Saudi Pro League (SPL) teams are targeting a number of Premier League stars ahead of the summer transfer window, a source has told ESPN.
Established players like Kevin De Bruyne, Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Alisson, Raphaël Varane, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva and Andreas Pereira are all on the agenda for next season.

A source has told ESPN that there will also be a push to sign younger players, including Juventus‘ 20-year-old forward Matìas Soulè.
Sources in Saudi Arabia are not expecting top-flight teams to match their record £757 million ($957m) spend from 2023 but insist this summer’s transfer strategy will be equally aggressive and the outlay on player fees is set to be significant.
