AS Roma striker Paulo Dybala has praised the Saudi Pro League pointing out to its impressive growth in recent years.
The SPL managed to attract several high profile footballers such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and Karim Benzema among others.
Dybala himself has been linked with a potential move to the Saudi League, and has commented on these rumors during a lenghty interview with the London-based pan-Arab “Al Arabi Al Jadeed" outlet.
“The growth of the Arab League in the last two years has been incredible, both in terms of players and clubs, but also in terms of the quality of the game," the Argentine said.
"I watched several matches on TV, and I was impressed both by the level of play and the passion of the fans, with stadiums always full. Football is really loved by the younger generations.
"Many of my Argentine teammates play there, and they often speak highly of it. Playing the Super Cup in Saudi Arabia (in 2019) was clearly a new experience for me.
"I had never been to Saudi Arabia, and it was a very positive experience. I was already struck by the fans’ passion for football and their dedication to the sport. But at the moment I play for Roma, and I imagine myself at Roma.
"The Saudi league is certainly one of the most important, together with MLS and European leagues.”
