¿La nueva élite? Así quedan conformadas las plantillas en Arabia

Hace año y medio, cuando Cristiano Ronaldo llegó a la Saudi Pro League, muchos desacreditaron al futbolista al señalar que, en unos años, la liga de dicha zona continental se volvería mucho más competitiva que el futbol europeo.

Sin embargo, poco a poco, el tiempo parece estar dándole la razón. Y es que, las estrellas mundiales, aquellas que llegan con el suficiente renombre como para cobrar petrodólares, se han ido sumando a este proyecto que va cada vez más en crecimiento.

De esta manera, los ahora 18 equipos que se han "armado" para afrontar la temporada 23/24 y al tener muchas ventajas sobre la UEFA, como el no contar con el límite salarial o la intervención del Fondo de Inversión Pública del país, el cual ya controla a los cuatro de los principales clubes de futbol (el Fondo Soberano lideró un consorcio para comprar al Newcastle United y posee el 75 por ciento de Al Ittihad, Al Ahli, Al Nassr y Al Hilal) y que, según el Ministerio de Deportes de Arabia Saudita, buscaría privatizar más clubes, las estrellas del futbol se ven cada vez más seducidos por la idea de jugar en dicha liga.

Con esto en mente, valdría la pena realizar una lista de todos los clubes que participan en la liga y sus futbolistas.
