Indeed had consistency performance in domestic league I believe with Al Hilal keep active for signing new players next season, they won domestic league, Saudi Super Cup and King's Cup trophies in this season exactly unbeaten in domestic league keep sign new players exactly from European continent.
Currently Al Hilal spend much money for payment salary exactly Neymar as most expensive players, but in this season not contribution yet after long term injury and absent almost one season with Al Hilal. Bit difficult how to manage much salary payment have to pay by Al Hilal next season if keep sign top European players.

They are planning on spending a billion or so this season as well, obviously not just one team but more like all teams combined, which I think should make it possible for them get some more famous players. I think they are not going to keep it going, but a few billion a year cost until the world cup at Saudi Arabia, means that they are not going to really spend that much.

Look at Qatar, those dudes spent 200 billion and still had the worst world cup in history, that was a bad marketing move, they lost money AND respect, Qatar was seen as a much better nation before the world cup than what they are considered now. So, Saudis saw this and want to make it perfectly clear that they are going to be quite strong, and making football fame in their own nation will make it better.

I do, why not? I remember that several names have been linked to the al hilal since last season.

- Bruno fernandes
- Adam marusic
Many more. Even though al hilal were winning two trophies + invicible winner in saudi pro league. The club needs always to strngthen its squad.

Let's see what's gonna be prepared by al hilal's coach soon. Im still believing that if al hilal is preparing something big to come soon. The club must have done something to increase its capability to defend its trophy.

Al hilal will not be missing an opportunity for this.

Al Hillal this season managed to dominate the Arab League with their ability to win the Arab League this season undefeated certainly surprised us all, most of the players who fill the al hillal lineup are of course dominated by many local players this season but they are still able to compete with the team team that contains luxury players, indeed Al Hillal has Neymar as the most expensive player in their squad this season but Neymar is only able to contribute to Al Hillal only in 5 games before he finally suffered an injury that kept him out of action until the end of the season, although Al Hillal has been strong enough this season but still they still have to strengthen their squad next season to maintain their title status.

To be honest, for now, of course, Al Hillal is not a team that we need to pay attention to because they have quite capable abilities, but the question now is whether Al Nassr will be able to compete for the title next season?
Ronaldo of course feels disappointed with their achievement this season which is zero trophies, so indeed if there is no improvement in their squad next season, of course it is very likely that Ronaldo will leave because he is indeed a typical player who is indeed very thirsty for the trophy so far.

The final match between Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr was one match that was evenly contested as you can see the fierce struggle between the teams in the run up to this match. Al-Hilal of course the superior ones took the early lead and maintained it till almost the last minute then Al-Nassr was able to get themselves back on track and get a goal which ended the match at 90 minutes in a 1-1 draw.

 You can say Al-Nassr had the better of opportunity in that match as the defense of Al-Hilal already showed signs of them being tired especially after an incredible season, so that kind of performance to an extent was expected.Al-Nassr also missed Talisca who is a very good attacker and his presence would have greatly helped them attack this Al-Hilal defense fiercely. ⁠After this season, I think it will be safe to say Al-Nassr will be looking to build up their squad so as to avoid the close failed chances they have had this season.

 They have the needed strength financially to be able to empower their club and I believe they can make it happen and that being done, the club will be challenging for titles next season. The club will have to use this transfer window very critically as the fans will be watching eagerly to see how the performance of the team progresses in the new season and for an improved performance the club ought to make very good signings this summer transfer window.

The Saudi Pro League is a league that is not as big as the European Big League, but that does not mean that the Saudi League is a simple league because this league has very large finances and can easily recruit expensive players from the European League to improve the quality of their league and requires a lot of time a little bit so that the Saudi League can be like the European league by recruiting famous players. Over time, the Saudi League will become more and more famous and will be seen by many people from all over the world and eventually they will become a famous league like other European leagues.

Talking about Al Hilal, Al Nassr, Al Ahli and Al Ittihad, Indeed Saudi League this clubs that have good performance in the Saudi league and the best among them is Al Hilal who were able to collect perfect points by not achieving a single defeat in the Saudi League this season. Al Hilal is indeed performing very well and they really deserve to win the Saudi League title. Apart from Al Hilal, Al Nassr is also a club that has quite good performance but it is still not better than Al Hilal. Next season there will be competitive competition between the two in the title race. Let's see how Al Nassr can do it.

It appeared to me that al Nassr and al Hilal would be running SPL for some years considering they have been running to their peak performances, expect their formation will not be changed a lot. Im pretty sure al hilal and nassr will be competing again next season to get SPL trophy. I wasn't being gloomy about other clubs like al-Ahli and Ittihad, but Hilal and Nassr are at different levels. They were able to demonstrate highly consistent performance until the end of the season. Even Al Hilal has won two trophies this season.

I believe other clubs must have made significant improvements in order to prevent Al Hilal and Nassr from dominating the competition. It's clear from how al Nassr and al Hilal dominated the league this season.
The bad news is that Al Hilal continues to outperform Al Nassr this season in terms of performance and achievement.

The upcoming season will be even tougher than this time. It's obvious that if things have been changing so fast. Im not really sure if there will be another club to join in the title race next season. Al hilal may be able to conitnue its invicible season. It will be so crazy to see al hilal win two seasons with invicible results.

Do you think Al-Hilal will still buy new players this summer? Especially considering that they are dominating the Saudi League this season, they will definitely not be satisfied quickly and will continue to do their job well to remain consistent. Everything has been so easy for Al-Hilal this season, especially since they haven't suffered a single defeat, so they also have to start being wary of other teams next season.

Of course it will be quite difficult for Al-Hilal to do the same thing twice so they only need to defend the title and at the same time strengthen the lines they feel are lacking. I think Al-Hilal will spend hundreds of millions of euros on two or three more players and certainly can't wait to see Neymar's real debut during the season.

AL Nassr must be active in the transfer market this time, they must be able to bring in several more new players, to strengthen all lines so that the competition next season will be even tougher, AL Nassr must be able to get midfielder Casemiro and also Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson This will really help them next season.
Moreover, Kevin De Bruyne is very open if there is a good offer for him to leave Man City, Al Nassr must be able to take advantage of players like them to play in Saudi and strengthen the Al Nassr team to fight alongside Ronaldo next season.

No, look at how the match went, everything went very fiercely even though in the first half Al Hilal had the advantage by scoring one goal, but after that both of them played very hard in the attacking and defensive efforts of each team.
In the end the match ended in 1 - 1 draw and I admit that Al Hilal defense from the start was very strong and difficult to really penetrate to create opportunities for goals for Al Nassr, but when it started to enter the second half in the final minutes We can see that Al Hilal defense is starting to weaken little and Al Nassr has many gaps in its attack efforts.
In conditions like this, it is actually good opportunity for Al Nassr and if there is Talisca then I am much more confident that the possibility of victory for Al Nassr can be realized, but basically Al Nassr condition is very unfavorable in this final match because of the core players who is absent.

This season there were several opportunities for Al Nassr that were wasted in fighting for the title, but next season they should be able to perform much better and get revenge for this season failure.
There are several efforts they will make with the option of bringing in great players to help improve the quality of performance to be more optimal, hopefully this can actually happen and we can see it next season.

In fact, Al Nasr's only weakness this season is its defense, and the rest of the line can be said to be very good. So next season, Al Nasr actually doesn't need to spend too much money. Because of course Al Nasr only needs to bring in players who are very high quality and have positions in the defense line. But if, for example, Al Nasr wants to sharpen its attack line even more, I think that would be very good too. Because as we know, Al Nasr has a lot of money and of course it will be very easy to buy great players on the front lines. The reason is that next season Neymar will definitely return to playing with Al Hilal and of course Al Hilal will also continue to improve its performance. So it would be good for Al Nasr to really improve his team, if possible on all fronts. Because of course next season the competition with Al Hilal and other clubs in the Saudi Arabian League will definitely be even fiercer.

And regarding coaches, I think Castro is quite worthy of being retained by Al Nasr. The reason is that even though this season Castro has not been able to win a single trophy with Al Nasr. But I see Castro making clear and gradual progress with Al Nasr. For example, at the start of the season Al Nasr always lost badly to Al Hilal. However, towards the end of the season, Al Nasr made progress by being able to hold Al Hilal to a draw. Like in the Saudi Arabia King's Cup final and also in the SPL. In both matches, Al Nasr was able to hold Al Hilal to a draw and this was clear evidence that Castro's progress was really good with Al Nasr.

We all believe that Al Nassr has enough money to rebuild the squad. Al Nassr is one of the big clubs in Saudi, they are a rich club. However, not every top players can be signed by a big club like Al Nassr. It is not only about the money but it is also about the interest of the players. However, I trust Al Nassr that they have good scouts, they will try to buy some top players to strengthen their defense and midfield line. If there is no improvement on those lines, it will be difficult to compete with Al Hilal. No doubt Al Hilal has a very strong squad, they also can play very solid. So, new players and a new coach is a must for Al Nassr.

Not only you, everyone knows that Al Nassr defense is weak. They also don't have good midfielders. So, in the next transfer window, I am sure Al Nassr management will focus on signing some of defenders and midfielders. It is the only way to compete with Al Hilal, Al Hilal already has stronger players in the defense and midfield line.

I think it is a perfect suggestion. Casemiro and Nacho are great players, they will streghten the defense and midfield line. As a captain, Ronaldo is very aware that Al Nassr team has the weakness in the defense and midfield. Casemiro and Nacho are free agents, they must have a big chance to move to Al Nassr if Al Nassr wants to give good offers.

Anyway, De Bruyne is reported that he wants to move to Saudi league if there is an interesting offer. Al Nassr must try to sign this player because he will surely give a significant impact to Al Nassr team.

Al Nassr did not have any problem scoring goals throughout their entire season but they had problem with conceding goals therefore their defense has to be the most important part of the team they have to concentrate on. There are some defenders that are in Europe that will love to play in the Saudi pro league because of the money and environment that the Saudi government give to their foreign players. I think they should bid for players in the transfer window and they will get good options that can comfortably play in the league despite their age but they can use their experience to help defend for the team and help them to compete more against other teams and win more trophy. If they do not add to their defense, they will still be poor as they were in the just concluded season.

SPL is a challenging league and only the best come out with incredible results. The Knights of Najd will channel focus on bringing new players, atleast it will enchanced their ability to stand strong enough in the competitive title race for next season. Al Nassr weaknesses is entirely different from the rest. They reciprocate their actions in no lesser time and they've in possession top classic players. We're talking about players with experience and they're capable of winning major trophies but failed this season because their opponents was more than ready for them, I'm talking about Al Hilal.

Of course, Al-hilal will continue to hunt for more quality players in the transfer market this time. Even though this season Al-hilal looks very strong and the stability of their squad also looks very good. Where their attack, middle and back lines have also looked very good throughout the season. But Al-hilal may also realize that next season things could get even fiercer. And it is possible that Al-Nassr and other clubs will also bring in some great players from Europe who could make Al-Hilal overwhelmed in the coming season. So AL-hilal will definitely try to strengthen their squad again even though this season no one has been able to beat them. And it would be very scary if next season this club goes undefeated again. but I'm sure Al-Nassr next season will also be a more solid team. And that's why Al-Nassr is also currently hunting for midfielders and defenders. In the middle of last season we heard about a player from Atletico Madrid who was being approached by Al-Nassr but I haven't heard the latest news about his progress.

Al Nassr needs to recruit several players to fill the weaknesses in their team. Of course the first thing that management must pay attention to is the defense line because the defense line is their weak point this season. Even though they are relatively superior in attack because they have quite productive strikers, this does not make it easy for them to win the title because Al Hilal has better perfection compared to Al Nassr.

From several local articles that I read, Ronaldo is pressuring management to sign Casemiro and Nacho in this summer transfer window. I think if casemiro joins al nassr of course they will be stronger next season because casemiro is quite a quality player. Al Hilal is also the same, they will not remain silent in this summer transfer window because there are many rumors circulating that Al Hilal will recruit several well-known European players in this season transfer window.

It is true that Al-Nassr's weakness lies in their defense which is quite poor. When their attack line manages to score lots of goals, it will be useless if the back line also keeps conceding the ball. Al-Nassr is very productive and is the second team as the top scorer in the SPL. 1 goal different from Al-hilal who scored 101 goals this season. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr scored 100 goals.

So it is time for Al-nassr to focus more on hunting for defenders and midfielders who can cover their weaknesses. Last season, Al-Nassr managed to get a wing defender from Man United, namely Alex Telles. But that's not enough. And I think in this transfer market Al-Nassr will have to hunt for defenders again if they want to appear more balanced next season. For the front line, I think that's enough.

It's not as easy as you say, the proof is that Al Nassr has far more famous players than Al Hilal. Al Nassr has Ronaldo, Mane, Talisca, Brozovic, Aymeric Laporte, Alex Telles. However, they had difficulty overthrowing Al Hilal. In the Al Hilal camp, they don't have a player as well-known as Al Nassr. As for Neymar, he played a total of only 3 matches.  Based on my point of view, Al Hilal has very collective teamwork. Their midfielders are very reliable, especially when helping Mitrovic as Target Man. Apart from that, Michael, Malcom, Al Dawsari are also productive in terms of scoring goals. plus Al Hilal has a pivot duo who work together, whether when defending or building attacks. Apart from that, Al Hilal's architect, Jorge Jesus, was able to maximize every potential of his players.

Talking about Al Nassr, Luis Castro's team should be able to compete closely with Al Hilal. Unfortunately, at the start of the season, Al Nassr did not perform well. Maybe, they need adaptation because there are several new players who have been brought in. Apart from that, Luis Castro's duties next season must be further improved. especially, in several sectors. It seems that Al Nassr needs to bring in newcomers, namely midfielders and defenders. For the front line, Al Nassr has players who can be relied on. Apart from that, these two teams are still under the same company. So, the funds they get come from PIF. well, we'll see what Al Nassr will do to recruit new arrivals next season.

Before Ronaldo arrival to Al Nassr, of course, the Saudi Pro League had first brought in former European players, but at that time the Saudi Pro League was not as popular as it is today after the arrival of Ronaldo, Ronaldo arrival to Al Nassr certainly made people start to find out about Al Nassr so that it indirectly also lifted the popular of the Saudi Pro League and now the effect is that many fans and football players are starting to be interested in seeing and playing in Saudi Arabia Pro League, the popularity owned by Ronaldo makes Al Nassr have a huge advantage in sponsor and selling jerseys so that other teams in the Saudi Pro League are also interested in bringing in many European star players which finally makes the Saudi Pro League very competitive today.

Many Arab teams that have begun to improve their squads by bringing in European star players certainly make the competition in the league even tighter, so it seems that compared to MLS and also the Chinese or Turkish leagues, of course the Arab League is more interesting for us to watch at this time.

Of course Al-Nassr have everything it takes to be able to purchase some great players and build a very reliant squad especially building up their defense line and also midfield strength. They have a fierce attack especially with Ronaldo and Mane upfront you can get confidence of their attack but the issue now still remains the leaking defense.

 ⁠One of the greatest character of a winning team is having a well secured and protected defense line because it helps you stay safe without conceding goals. With an attcker that scores goal like Ronaldo, a great one thing to do will be to build and invest solidly in the defense of the team as that would help the team build up on the goals scored rather than goals conceded.⁠This in mind, I think the club can focus more on trying to sign up quality defenders and yes they have the necessary funds to necessitate on that.

 They will also be needing a very strong midfield player or players so as to help the defense line and also feed the attack line of the team. ⁠The club will be acting very fast because they know Ronaldo might be running out of time as he loves winning trophy and going another season without a trophy might mean him getting out of the club to where he can win trophies. The club needs to do something fast about their situation to still be able to keep Ronaldo in the club.
