Riyadh Crescent will set off a new round of signings, signing Special Olympics for 25 million euros is just the beginning

Under the leadership of the new coach Inzaghi, Riyadh Crescent eliminated Manchester City 4-3 in the 8th-finals of the Club World Cup. Although he lost to Fruminense later, he still caused an Asian whirlwind in the Club World Cup. Riyadh Crescent's ability to achieve such a result in the Club World Cup is inseparable from their investment in the transfer market in the past two years. The success of the Club World Cup will prompt Riyadh Crescent to set off another frenzy in the transfer market. Their signing of Special Olympics from AC Milan for 25 million euros is just the beginning.

Riyadh Crescent signed Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain for 90 million euros in August 2023. Although their transaction was almost completely wasted due to Neymar's accidental injury, Neymar also left the team freely after negotiating with the team in January 2025. But for Riyadh Crescent, Neymar's joining helped them greatly enhance their popularity and influence in the world football world, and this transaction played a role in "buying bones with a thousand gold coins" to a certain extent.

Also joining the Riyadh Crescent in the same year as Neymar include Mitrovic, Malcolm, Milinkovic, Ruben Neves, Kulibali and Bunu. Leonardo, Lodi and Cancelo also joined in the second year. Riyadh Crescent has also become the team with the highest recruitment investment in the Saudi league and the highest total value of players. However, Riyadh Crescent lost to Jeddah Nationals in the semi-finals of the AFC Elite League last season, and also lost to Jeddah United in the domestic league, missing the championship. Head coach Joe Jesus was also fired by the team after the end of last season.

In order to prepare for the Club World Cup, Riyadh Crescent poached the champion coach Inzaghi from Inter Milan with a sky-high annual salary of 50 million euros for two years. The latter did not disappoint everyone's expectations and led Riyadh Crescent to a sharp appearance in the Club World Cup. Whether it was a draw with Real Madrid or an elimination of Manchester City, it was an amazing victory for an Asian team. In comparison, Riyadh's $13 million bonus received by eliminating Manchester City in the new moon is not enough. After all, the team boss gave each player a full 450,000 euro bonus after the game, and the bonus including the head coach has exceeded the team's promotion bonus.

After the club World Cup was eliminated, Inzaji submitted a Club World Cup report to the club owner, which included the team's existing players' list of players and the requirements for signing. It is said that this list of purges includes Kulibali, Lodi, Cesar, Mitrovic and Malcolm, but the accuracy of the news is questionable. In the list of signings, Inzaghi Jr. mentioned at least five names, including Osmeen, Cialhanoglu, Bastoni, Teo and Archerby. They are all players who play in Serie A or have played in Serie A, three of whom are Inter Milan players. Among the five players, Bastoni has taken the lead in saying "NO" to the former coach. Out of respect for his former club, Inzaghi did not bother him after being rejected by Bastoni, but decided to choose a new goal. The first one who successfully signed the contract was the former Derby rival Teo. According to joint reports from Saudi media and Italian media, Riyadh Crescent has signed Teo from AC Milan for 25 million euros. He will form the left and right wings with Cancelo in the new season. It is no exaggeration to say that such a left and right wingback combination is definitely the level of the Champions League knockout team. After the O'O, the second person who may join the Riyadh Crescent is Inzaghi's former favorite player Archerbi. Although Archerbi is 37 years old, he is still the absolute main player of Inter last season, and he scored a key goal in Inter's elimination of Barcelona. Since Archerby's contract with Inter Milan is only one year left, and out of respect for the contribution of veterans, Inter Milan will not set too much obstacles for this transfer. It is estimated that only 5 million euros will allow Inter Milan to agree to release the person. Such a price is just a drizzle for the Riyadh Crescent.

Another Inter player who is likely to join Riyadh Crescent is the 31-year-old Turkish midfielder Cialhanoglu. Cialhanoglu came to Inter almost at the same time as Inzagji, and it was under Inzagji that he was transformed from a first-class front midfielder to a first-class midfielder and became one of the top midfielders in football. Originally, Inter Milan could not let Calhanoglu leave, but after being criticized by Lautaro and Marotta recently, leaving the team has become inevitable. The 30 million euro transfer fee that Galatasaray cannot give is no problem for Riyadh Crescent, so as long as Calhanoglu himself is willing, he will soon be able to reunite with the former coach. Inzaghi Jr.'s signing list is the highest value in Naples' Osmeen, the 26-year-old Nigerian striker is currently worth 70 million euros. Due to a fall in love with the club, Osmayen was loaned to Galatasaray last season. He was like a dimensional reduction blow in the Turkish Premier League, contributing 36 goals and 7 assists in 41 games, not only helping the team win the league championship, but also winning the Turkish Premier League Golden Boot. Naples boss De Laurentis has made it clear that if any team wants to take Osmaine away, they must pay a full 75 million euro termination fee, which is not enough to lose a penny.

This offer plus the player's annual salary of more than 12 million euros has scared away giants such as Manchester United and Juventus. Now only Galatasaray and Riyadh Crescent are still negotiating with Naples. If Naples and Osmeon are unwilling to lower their respective requirements for transfer fees and annual salary, then only Riyadh Crescent is able to meet these two major requirements at the same time. It is reported that Riyadh Crescent has started negotiations with Naples and provided Osmeon with a four-year contract with an annual salary of US$40 million..

After signing Teo, if Riyadh Crescent can sign Osmeen, Cialhanoglu and Archerbi again, even if Kulibali, Lodi, Cesar, Mitrovic and Malcolm all leave the team, then Inzaghi can still line up the starting lineup of 9 foreign players, goalkeeper Bunu, central defender Archerbie and two central defenders, left wing guard Teo, right wing guard Cancelo, midfielder Cialhanoglu, Milinkovic and Ruben Neves, forward Osmeen and Leonardo's luxury lineup. Such a starting lineup has a place in Asia, not to mention in Asia, even in the five major leagues and the Champions League.

, coupled with Ronaldo's contract renewal of Riyadh, the Saudi League in the new season will surely cause a huge storm again, and the World's Fifth League is becoming possible step by step.
