A Manchester United star has now broken his silence on reports linking him with a shock move to Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi spending spree on big-name players looks to be expected to continue in the January transfer window, with several stars from Europe's elite reportedly on the radar.

Among them is United captain Bruno Fernandes, with it recently reported that his agent had talks with an unnamed Saudi club earlier this month to discuss the possibility of the attacking midfielder leaving Old Trafford in favour of a huge contract in the Gulf state.
With a number of his Portugal teammates having already made the move to the Saudi Pro League, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Otavio and Ruben Neves, the Red Devils skipper has now broken his silence on the rumours.
Fernandes told Sport TV: "I'm focusing on the national team and United. I'm happy where I am.
"In the national team, we had some very good times. At Manchester United, we didn't start the way we wanted. I don't look at rumours.
"I don't pay attention to them. Today, it's very easy to spread rumours in the press. I prefer to concentrate on my goals."
The 29-year-old also admitted that he would like one of his current national team colleagues, Joao Neves (19), to join him in Manchester, amid reports linking the young midfielder as a replacement for Casemiro in January 2024.
Asked about United's interest in the Benfica teenager, Fernandes added: "It has to be the Man United coach who says whether he has a place or not.
"He's a great player, I don't know if he would have a place or not. It depends on the coach and his ideas.
"But he's an excellent player and an excellent kid, very professional, he will have a bright future wherever he goes.
"I would love to have him by my side. Because he has quality and will have a bright future. It depends on him. What I want most is the best for him."
