The Arabs are creating a Saudi-European Super League?

The football volcano from Saudi Arabia has erupted and has no intention of stopping so easily, as long as the money keeps flowing like lava.

The clubs from the Middle East have started to bring some of the best football players in the world to their countries, strengthen the clubs, and strengthen the leagues, but it is far from the final solution. Their plans are much bigger, especially since they have already bought several clubs in Europe.

The famous German newspaper "Bild", always well informed, thunders today about the new plan of the Saudi, because of this football in Europe could look completely different. As the Germans claim, the plan of the Arabs is to create a Saudi-European Super League! That in a few years they will strengthen their clubs so much that they can comfortably compete with the strongest European teams. And then to create a competition rich in millions that will pair the best from the Middle East with those from Europe.

More precisely, Bild writes that the Arabs will first throw the bait to UEFA. It has already been written about: the Saudis will ask that their clubs be allowed to compete in European cup competitions, from the Champions League to the Conference League. And UEFA has no intention of allowing that. The president of the European Football Association, Alexander Čeferin, rejected that possibility, as well as people from the German Football Association.

"Something like that is unacceptable," said Hans-Joachim Watzke, Dortmund's former operative.

But it is not impossible. Neither Israel nor Kazakhstan geographically belong to Europe, so they play under its auspices. What would then prevent Saudi Arabia from requesting an "exit" from the Asian association and enrolling in the European association.

However, if UEFA rejects such a possibility, the Saudis will start with Plan B. And that is the formation of a Super League with their and the best European clubs, in which the prizes would be astronomical.

Many leading European clubs have already tried to "break away" from UEFA, led by Real, Barca and Juventus, but that coup ultimately failed. There was not enough determination. The question is how they would react if a bait in the form of millions and millions arrived from the Middle East.

Thus, UEFA would be faced with two "evils", one of which would have to be swallowed: to let the Saudis into the Eurocups or perhaps to lose some of the continent's strongest clubs from its fold, which would move to a more lucrative intercontinental competition.
