Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al Nassr last December on £173million a year – or £3.3m a week – while the likes of Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante have penned lucrative deals with Al Ittihad.
But it’s not just their top flight that Saudi Arabia are trying to improve – but their pyramid too.
Futbol Jobs is used as a platform to help out of contract players secure moves, and is used by 170,000 people.
An advert posted on there is offering footballers the opportunity to move to the Saudi Third Division – their fourth tier.
The promotion cites an “urgent need” for centre-backs, midfielders, No10s and strikers from overseas.
Players are being offered around £2,600 to £3,500 a week to move over.
In addition to their salary, which would work out to over £100k a year, players will also receive a free house and car.
Former Wigan ace Max Power, meanwhile, snubbed rumoured interest from Wrexham to join second tier Saudi side Al-Qadsiah.
