We all know that in world football the biggest clubs are being bought out by whats called Saudi Money. This increase in Saudi Money helps clubs get the best players in the world and make their club the best of all time. We have already seen this in real life with clubs as notable as PSG and Manchester City being bought out by Saudi Arabian oil tycoon owners. In this article we will take a deeper dive into the budget increase in PRL and what it means for teams moving forward. We will also take a look at real life examples and explaining of Saudi Money helping real life clubs reach their full potential.
What even is "Saudi Money"?
Saudi Money is the term that the footballing world uses to describe owners of clubs and money being put into the clubs. This can differentiate from the actual Saudi Pro League as even though the teams owners are all Saudi Arabian they don't get the elite players that other clubs do. The notable teams that are in the Saudi Pro League and have "Saudi Money" is Al Nassr and Al Hilal both buying some of the biggest players world football knows. This Saudi Money does stretch out of the middle east as teams like Manchester City and Paris Saint German have some of the best players the world knows but being owned by Saudi Arabian oil owners Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan is the owner of Manchester City just to name one. Saudi Money may be ruining the game but it is not ruining the footballing economy. The football economy ever since Saudi Money was a thing has been in a increase with the biggest names going to the biggest clubs which boosted the economy.

Budget Increase for teams, What this can mean.
The opportunities that each team now has has sky rocketed. With the budget Increase teams can get more players, add depth to the team, and get the players they need with the amount of money. The increase was justified because "Some teams would not be able to make any new signings in the League" said Restarted Ryan the owner of PRL. Teams can now finally make the signings they need to compete in competitions and making games more interesting in fun. Overall I think the increase is much better for the league for the teams that aren't as good but for the teams that are already work we may have super teams which could ruin the fun of the game.
