Meh, no different from any of those players back when going to play in China or Asia (Del Piero, any number of Brazilians), or even MLS (Beckham, Rooney) as opposed to a part time player or on a ####e club.
Saudi's just have more money to play with, and see throwing it around on sport (see Golf, LIV) as the latest and greatest bang for the buck for getting worldwide notoriety.
