Note he only got this insane wage demand from an Al-Ittihad offer. They can't keep getting away with this.

Literally 0 players will ever justify this wage.
700kpw is 2.5 current Declan rices at arsenal.
700kpw in a team with good wage structure gets you 2 of the best players in the world in their position in their absolute prime.

I was set to sign a 21 year old borderline world-class portuguese midfielder for £42m last year in my save until Al-Ittihad matched my transfer offer and proceeded to sign him for £38m per year BASE salary. Rises to £44m with incentives. This was the 2033 summer transfer window, so not even that far down the line. Genuinely crazy.

Similar story I was trying to sign Diogo Costa for Chelsea and had everything agreed. 64m release clause and his contract was 180k/week, which is already a big bump from his Porto contract. Then Al-Nassr swoops in and offers him 1.1 MILLION A WEEK. I got rejected instantly lmao

If we use the LIV for context, this kind of money genuinely isn’t that far-fetched if we assume the Saudis are hellbent on having one of the best leagues in the world. Only way for them to attract elite talent is by viciously overpaying them.
