Premier League stars linked with Saudi Arabia moves and the mind-boggling money they could earn

Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante has become the first Premier League star to complete a move to Saudi Arabia and he won’t be the last. 

Kante is set to earn six times his Blues wage as he joins Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in the Middle East.

The Saudi Pro League is set to be littered with talent next season, with clubs making some simply incredible offers to attract the world’s best players. 

And with more and more interested in making the switch, talkSPORT.com takes a look at the Premier League stars linked to a move and how much they could earn. 

Ruben Neves 

Neves is likely to be the next player to leave England for Saudi Arabia. 

The Wolves midfielder has reportedly completed a medical with Al Hilal ahead of his £47million move. 

He will sign a three-year contract at the club and is set to earn an incredible £300,000-a-week in the Middle East, according to reports. 

Hakim Ziyech

Ziyech is one of many other Chelsea players linked with a move to join Kante in Saudi Arabia. 

And the Moroccan is edging ever closer to sealing the switch after reportedly agreeing personal terms with Al Nassr. 

He will earn a reported £10m-a-season which would double his current wage at Stamford Bridge. 

Edouard Mendy 

talkSPORT understands that Chelsea are open to selling Mendy this summer and he is now set to move on. 

The goalkeeper is also looking more and more likely to be moving to Saudi Arabia with personal terms reportedly agreed with Al Ahli. 

He will sign a three-year contract and is expected to be earning a lot more than his current salary in the Premier League. 

Kalidou Koulibaly 

Koulibaly is also now reportedly set to leave Chelsea to join Al Hilal too, only a year after arriving at Stamford Bridge.

The centre-back is rumoured to have agreed personal terms with the Saudi side and he is set to sign a three-year deal worth a whopping £28million-a-year. 

Kyle Walker

talkSPORT understands that Man City right-back Walker is attracting interest from Saudi Arabia this summer. 

The defender is weighing up his future at the Etihad Stadium, with Sheffield United looking at bringing him back to his hometown club. 

Thomas Partey 

Arsenal midfielder Partey is rumoured to be heading towards a move away this summer, with Saudi Arabia a potential destination. 

If the 30-year-old does make the switch to the Middle East, he would be in for a huge pay rise, with the Gunners star likely to be handed a similar contract to his fellow Premier League companions. 

Bernardo Silva 

Silva’s future at Man City has been in doubt over the last couple of seasons with Barcelona and PSG interested. 

However, the first approach has come from Saudi Arabia who have offered him a lucrative deal to try and pry him away from the treble winners. 

But the Portuguese international has reportedly turned the offer of an incredible salary down. 

Callum Hudson-Odoi 

According to reports, Hudson-Odoi is another Chelsea player to be targeted by Saudi Arabia this summer. 

The winger, who spent last season on loan at Bayer Leverkusen, is said to have been approached by multiple clubs in the Middle East. 

And with his role at Stamford Bridge uncertain, he may decide to make the switch and earn himself a big pay rise in the process. 

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 

Aubameyang has not had the best of times back in the Premier League with Chelsea and is set to leave again this summer. 

Barcelona are rumoured to be interested in having the striker return to the club while Saudi Arabia have also made an offer. 

He is already on a reported £160,000-a-week at Stamford Bridge so the offer to move to the Middle East would be presumed to be higher than that.
