In the high-stakes world of soccer transfers, surprises often emerge, and this summer has been no exception. With the Saudi teams spending nearly €1 billion on the likes of Neymar, Ruben Neves, and Sadio Mane this summer, the Gulf state is aiming to enhance the reputation of the Saudi Pro League. After Cristiano Ronaldo announced his arrival in Saudi Arabia, a flurry of transfer activity sparked in the Middle East. However, there’s more to the story, as according to a transfer market intermediary, the next big stars to move to Saudi could be none other than Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba.

While Cohen didn’t divulge specific details about potential negotiations, his comments on Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba have set the rumor mill abuzz. On the situation concerning Pogba, he said, “The Frenchman’s profile is certainly interesting. So why not, he could be one of the future stars of the league. But he will have to prove his qualities again this season at Juventus, showing the world that he is a top player.”

Regarding Romelu Lukaku, Cohen’s stance is tinged with a sense of uncertainty. Lukaku was the subject of an approach from Saudi Arabia this summer, but the Belgian turned down the offer and ended up joining Mourinho’s Roma on loan. Cohen stated, “Sometimes there are situations that you don’t fully understand. I think Romelu is happy at Roma now, but never say never. Nobody knows the future. And if I get a call from him, we’ll see how to act.”

Cohen’s statement echoes the sentiment that the allure of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious project might just be irresistible, and if Pogba and Lukaku do decide to make the move, it could be really interesting for the Saudi Pro League.

There is already a long list of players who decided to switch from Europe for the Middle East this summer after multiple Saudi clubs emerged with lucrative offers. Star players like Neymar Jr., Karim Benzema, Mahrez, Kante, etc. have followed in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo to join the project. The Pro League is still targeting some of the world’s biggest names and hopes to build further for the quality of the league.

As the footballing world eagerly awaits the unfolding of these potential transfer sagas, Gad Cohen’s expertise in brokering high-profile deals could once again reshape the landscape of the sport. While nothing is certain until the official information comes out in the transfer market, the prospects of European talent joining the Saudi league seem tantalizing.

Only time will tell if Cohen’s predictions come true. But one thing is for sure, the Saudi Pro League is becoming an increasingly attractive destination for top players and talent.
