If players are making huge money through outrageous transfer deals, why wouldn't a referee also follow that path.
It is one of the biggest transfers in recent Premier League history… and it doesn't even involve a footballer.
Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg is to quit to take up a role in Saudi Arabia.
Clattenburg has previously spoken about a move to China , while a switch to the MLS has also been mooted. But the 41-year-old will now turn his back on English football to take up a role as Head of Referees on a rolling one-year contract.
His decision has stunned the Premier League with Clattenburg quitting before the next round of fixtures.
"The PGMOL would like to wish Mark Clattenburg well as he prepares for his move to the Saudi Arabian Football Federation," a statement read.
