The Saudi League is currently starting to think about the quality of players so they are not only recruiting senior players from the European League who want to retire but they are starting to dare to recruit young players as long as the player wants to have a career in the Saudi League without any element of coercion.
Al Ittihad does have its own way to persuade the players they want, initially Moussa Diaby refused to play in the Saudi League but after making several attempts the player finally gave in and he will continue his career in the SPL with Benzema.

With this Al Ittihad will be more confident in competing with Al Nassr and Al Hilal, I am sure the overhaul of players and new coaches will have a positive impact on Al Ittihad next season.

Indeed, news about De Bruyne who is rumored to be moving to Ittihad has always been there and of course now it is clear that De Bruyne will not compete in the SPL and of course money is not everything and Manchester City certainly still needs a De Bruyne figure because of course De Bruyne's performance is still good and of course Pep also doesn't want to lose De Bruyne.

I agree with you that the right step for Ittihad is to try again in the next transfer market and I am sure that if De Bruyne's contract expires at Manchester City then of course Ittihad can try again to get him. But of course we won't know whether De Bruyne will extend his contract at Manchester City or not after his contract expires. Yes, but what is clear is that one day the decision will be in De Bruyne's hands. but yes, of course, if for example De Bruyne wants a lot of money before retiring then I think it would be a good thing for De Bruyne to have a career in the SPL.

However, if you see De Bruyne rejecting a fantastic salary offer from Ittihad, it shows that De Bruyne is not lured by money and he seems to enjoy a career in the Premier League more and of course there is no certainty in the next transfer market that he will have a career in the SPL.

I know the issue that Laporte may leave Al Nassr because there are 2 Spanish teams interested to sign him. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are 2 teams from Spain linked with Laporte. It is reported that one of the teams already made an offer $14m for Laporte. I know it is a small money for Al Nassr, but it is not impossible for the departure of Laporte if he really wants to leave the club. However, it won't be easy, I am so sure that Al Nassr will try to reject every offer for Laporte. Even it is Real Madrid, they will have no consideration to make a deal because Laporte is the main defender of Al Nassr. On the other hand, Real Madrid also only made an offer with rather small transfer fees for Laporte. Personally, I think Laporte will stay in Al Nassr until his contract ends.

Yeah I also heard this news and I am sure there will be no agreement between Real Madrid and Al-Nassr because Al-Nassr wants to release this player for a fee of 27 million while Real Madrid want to bring him in for free  Of course Real Madrid don't want to spend 27 million on a player who is already 30 years old so from here we can guess that there will be no agreement between the two parties. Aymeric Laporte must complete the remainder of his contract until 2026 or we can say he will end his career after the contract ends, I mean it will be difficult for him to find a new club when he is 32 years old.

Aymeric Laporte the player of Al Nassr was recently about to leave this league and start playing for the top European teams again. He joined Al Nassr the last summer and he had a good performance and helped Al Nassr and his good form he made Real Madrid to send him an offer.
Since Aymeric Laporte is under contract with Al Nassr for two more years Al Nassr rejected the offer and they asked for too much about to let Aymeric Laporte leave.

The funny thing about this is that Al Nassr played against a weak team in the Portuguese league, a team that was relegated in the Portuguese league last season and even so Al Nassr failed to score at least 1 goal. This shows how Al Nassr is not a strong team because even if this is a friendly match, they should be able to win without much difficulty, a big problem I see in these friendly matches

is that some teams are playing games while their best players are on vacation. This prevents the coach from obtaining good data in friendly matches, because

when he plays with a certain formation and players in a friendly match and has excellent results, in the next friendly match he puts other players in and has good results, but when the serious matches start and the players who were on vacation appear, it becomes complicated for the coach

I'm talking about this because a few years ago when Ronaldo was at Manchester United, the Manchester United coach complained about this because Ronaldo didn't play in the friendly matches. And now Ronaldo is on vacation while Al Nassr is playing friendly matches, I see this as being unproductive. It would have been better if Al Nassr didn't play any friendly matches because they know they don't have all the best players.



I see the porto winning

Kevin De Bruyne had many big considerations in mind in Al Ittihad's interest in him. One of them is a family problem that makes Kevin want to stay in the Premier League with Manchester City. But there is a big possibility that this season will be his last season with City considering that his contract will end this season. Regarding the salary offered, of course it is very tempting because it is quite large, but yes, this season may not be the right time for Kevin to go to the Saudi Arabian league.
After saying that he would stay with Manchester City, of course the fans were very happy because Kevin was a captain and also quite an influential player on the field.
Al Ittihad can get Kevin's signature if they have to be patient for one more season because he has stated that he will play in the Saudi Arabian league before he decides to retire. Also next season Al Ittihad will not need to spend money if there is no new contract extension offered by City for Kevin.

It is very possible that after his contract ends with Man City, De Bruyne will join one of the Saudi Pro League clubs, of course the encouragement attractive main incentive is the fantastic salary offer. De Bruyne decision to stay at the Etihad was reportedly influenced by his family, currently his children and wife are not ready to move to Saudi. Then, Pep Guardiola also firmly said that De Bruyne was not going anywhere, he was an important part of Man City campaign next season. Exactly as you said, all the rumors have now been refuted, and for one more season we will see De Bruyne in the Man City uniform.

The alternative solution taken by Al Ittihad after failing to get De Bruyne was to recruit Moussa Diaby from Aston Villa. I think this is a very good deal for Al Ittihad because Moussa Diaby is still very young, although on the other hand the player is considered to be taking the step too early by moving from the Premier League. Again, all this happened due to the lure of high salaries and various other luxurious facilities offered by Al Ittihad. Thus, it looks like Al Ittihad will be able to compete at the top of the standings next season after going through a bad season previously.

The eyes of football fans around the world might soon shift to focus more on the progress of the Saudi Pro League, given the notable famous players plying their trade there. The enhanced competition coupled with the star-studded lineups guarantees that the upcoming season in 2024/25 will go down as one of the most thrilling in the annals of Saudi Pro League history. A promising future awaits: evolve, interest, generations.

The quest for dominance will see Al Ittihad, Al Nassr, and Al Hilal, among other teams, employing smart transfer tactics alongside colossal aspirations. The adaptation and influence of players such as Moussa Diaby, Nacho, and Aubameyang in this progressively fierce competition will indeed be fascinating to observe.

Fabrizio Romano is one of the solid and legit source in the system. In the world of football, I consider and rate him to be the number sport journalist. When it comes to football transfer news in Europe, I always rush to his Instagram page because he's the spectacular one that have kept me updated with football transfers. Concenring the Kelvin De Bruyne deal with the SPL sides, it's rumour and nothing like exciting news about this, although most football lovers would belive this rumor that spreads really fast.

Al Ittihad made a very good transfer. Diaby is a young player, only 25 years old. The future is bright, which shows that players do not go to Saudi Arabia just to retire anymore. They also started to bring young players to their teams. The quality of the league had already started to increase after the star transfers. We see that the quality has increased and continues with the Diaby transfer. He would make a good duo with Benzema. Good luck Diaby!

All the rumors that said De Bruyne was going to the SPL have actually been refuted after Pep Guardiola confirmed that De Bruyne is still part of the Manchester City squad next season, so I think it might be better not to associate De Bruyne at this time with Arab clubs again, apart from that Al Ittihad is reportedly the team with the most ambition to get De Bruyne, but haven't they now got Moussa Diaby from Aston Villa so their plans to recruit De Bruyne have changed because Moussa Diaby has the same position with De Bruyne as an attacking midfielder, the only one the SPL club hope is to wait for De Bruyne contract to expire at Manchester City in the summer of 2025 later and get him with free.

although he has one season remaining contract with Manchester City, De Bruyne still has to honor that contract regardless of his desire to leave at this time, but if he still stays at City next season then it is very likely that in the future the SPL clubs will be able to get De Bruyne for free, because in my opinion, if  he wants to leavs of course that will make his refuse a new contract extension, so that it will be easier for De Bruyne to leave for the club he wants because he  in position free transfer next summer.

Congratulations to Al-Ittihad and congratulations to Moussa Diaby.
Players under the age of 30 who are still being targeted by clubs from the Saudi Pro League in the transfer market will continue to be sought by them so that for the next few seasons the Saudi Pro League will still be a league where we will see quality players with varying ages.
Now, the Al Ittihad squad already has Kante, Fabinho, Aouar, Benzema, Jota, Luiz Felipe including Moussa Diaby.

Firstly, De Bruyne has a contract with City until 2025, so he couldn’t just leave for another team now. And perhaps when De Bruyne wrote about a possible transfer, he meant that it might happen sometime in the future, but not necessarily right now. Kevin's last season at City may not have been the most successful, but he remains a key player in Guardiola's team. He had injuries, surgery and a rather long recovery period, this is also something to take into account. Now De Bruyne is in great shape and can have a great season, so there is no point in letting such a player go.

Portimonense 1-0 Al-Nassr

In Club frinedlies matches, Today ,we saw  football match between Portimonense and Al-Nassr football teams. Al-Nassr team played very bad in this match and could not do single goal in this match and lose the match by 1-0 goals. The players of Portimonense team gave their hundred percent to win this match and they became successful in their mission because they won the match by doing only one goal in this match because opponent team could not do one goal in the whole match and they were possessive. The stat of Portimonense team is excellent and they are properly prepared and they will get success in future and they will definitely win any of the tournaments because that team is hard working and all players are working on their weaknesses.

In this way, the rumors currently circulating are refuted and we will still see Kevin de Bruyne in the Manchester City uniform. I think that kind of assertiveness must be possessed by coaches or management. When rumors come and they have no intention of selling the player, they can confirm the player's future. So that also provides certainty for teams who are interested in them and can divert their attention to the players they will target next.
Al Ittihad must look for other options to bring in players who will make a big contribution to the team. The reason is that they still have many shortcomings that they must immediately fix to navigate the next season. They will have to move quickly as the days tick by which will lead to the close of the transfer window. They can approach many players, especially when they have the money to convince these players.

I think so too. That Al-ittihad just has to try again next season. Because this season, Man City will definitely not be willing to lose the player who contributed the most to their team last season. De Bruyne is also still in his best performance even after suffering a serious injury. He is still extraordinary and his position will still be difficult to replace. Maybe there are quite a lot of great young midfielders but I still don't think anyone can match De Bruyne's level at the moment. So maintaining him next season or in the next few seasons is likely to be a step taken by Man City. Although until now the future of De Bruyne's contract there is still unclear. Whether there will be an extension or not, we still don't have any information about this. But at least De Bruyne looks like he will finish his contract there first, namely until 2025.

This is a good thing that Ittihad has done and I think bringing in Diaby is a good thing and of course if it competes next season, Ittihad will definitely have a good squad. Yes, it is rare for young players to want to have a career in the SPL because usually players who are no longer young and who will soon retire from the world of football want to join the SPL.

Yes, he is very lucky because Diaby is at a top club that already win the 2022-2023 season, but of course I think Diaby will need to struggle to be able to adapt to Ittihad, but yes, of course if he wants to join Ittihad, of course he will be able to. adapted well but of course now he can enjoy his match with Benzema and of course this is an extraordinary experience for Diaby.

Diaby, who has had a career in the Premier League as a striker, of course this will definitely make Ittihad in terms of attack even better and of course Ittihad is really ready to compete in the SPL next season and of course Ittihad will appear confident to fight for the SPL title next season and it looks like In the next season, Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal will certainly not be easy to compete with Ittihad.

Pep Guardiola said it loudly because his players are always linked by rumors with Saudi pro league teams and I think his decision is very right to provide clear confirmation that his players will not be touched for now. On the other hand, we know that De Bruyne is still at the peak of his form and it would be a shame if he went to the Saudi pro league this summer.

Other news is that De Bruyne has also rejected a salary offer of £1m per week from Al-Ittihad and if we multiply this by one year then De Bruyne will earn £52m. We can see that that much money will not change De Bruyne's perception of leaving Manchester City and I think Al-Ittihad should try again in the next transfer market because it is clear that this time De Bruyne is not going anywhere.

Al Ittihad continues to try to strengthen their squad in order to compete next season, currently Al Ittihad have only brought in one player but reportedly Moussa Diaby is not the last player they will recruit, Moussa Diaby has impressive statistics with Aston Villa so far and he continues to be able to make a contribution which is very big for all of Aston Villa achievements last season to penetrate the Champions League next season, it is reported that currently Aston Villa is actually using the money from the current sale of Moussa Diaby to get Joao Felix, whose price is cheaper than Moussa Diaby, all this time we have always thought that the Arab League has become the goal of old footballers, but now the Arab League is starting to attract the attention of young players, it is recorded that currently many star and young players have joined Arab clubs, I think the main factor in the current move of European players to the Arab League is still money regardless of their age whether young or old.
