UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin carefully monitors the latest football trends.
However, according to the Slovenian, famous players who are starting to flock to the Middle East will not become a guarantee of future Arab victories.
"The current transfer policy of Saudi Arabian footballers is a mistake.
They would be better off investing this money in academies, inviting coaches, and developing their talents.
Buying players who are approaching the end of their careers - this is not a system that allows football to develop. China made the same mistake earlier," said A. Čeferin.
