@Saudifutbol From what I've read, big-time players aren't too thrilled about playing (and living) in Tabuk, a nice little town in itself, but not at the level of Riyadh, Jeddah or even Dammam... Until (if?) NEOM City project takes off, NEOM club will have to overpay to get elite talent there.
@Saudifutbol@FabrizioRomano I see this as a N'Golo Kantรฉ-to-Al Ittihad kind of deal, bringing defensive stability and tons of experience to a new, ambitious project... Good signing by Al-Diriyah!
@Saudifutbol NEOM is a tough sell right now, with the football project linked to the overall project and the overall project moving slower than anticipated.
Diriyah, being on Riyadh's outskirts and with its historical relevance to the Royal Family, feels more like a now-project.
