Saudi Arabian football clubs are reportedly preparing lucrative offers to sign Arsenal players Gabriel Jesus and Thomas Partey, who together cost the club £90 million. The duo has been subject to speculation regarding their futures at Arsenal, with Jesus scoring just eight goals and providing seven assists last season, and Partey’s contract set to expire next year.
Saudi Pro League clubs have demonstrated significant spending power, investing a record $957 million in the 2023 summer transfer window. They acquired 94 overseas players, including 37 from Europe’s top leagues, with the Premier League being the primary source.
The potential offers from Saudi clubs could tempt Arsenal to sell, especially considering Jesus’ underwhelming performance and Partey’s contractual situation. However, it remains to be seen whether the Gunners will accept any bids for the pair.
The interest from Saudi clubs highlights the growing influence of the Saudi Pro League in the global football transfer market. With their substantial financial resources, they are becoming increasingly attractive options for players seeking lucrative deals.
