The Saudis are expected to spend big once again in January with plenty of top Premier League stars on their radar. But two players that definitely won’t be making the switch across the Meditteranean Sea in the New Year are Mohamed Salah and Bruno Fernandes.<\/p>\n
Liverpool have ruled out any offers for the Egyptian icon after turning down a \u00a3150million bid from Al-Ittihad over the summer while Fernandes recently\u00a0shrugged off links with a money-spinning move to the Middle East. So, who are the favourites to join the growing list of ex-Premier League stars plying their trade in the Saudi Pro League? Here, Express Sport takes a look at four of them.<\/p>\n
Both Juventus and\u00a0Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq are reportedly keen on acquiring Jadon Sancho’s services in January. The wantaway winger has been exiled from\u00a0Manchester United’s senior squad by\u00a0Erik ten Hag\u00a0after a social media bust-up with his manager.<\/p>\n
He is desperate to secure a move away but United have set a steep \u00a350m asking price for the Englishman, who joined the Red Devils two years ago from Borussia Dortmund\u00a0for \u00a373m. Given Sancho’s decline in form since making the switch to Old Trafford, United’s asking price is likely to be seen as too dear for cash-strapped Juve but shouldn’t turn away Al-Ettifaq.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to\u00a0The Telegraph,\u00a0Tottenham\u00a0forward Richarlison is among Saudi Arabia’s top transfer targets in January. Al-Ittihad were said to be keen on bringing him in over the summer but Spurs insisted he was not for sale. However, with Tottenham expected to strengthen their front line in the winter transfer window, Richarlison may end up moving elsewhere to help facilitate their spending.<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n Arsenal\u00a0could\u00a0consider letting Thomas Partey go for the right price in January following a string of injuries that have kept him sidelined for the majority of the 2023\/2024 campaign. Declan Rice has quickly established himself ahead of Partey in the pecking order during the Ghanian’s absence.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\nThomas Partey<\/strong><\/h3>\n
