The hot news after the Saudi transfer chapter is about the journey of players in the Gulf. People may have different views, but the country is trying to woo soccer players by offering them a good deal. And the offers may seem to come at a cost of a few stringent rules in the Middle East. The wife of Neymar, who initially struggled with the new place, was indirectly contradicted by one of Neymar’s teammates recently.

The Saudi Pro League risked a lot of money to bring world-class players to improve the sport in the country. The clubs are also providing them with the best facilities and premium services to make their living easy amidst the restrictions of the land. And seems like all their efforts are paying off.

Popular Brazilian striker speaks about adapting well to living in Saudi

The Saudi Pro League invested almost a billion dollars last transfer window, second only to the Premier League. But is money the only reason to attract players? People may have multiple reasons, but the colleague of Neymar at Al Hilal, Malcom, expressed his pleasure of living in the Middle East. The Brazilian showered his praise for the country, saying “I will tell my son when he grows up that Saudi Arabia is a wonderful country, not just for playing football… but also for living in it.”

The striker has seen some of the best in the sport after playing in Brazil and Barcelona. The star, however, is appreciating Saudi for its soccer as well as a place to live. Malcom moved to Al Hilal earlier this July for a transfer of $63 million from Zenit Saint Petersburg. The striker has quickly adapted to his new team and had an astounding start to the League by scoring a hat trick against Abha.
