Dauri Rachid and the shift in billion-dollar transfers
The article focused on the change in the spending policies of Saudi Pro League clubs during the summer of 2026. Spending decreased by 26.3%, reaching approximately $407 million, reflecting a shift from massive transfers toward a more selective and prudent strategy. Clubs have not stopped signing high-profile players, such as Martinelli for €65 million, but they are now more focused on choosing players based on actual needs and alignment with long-term plans. There is a greater emphasis on developing local talent and reducing reliance on veteran players. This trend indicates a change in the nature of competition, where success no longer depends solely on the size of expenditures but on smart investment of funds. The goal is to build more balanced teams, with a focus on young players capable of providing sustainable technical value.
