When does Saudi Pro League transfer window shut?

Many top players have joined the Saudi league this summer

The Saudi Pro League has been very active in doing business in the ongoing transfer window. Although, they have had noticeable transfers in the past, the last two transfer windows, and especially the later one, has established its position as one of the most talked about league in world football.

Saudi Arabia has acquired some of the biggest superstars of the game in the ongoing transfer window. The so-called Saudi exodus began when superstar Cristiano Ronaldo announced that he will be ending his troubled second stint at Manchester United and will be joining Saudi side Al Nassr for a 2-and-a-half-year deal.

At the time, his decision was very polarising in the footballing community, on one side people said that it would lead to Ronaldo’s legacy being affected. On the other side it was said that one of the games biggest superstar leaving Europe would not be good for the popularity of the game.

However, Ronaldo’s move seems to have created an atmosphere in which some of the games biggest names have followed him to play in the Gulf League.

Some of the biggest names include his former Real Madrid teammate Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, Fabhino, Roberto Firmino, and most recently, Neymar.
