrid is. "But, in my opinion, we should take that many chances; yet, this is the trick of this competition. They understand how to play it. We congratulate them. "We gave all, and there is nothing to regret. This can occasionally be football. This demonstrat...

Borussia Dortmund is 'considering a bid' for Marcus Rashford.

Borussia Dortmund is investigating a transfer for Marcus Rashford. According to the Athletic's David Ornstein, the Bundesliga club has joined the hunt for Manchester United's out-of-favour attacker in the summer. Rashford has become a peripheral character at Old Trafford with the arrival of Rúben Amorim, being dropped from four consecutive matchday lineups. He returned for a home loss to Newcastle but missed last weekend's draw at Liverpool due to illness, and his long-term chances remain bleak. Rashford has also been linked with Serie A giants Milan and Juventus, as well as many undisclosed Premier League suitors.

Why Kane’s Astonishing 73-Goal Season Blew Away the Ballon d'Or Competition.

Harry Kane did not win the 2026 Ballon d’Or because football finally decided to reward patience. He won because his season presented an extraordinary argument: 73 goals in 65 appearances for club and country, including 61 in 51 matches for Bayern Munich. Kylian Mbappé finished second and Lamine Yamal third, but Kane’s combination of record-breaking production and collective achievement ultimately placed him above both. The numbers require one important distinction. These were not 73 goals for Bayern, nor a calendar-year total assembled across parts of two campaigns. They comprised 61 club goals and 12 for England during the season under consideration. That clarity matters because an achievement this substantial deserves to be understood accurately, not enlarged through misleading comparisons. “Blew away the competition” describes the force of his candidacy rather than a verified landslide in voting points. The confirmed result establishes the finishing order; it does not, by itself, te...

Barcelona's final attempt to register Dani Olmo will face a court battle.

Barcelona's chances of having Dani Olmo and Pau Victor available for the rest of the season appear to be dwindling. After missing the deadline to remain registered for the remainder of the season, Barcelona delivered La Liga all of the necessary documentation for the sale of their VIP seats, a deal worth an estimated €110 million that would allow them to do so. However, due to the missing deadline, La Liga would not allow Barcelona to keep Olmo and Victor registered, as rules prohibit players from being registered twice. As a result, Barcelona's sole contractual option is to file a court appeal to their decision. According to MD, they have a variety of legal options. They may claim force majeure, which refers to unforeseeable situations that prevent them from assembling the documentation for La Liga, but legal experts say that is unlikely to qualify for that verdict. However, according to the Catalan daily, the most likely argument is that the registration period be extended...
