Breaking news, the $125 million star to join Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia

While the summer transfer window is still a long time away, clubs are already starting talks and negotiations to sign top players to help them improve their teams for next season. The chiefs know that there is no time to waste and so they are making medium and long-term plans.

As was the case before the start of the current season, one threat to European clubs will be the Pro League. The Saudi Arabian tournament is the one that has grown the most in the world over the last few months, ever since Cristiano Ronaldo accepted Al-Nassr's multi-million dollar offer. Then many other stars such as Neymar, Sadio Mane, Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kanté, Riyad Mahrez and Roberto Firmino did the same.

And that is likely to continue to happen in the future. In fact, Mohamed Salah is rumored to leave Liverpool at the end of the season and become one of the stars at Al-Ittihad, alongside Benzema. And he will not be the only one.

According to Italian journalist Fabio Santini, Romelu Lukaku will be the next star to leave Europe to start his path in the Pro League. "A return with Juventus is unlikely, as he has accepted an offer from Saudi Arabia. I tell AS Roma fans that at the end of the year one thing is certain: Romelu will leave," Santini assured and shocked everyone in Italy.

It will be a problem for Jose Mourinho

If Santini's information is confirmed, AS Roma will lose one of its most important players. Lukaku joined the club this summer, on loan from Chelsea. The Blues paid $125 million for him just two seasons ago, but his performances were disappointing and that is why coach Mauricio Pochettino did not consider him for his new team. However, in Italy he is showing a good level: he has scored 11 goals in 18 games.
