However, in July 2023, after 12 years at Liverpool, Henderson left for Al-Ettifaq, a club from the Pro League in Saudi Arabia, where same-sex relationships are criminalized.

Key Points:

However, in July 2023, after 12 years at Liverpool, Henderson left for Al-Ettifaq, a club from the Pro League in Saudi Arabia, where same-sex relationships are criminalized.
Henderson’s weekly wage at Al-Ettifaq is reportedly US$900,000 — triple what he earned at Liverpool, the world’s fourth richest club.
Some of football’s biggest names now call the Saudi Pro League home.
But Messi will still earn US$25 million over the next three years as a tourism ambassador for Saudi Arabia.

Money outpacing morality

A super-rich newcomer is buying influence in a game whose profit-driven stakeholders, like FIFA, have faced repeated corruption scandals.
But it’s the logical next step for a sport where money has outpaced morality.
It’s pouring money into boxing, Formula 1 racing, golf and football.
Money talks, and sportswashing often works.

A league that’s here to stay?

There is a neo-colonial element to the dismissal of Saudi ambitions that reflects Europe’s long dominance of world football.
Football is highly popular in Saudi Arabia and much of the Middle East, so why can’t a league there rival the English Premier League or Spain’s La Liga?
Saudi Arabia wouldn’t be the first place where an authoritarian government has enriched domestic competition with overseas talent.
The problem with the Saudi league isn’t the league alone, or the unpleasant regime that bankrolls it.
There’s a history of upstart competitions briefly challenging football’s status quo, from Colombia’s El Dorado league in the late 1940s to the Chinese Super League.
