Jesse Lingard Offers Himself to Saudi Arabia: “Exciting Things Are Happening There”
London – English former national team player Jesse Lingard, who is currently without a club, appears to be hopeful for a lucrative contract in Saudi Arabia.[expander_maker id=”1″ ]
“It’s something I would consider. I wouldn’t rule it out,” said the 30-year-old in an interview with Sky Sports, expressing enthusiasm for the developments in the desert state. “Exciting things are happening there in the coming years. It’s going to be one of the hot spots. I’m not really surprised that big players have gone there.” Lingard’s contract with Nottingham Forest was not renewed after a disappointing season. He last played for England in 2021.
Saudi Arabia is making significant investments in league football through funds from the Public Investment Fund (PIF). In the past winter, Cristiano Ronaldo was signed, and in recent weeks, stars such as Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kanté, Ruben Neves, and Kalidou Koulibaly have followed suit. The short-term goal is to generate a high level of attention, with the ultimate aim likely being the hosting of a future World Cup.[/expander_maker]
