With the return of the transfer market, there is anticipation for the new wave of maxi offers coming from Saudi Arabia. Anything can happen soon
Exactly one year ago, right now, a massive recruitment campaign has begun in Saudi Arabia which led some of the best footballers of the Old Continent to move to the Riyadh area.
The clubs of the Saudi Pro League, supported by the unlimited resources of sovereign funds, have stocked up on top-tier players who played in the main European leagues. Serie A has also been the subject of great attentionas demonstrated by the many successful market operations.
Brozovic, Ibanez and above all Sergej Milinkovic-Savic they left Italy attracted by multimillion-dollar offers and now between now and the end of August other bigwigs could follow a similar path.
It is difficult to establish whether this will also be a summer of stampedes towards Saudi Arabia, but it is certain that many Saudi clubs will come forward with offers that are almost indispensable. Maybe starting from a goalkeeper in Serie A he made an impression and is now tempted by an over-sized proposal.
Goodbye fight for salvation, the goalkeeper goes to Saudi Arabia: crazy offer
The fit actually starts from Turin who is reportedly treating Maduka Okoyea twenty-five year old German goalkeeper of Nigerian origins who particularly stood out for Udinese in the second half of this championship.
Okoye took the starting place away from Silvestri who ended up being relegated to the bench. The Granata transfer men, coordinated by technical director Davide Vagnati, have put him at the top of the list of next transfer targets. The request of the Friulians amounts to approximately 12 million euros it scared Urbano Cairo but he didn’t give up.
Saudi Arabia, after Sergej Milinkovic-Savic also wants his brother: the latest on the negotiation
The owner of Torino trusts precisely in the Saudi clubs, perhaps in that Al-Hilal where Sergej Milinkovic-Savic plays and which is looking for a reliable goalkeeper. The former Lazio midfielder would have advised his club’s managers to buy his brother Vanja as soon as possible.
Hence the possible arrival of an offer both to him and to Torino which could indirectly unblock the negotiation with Udinese for Okoye. For now there is nothing concrete yet, but everything can change very quickly.
