Saudi Arabia's Pursuit of Football Stars: Messi, Benzema, Modric, and Kante in Demand

TL;DR Summary
Saudi Arabian football clubs have made offers to several high-profile football stars, including Lionel Messi, Karim Benzema, Luka Modric, Sergio Ramos, and N'Golo Kante, as they aim to boost the growth of the Pro League. Al-Hilal has offered Messi €400 million a year, while Al-Ittihad has made a pitch to Benzema. Ronaldo's arrival at Al Nassr has led to skyrocketing interest in the league, and the media attention would only increase if Ronaldo and Messi resumed their rivalry in Riyadh. These moves come as Saudi Arabia is expected to bid for the 2030 World Cup alongside Egypt and Greece.
