Saudi Pro League’s ridiculous best XI shows mammoth spending spree’s immediate impact

Saudi Pro League clubs have signed a number of top European footballers this summer and many more could be on their way, with the likes of Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Paul Pogba all linked

The Saudi Pro League has made waves ever since Cristiano Ronaldo was tempted to join Al Nassr in January after leaving Manchester United.

As one of the best players in the history of the sport, Ronaldo was a huge signing for Saudi football. Since then, a number of other big names have joined Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia with even Lionel Messi heavily linked with a switch to Al-Hilal after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expired.

Although Messi ultimately opted to join MLS side Inter Miami instead, a host of other top European footballers have made the switch. Here, Mirror Football attempts to pick an all-star XI from the Saudi Pro League.

In goal we have Edouard Mendy , who is one of several Chelsea players to have joined a Saudi club this summer. Mendy, who was in goal when Chelsea won the 2021 Champions League final, joined Al Ahli for around £16m last month having lost his spot as number one to Kepa Arrizabalaga.
