Following Jhon Duran’s January 31 transfer to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr, Sporting Director Monchi has harshly criticized the Saudi Pro League. Duran’s income will be quadrupled under the arrangement in comparison to his prior compensation at the Birmingham club.
Monchi voiced skepticism about the Premier League’s financial might in comparison to its Saudi counterparts, implying that the latter’s financial influence had drawn players away from Europe’s elite leagues.
He is still doubtful that the Saudi Pro League’s financial appeal can be matched by its competitive standards.
“The economic potential of Arab football isn’t even in the Premier League; it’s a significant rival as it attracts signings,” Monchi said in an interview with Radioestaido Noche on Onda Cero.
Suarez, who managed Duran at FC in Colombia, called the criticism “stupid” and underlined that no one would reject a €100 million contract.
He remarked, “When he was first trained at Envigado, they talked about financial stability rather than glory.
Getting financial support is the first step toward these young athletes’ success. He went on to say, “Jhon will be financially independent enough to pursue grandiose aspirations by the time he gets 26.
In addition to receiving recognition for his lifetime of hard work, he will be able to develop as a player in Saudi Arabia by growing up with greats like Sadio Mané and Cristiano Ronaldo.
