The Liverpool manager, Jürgen Klopp, said that Saudi Arabia’s transfer window closing almost three weeks later than those in Europe is “not helpful” after three of his players left for the country this summer.
On Monday night Fabinho joined Jordan Henderson in heading to Saudi Arabia as he signed for Al-Ittihad. Roberto Firmino joined Al Alhi earlier this summer after his Liverpool contract expired.
The increase in spending by Saudi clubs has dominated the summer transfer window. “I think pretty much the worst thing is that the transfer window in Saudi Arabia is three weeks longer ope,” said Klopp. “If I’m right, I heard something like that, than at least in Europe. That’s not helpful. So there must be, Uefa, Fifa must find solutions for that.”
