The Saudi government is serious about inviting the world's leading footballers to the local championship, Footmercato reports.
According to the source, Saudi Arabia is interested in inviting Lionel Messi, Luka Modric and Karim Benzema. The Arabs want each team in the top 4 to have its own leading player. Currently, Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo defends the colors of Al Nasr.
Al-Hilal is interested in Lionel Messi's services, having offered the player the biggest contract in the history of football. Al Ahly wants to see Luka Modric, but the Croatian is determined to extend his contract with Real Madrid.
Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema may move to Al-Ittihad. The Frenchman has so far rejected the first offer from this club.
