The Saudi Pro League burst onto the world football scene this year. Since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr in January, the Saudi Arabian first division became an increasingly chosen destination for renowned footballers. This summer, there were many figures who followed in the Portuguese’s footsteps.

++ Neymar compares himself to Zico as another Brazilian star without a World Cup trophy

That is why in Europe there is some concern about the closure of the transfer market. While in the five major leagues of the Old Continent the clubs will not be able to incorporate until January, in the Middle East they still have the possibility of removing more stars.

Until when can players sign in the Saudi Pro League?

According to FIFA, the transfer market for the Saudi Pro League closes on Wednesday, September 20. However, the league site says that the last day to incorporate players is Thursday the 7th of the same month.

This summer has seen several talented players move to Saudi Arabia, tempted by the incredible contracts this competition offers. Several Brazilian players appear on the list of reinforcements for the summer market.
