Not tempted! Marca: Real Madrid is one of the few clubs to which players have not been sold

According to the Marca newspaper, Real Madrid is one of the few clubs to have unsold players to Saudi Arabia.

Saudi "gold dollar football" swept the football market. When European giants sent the team's stars in exchange for huge income, Real Madrid became one of the few clubs that had not been sold to Saudi Arabia. Benzema and Nacho joined Saudi clubs after their contracts expired.

Since Ronaldo won the victory in Riyadh in January 2023, Saudi Arabia has invested nearly 2 billion euros to sign, becoming the second highest transfer spending in the world, second only to the Premier League. The generous treatment provided by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) is amazing, and Real Madrid cannot completely avoid these temptations. Militon, Rodrigo and Vinicius have always been their goals. However, both the club and the players have insisted on their position, that is, playing for the team is more valuable than making a lot of money in a Real Madrid jersey.

In fact, almost all the top European clubs succumbed to Saudi Arabia's offer, with Chelsea selling Kanter, Couliebali, Mendy and Angelo leading the list, followed by Manchester City, Paris and Roma. Manchester City sent Mahrez, Cancelo and Laporte away, while Paris sold Neymar to Riyadh Crescent for 90 million euros. Liverpool, Barcelona and Marseille also have two players each transfer to Saudi Arabia. Villa is the club that received the most transfer income from Saudi Arabia, with 137 million euros, followed by 103 million euros in Paris and 94.5 million euros in Chelsea.

In Spain, since 2023, clubs such as Betis, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, Getafe, Girona, Celta, Valladolid and Mallorca have sold players to Saudi Arabia, with a total revenue of 132.2 million euros, highlighting Saudi Arabia's huge attraction.
