Barca and Juve in Saudia Super League?! So illusional that it could even become reality

According to the Italian 'Tuttosport', those two clubs could follow some superstar players and take a chance in the Middle East

All the roads lead to Ro... to Saudi Arabia, actually. At least, that's the case with modern football, as numerous stars, like Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, have already accepted lucrative offers from several Saudi clubs. Now, however, the time has apparently come for clubs to follow the same path...

According to the Italian 'Tuttosport', along with the 2030 FIFA World Cup bid, the scenario is to see European powerhouses Barcelona and Juventus in the Saudi Super League.

"The Saudis plan to create a world-class competition with these two teams as benchmarks in the hypothetical case that UEFA excludes the Blaugrana for the notorious 'Negreira case' and the Bianconeri for the capital gains scandal."

It would be, according to the source mentioned above, a competition to which they would also invite big clubs that had not qualified for the highest European continental competition. As things stand, UEFA 'trembles' at the possibility that other clubs end up being drawn to this crazy new Saudi idea. But with all that money in the story, the possibility doesn't seem so unbelievable, does it?
