Saudi Arabia without brakes: after Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and maybe even Massimiliano Allegri, they are now “buying” referees too
No brakes. But you know: when there are financial possibilities that go beyond the limit, then everything is accelerated, even what seems like something that doesn’t matter. After Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema, Saudi Arabia has now set its sights on coaches.
Yes, because today news has come out about a possible arrival in those parts of Massimiliano Allegri: the Juventus coach would have received an offer from an Arab club with a contract that should be around 30 million euros per year. Figures that the Tuscan coach knows very well that he could never earn in Europe. So in the next few hours a summit in Monte Carlo is in sight. And this could totally change the cards on the table. Is that all? Not at all. The bombshell was dropped by La Repubblica this morning, which explained that in those parts they are not only targeting the protagonists of the game of football, but also the referees. In particular one: the one at tonight’s final between Manchester City and Inter Milan.
Saudi Arabia, in the crosshairs now is Marciniak
Let’s talk about Marciniak, the Pole who could be in his last big European game as a whistle blower. Tonight as mentioned it will be him on the pitch in Istanbul, and it could not be otherwise as he is considered one of the strongest in the Planet at the moment. If not the strongest.
Marciniak, he is the referee of tonight’s final (Lapresse)
Good: The Polish whistle blower, at the centre of a case on the eve of the Champions League final in Istanbul for his participation in an unsavoury and racist event (he immediately apologised, explaining that he had no knowledge of the matter), has reportedly received a 1.5 million season proposal from bin Salman to work in the Saudi league. The aim is to create a movement on a par with the champions who fill the tournament, from Ronaldo to Benzema then, via Allegri and perhaps even Mourinho. In short, they really have no intention of stopping there. But we were saying: when you have money you can really afford anything. Even catching referees.
