MLS vs Saudi Pro League? Garber says the point is expansion of the game beyond Europe
July 19 – Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber insists the rise of the cash-rich Saudi Pro League won’t threaten the MLS’s potential expansion into emerging viewing markets.
The Saudis have lured the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in recent months and has been flexing its financial muscle in an attempt to grow the game. In recent days, former Liverpool star Roberto Firmino has also jumped on the Saudi train with a free transfer to Al-Ahli but Garber says all the global attention doesn’t concern him.
