Nasser al-Khelaifi said he ‘does not see’ a pathway for clubs from the big-spending Saudi Pro League to compete in the Champions League
of the Saudi Pro League have brought suggestions that a place for its champions will be sought in Europe’s leading competition, which will expand next season to a new “Swiss system” of 36 clubs. Executives from its leading sides are reportedly keen to test the proposition but the influential Khelaifi, who is also the president of Paris St-Germain, emphasised no such move is on the horizon.
“Clubs are investing a lot in players and infrastructure, we deserve also to have good competition like the Club World Cup. This is amazing, it will be huge. I am a big supporter of the Club World Cup, as are other clubs.”
