Fernando Hierro, the sports director of Al-Nassr, praised the strength of the Saudi Roshan League, confirming that the competition is developing and will produce talents for Europe in the future.

Hierro said during his speech at the Sports Investment Forum in the capital Riyadh: "The Saudi league calls on the whole world to come to the Kingdom to watch all players, including the Saudi ones."

He added: "In fact, I am surprised by the extent of the positive rapid development, and hosting the World Cup in the Kingdom after years will be something special."

He continued: "The Saudi league is strong and has gained momentum in terms of broadcasting and investment in just two years, and it needs more time; it is important for me that it continues on this path."

He further stated: "We have young players like Duran and other professionals, and this is important for investment through several aspects, including selling them in the future. It is true that the Saudi league is buying players, but in the future, it will be a source, which will raise the value of the clubs."

He clarified: "We have the ability to bring young players before they go to Europe, as they have come to realize the strength of the Saudi league from all aspects."

He concluded: "The project is still in its early stages and is developing, and the infrastructure is important for attracting young players."
