Mohamed Salah transfer to Saudi Arabia from Liverpool: Sports lawyer Daniel Geey speaks on the impact of the Saudi Pro League during the summer
After the deadline of September 7 passed there was likely a collective sigh of relief among many clubs, Liverpool among them.
Liverpool’s chances of getting back into the lucrative Champions League next season are vastly improved with Salah in the side, while having no chance to replace such an important player meant that it wasn’t something that the club would consider.READ MORE: Gary Neville may regret Liverpool claim as Man United comments begin to backfire
“In the next Champions League cycle it is going to be more lucrative, there is going to be more games, there is going to be more variety of games through the new Swiss Model.” The argument has been made that it has been a destabilising window that has driven up transfer prices, although Geey believes that the arrival of Saudi has allowed clubs to reinvest in new talent by selling peak, or just past peak players for strong fees.
“I still think that if clubs really didn’t want to let those players go then they wouldn’t have gone. That’s what happened with Salah. At this time, in this particular place, Salah was seen as indispensable to Liverpool and that’s why he didn’t leave. Before the plan for the Saudi Pro League there have been other attempts to spend big sums to sign elite players in other leagues, such as China and India. Neither plan has worked out, with the economic struggles faced by China seeing them row back almost completely on their plan to make the Chinese Super League a power on the global stage.
