Saudi Pro League plan blockbuster summer transfer spree as they target TEN star names including Man Utd pair
Man Utd could allow several big-name players to move after chief held talks with Saudi club
SAUDI PRO LEAGUE clubs are planning a blockbuster summer transfer spree that could see huge names leave the Premier League, according to reports.
Last summer a number of stars were tempted by lucrative offers, including Neymar who left Paris Saint-Germain to sign a £314million deal with Al-Hilal.
Mo Salah was subject to a £215m bid from Al-Ittihad and Liverpool could face a struggle to keep their star man once again.
According to , Salah is one of ten blockbuster signings planned by Saudi clubs.
Manchester United pair Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes could make the move to the Middle East.
SunSport understands Fernandes is considering a summer switch after four-and-a-half years at Old Trafford.
The midfielder revealed he will weigh up his options after the Euros, while team-mate Casemiro has long been linked to Saudi – with Jamie Carragher telling him he needs to move on after a dreadful showing against Crystal Palace.
Saudi clubs have looked to attract superstars in recent years and that appears to be the case once again with Kevin De Bruyne and Salah on their radar once again.
Their team-mates, Brazilian goalkeepers Ederson and Alisson, also look likely to attract bids when the transfer window re-opens.
Casemiro and Fernandes may not be the only United players to jump ship after football director John Murtough flew to the country for talks in December.

Raphael Varane has been linked with a move to Saudi in the past while Jadon Sancho was also subject to a bid from Al-Ettifaq before re-joining Borussia Dortmund on loan.
While several blockbuster signings could take place, Saudi spending is tipped to decrease this summer after 94 overseas players were signed last summer for an eye-watering total of £767m.
