Atletico Madrid coach Simeone: SPL spending a big danger

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone admits the spending of the Saudi Pro League is a danger to his squad planning.

The Saudi Arabian transfer window won't close until September 20, with Spain's closing on August 31.

Simeone said: "We have been talking with Andrea (Berta) and Miguel (Ángel Gil) quite a lot lately about what can and cannot happen.

"The Arabia thing lasts two more weeks and the greatest danger is not the European market, but the people who come with money and within two weeks possibly a player will take you out..."
