Saudi Arabia are targeting Kevin De Bruyne and Mohamed Salah next as the nation continues its huge spending frenzy that has seen the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo , Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante make the move along with a host of Premier League stars. The ambitious plan is not set to end this summer and clubs will be fearing that their top players could continue to leave for Saudi. Jurgen Klopp has seen his captain Jordan Henderson and midfield partner Fabinho leave for Al Ettifaq and Al Ittihad respectively, while Pep Guardiola lost Riyad Mahrez to Al Ahli. Now with De Bruyne and Salah targeted, some of the biggest clubs in world football have to worry about holding onto their best players. The Premier League’s summer transfer deadline day is on September 1 but another major concern is that Saudi business can still take place for another 19 days, leaving clubs vulnerable to losing players without being able to replace them.
