Western media: Alibaba paid nearly 28 million euros to play in Saudi Arabia, and Real Madrid had 50% of the transfer share

According to the Spanish "Almeria Daily" report, Real Madrid's former player Arribas was close to playing in Saudi Arabia this summer, but in the end he did not make the trip.

Alibaba currently plays for Almeria. This summer, Jeddah National offered 28 million euros for Alibaba and offered a 4-5-year contract with an annual salary of 10 million euros. However, the deal fell through as Jeddah National signed a higher priority option.

Aribas will join Almeria from Real Madrid in the summer of 2023. Real Madrid will have 50% of the future transfer share. In other words, if Alibaba transfers for 28 million euros, Real Madrid will receive 14 million euros.
