The Saudi Pro League (SPL)'s head of scouting Thomas Spring has opened up about potential moves for one Manchester City star and two Liverpool stars. Spring has claimed that he fancies a move for Kevin De Bruyne, Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez.
The Saudi Pro League has attracted some of the biggest superstars in world football in the last couple of years. Thomas Spring has said that the Saudi Pro League wants players like Kevin De Bruyne, Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez.
Spring also believes that the Saudi Pro League should also continue to sign emerging players like Jhon Duran. He told The Overlap, as quoted by Tribal Football:
“I think that the recruitment model will be a healthy balance between elite, world class players. So I still envisage a Mo Salah, a Kevin De Bruyne, a Darwin Nunez - I still envisage those players coming across."

“But I also envisage more really emerging players like a Jhon Duran for example. I seem more younger players really operating successfully in leagues around Europe coming across and that healthy balance being there."
Spring added that he wants Saudi Pro League to compete with Europe's top five leagues. He said:
“And then I also envisage that the ambition will still be there so the goal of the Saudi Pro League is to compete with Europe’s top five leagues."
"So whatever method to achieve that, whether that’s staffing or facilities or player recruitment, medical, whatever discipline that may be, I envisage that they’ll invest heavily into that to become on par with one of Europe’s top five leagues.”
Kevin De Bruyne has already announced that he will leave Manchester City at the end of the season, with his contract expiring. Mohamed Salah's current deal with Liverpool also expires in the summer but the Egyptian could still sign a new contract.
Meanwhile, Darwin Nunez was heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in January but Liverpool decided to keep the Uruguay international. The Merseyside giants are reportedly ready to offload the 25-year-old in the summer.
