In last few days we are having some wired decisions by the Al Ittihad and Manchester City management because few days back things were looking not positive for Ederson to join Al Ittihad but now suddenly we have U-turn as Manchester City ready to allow Ederson for any possible money, but price is very high. £50 Million asked by Pepe Guardiola mean something is cooking behind the scene, and we are not well aware about this, but we also had some updates about Al Ittihad is having their goalkeeper so now they will be not gone ahead with this deal but as we also know about soccer there is nothing until we have all things sorted out.

Most chances we will have Ederson here in Saudi Pro League after the end of current season, but things are looking unpredictable because anything possible which is surely part of soccer community.

Saudi Arabia clubs have enough financial power to manage their operations so they might not be moved by money. West Ham's bid for N'Golo Kante will not be accepted because the club has some important reasons for signing the French midfielder. The government of Saudi Arabia is investing heavily in the league because they want it to compete with European leagues and also help boost their chances of hosting the World Cup. Players like Kante are needed to build the League and also mentor young players. Kante might not even consider leaving since West Ham'l might not be able to pay him what earns in Al-Ittihad.


My prediction is that Kante will remain in Saudi Arabia until he has made enough money. His decision to return to Europe will be determined by his form and the offer he receives from European clubs. Maybe he might decide to play for his boyhood club as we wait for retirement. But for now, he is making more money than he has ever made even when he was in his prime.

Indeed, for De Bruyne he doesn't need to rush to come to the SPL. Because the offer for him will definitely come again next season. Even if De Bruyne does not get a contract extension at Man City, it will make De Bruyne a free transfer next season. So he will be freer to choose any club that comes to make an offer to him. And of course he will consider the highest offer to him. Because at his age he must prioritize finances. because he has achieved almost all the achievements with Man City in European football.

I am happy that the teams from the Saudi Pro League are still actively hunting for the best European players in the transfer market. Because actually I had the thought that in this transfer market maybe the teams from the SPL would not be so active in hunting for many European players again except for just a few. But now I hear that not only Al-ittihad has succeeded in bringing in top European players but several other teams have also taken the same steps. The Saudi Pro League next season will really be even more interesting. And it is reported that every club in the SPL can add more European players to their current squad. Different from last season's rules.

Kante is a simple man and for him to have joined Saudi Arabia league he might not have any plans of playing in Europe again considering the fact that he would have to travel with his family again back to Europe which might not be the best thing for children (if he has any). Most of the those teams had the opportunity to sign him then when he was at Chelsea struggling with injuries but they all thought he was finished. It would be great to seem him play at Europe again but respecting his contract with Al Ittihad is also a considerable thing to do.

That’s true all interest will die down when he elapses his contract time, he will be 35 years so definitely no European club will want him anymore and if can still play longer all he should extend his contract if Al Ittihad still see him valuable.

If this rumor becomes a reality then it will actually be very good news for Al-ittihad. But unfortunately the news I read is that these rumors are just rumors. Because it seems like the Man City coach, Pep Guardiola, is still making De Bruyne the most needed player in the Man City squad for the upcoming season. But there is no certainty regarding this issue. This rumor also emerged because until now De Bruyne does not seem to have had any discussions with the club regarding a contract extension at Man City. Meanwhile, De Bruyne only has one season left on his contract. And I think that if this season De Bruyne stays at Man City, it doesn't rule out the possibility that next season De Bruyne will come to an SPL club.

Al-ahli's movements are indeed very good and as a team that was ranked 3rd in the season that just ended, it is certainly something that Al-ahli deserves to do to strengthen their squad because of course their rivals in the SPL are of course clubs that have a strong squad, especially Al-hilal and Al-nassr.

In my opinion, Richarlison certainly has a very good performance and of course if Richarlison is successfully brought in by Al-ahli to strengthen Al-ahli then of course there is potential for the Al-ahli squad in terms of attack next season there will be progress and of course in my opinion Richarlison will have the potential to be impressive when playing with Al-ahli. But indeed, with conditions like that, of course there will be a risk for Al-ahli and what is also worrying is that Richarlison will get injured again.

but yes, Richarlison is priced at a high price by Tottenham, in my opinion, if you dare to take Richarlison, it is certainly very risky, but of course it is very difficult to predict this, but in my opinion, Richarlison will potentially not be bought by Al-ahli and according to my predictions, Gabriel Jesus will also not move. from Arsenal because I believe Arsenal really want a stronger squad for the coming season and of course I think Gabriel Jesus is really needed.

But going to Saudi Arabia could put an end to his career in the Brazilian national team. I am not sure whether he would still be given the chance to play for the national team if he goes to such an inferior league. I know there are a few examples of players who are still nominated, like Ronaldo for Portugal, but I believe that will be an exception as there are enough Brazilian players playing in the top leagues. I guess though money could easily change Richarlison's mind and he doesn't care about playing for Brazil anymore if on the other hand he can make a fortune on top of the fortune he already amassed.

Still quite young though to flush a career down the toilet in Saudi Arabia, but then again he never was able to fully live up to his potential in the Premier League. Maybe as a consequence this would be a reasonable step for him.

There is only one season left for De Bruyne to spend his career with Manchester City and there is no real certainty yet even though there are many rumors circulating about his move to enter the SPL.
Several rumors have surfaced stating that De Bruyne has personal agreement with Al Ittihad, clearly this will be big opportunity for De Bruyne to be able to make more money and really prepare everything in the final days of his career which may not be long before pension.
But all of this is just rumor because in reality Pep as Manchester City coach has stated that De Bruyne will not leave Manchester City this summer.
With Pep denial regarding De Bruyne departure, it can also be concluded that we will not see De Bruyne in the SPL in the near future, but that could possibly happen in the next season when his contract expires.

Richarlison would be quite good for Saudi level, I mean we are talking about a player who was much better than what Spurs could provide, he was suppose to be a world class player, but then he started to be much worse, something happened along the line and he started to not do that well, and started to miss many games, and things didn't go that well.

I guess that Richarlison at Saudi Arabia would be a lot better, it could definitely do some serious damage, he could definitely end up with some great results. I am just guessing what he will do of course, I do not have any idea what will happen, but I am guessing that 20+ goals this season seems like a seriously doable thing for him, if he plays of course.

Benzema was a great striker too when he came to Ittihad, but he didn't play many games and that is why he failed to score many goals, same could happen with Richarlison too. What I am saying with that 20+ goal is only if he takes it seriously, and he doesn't look like the type of player that takes it seriously, he looks like he rather have fun and because of that SA situation may not go as well as he hopes for.

In the end, who would say no to that much money, so I am sure he will be happy with his payments at least.

Pep Guardiola has confirmed that he will let Ederson go if a team dares to pay 50 million euros, which means that currently all the decisions are up to the team that wants to recruit Ederson, If we talk about the SPL then we cannot avoid the circulation of money that occurs in the SPL very big and it is not difficult for SPL teams to continue to make big offers to recruit the star players they have wanted all this time, Ederson who continues to be linked with Al Ittihad, seems to be ready to leave now and he has also received the green light to go anywhere what he wants, so this is the right time for Al Ittihad to move quickly to realize their desire to recruit Ederson before other teams try to sabotage Ederson from Manchester City later. Regarding KDB, Guardiola has confirmed that they will not sell KDB at this time and I think the SPL team's interest in KDB is currently just a rumor.

Rumors about this goalkeeper are still ongoing to this day but there is no certainty regarding Al Ittihad's seriousness regarding recruiting this goalkeeper, even though it seems that Manchester City is willing to release this goalkeeper to Al Ittihad because Pep Guardiola has also prepared other options to find a replacement for this goalkeeper if it is true. gone, a transfer fee of 50 million euros shouldn't be a problem for Al Ittihad right? That's not too expensive for a Saudi Arabian club, after all, he is also the best goalkeeper that Man City has had so far.

Regarding Kevin De Bruyne, it is clear that this is just a rumor, he is still at Man City. Pep Guardiola has confirmed it and Fabrizio Romano has also posted his latest news. I have also said this before in the Premier League thread.

The way Al Ittihad spends money is wired. Ederson is a good player and he had good performance in Macnshter City to make any team send him an offer but even Al Nassr couldn't hire Ederson because he asked for too much money and it was even more money than Al Nassr could pay for the player.
Now it seems Al Ittihad is ready to pay this money for Ederson, this player is linked to Al Ittihad and is close to joining this team soon in the next season.

Kelvin De Bruyne is yet to clear the air regarding the rumours circulating about his moves, he's important player for his country and club, he will make his interests known before the transfer window closes. Making money, it's simple, just go straight to Saudi Arabia. They're now classified into the category of oil money, if a player loses interests in pursue for awards and he's playing for the money, better take decision and move to SPL. Although players have regarded the European football as priority for themselves and wanting to secure good spots.

It seems like De Bruyne going to Al-ittihad is just a rumor. And several sources have even confirmed that it is just a news rumor and in fact it does not appear that there has been any connection regarding this player's transfer with Al-Ittihad. But one thing that is certain is that now Al-ittihad has succeeded in bringing in one of the new, quite young players from Aston Villa, namely Moussa Diaby. With this, Al-ittihad's wing midfielders will be even stronger next season. And Al-ittihad even seems to be getting closer to getting the signature of Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson. Because currently it seems that Al-ittihad is still struggling to bring in the Manchester City goalkeeper even though they have to pay a high price. (Sourch)

Al Ittihad is the defending champion of 2023 at that time they are very strong but they having hard situation last season this makes them have to changed the managers several times because lost to compete with Al Hilal and Al Nassr and last season they only can able to finish at 5th place which as a big team in Saudi Pro League this is poor achievement for them besides that these results too makes Al Ittihad was unable to playing at Asian Champion League

Currently Al Ittihad has new manager Laurent Blanc and as experience manager in Europa Laurent Blanc has hard jobs in this team because the management has set high target for him and they want Laurent Blanc can bringing Al Ittihad to compete with Al Hilal and Al Nassr for race title and this is hard task because these teams also will do good preparation to facing next season and i am sure they also will be stronger than last season

About the rumours Ederson and De Bruyne according to the latest news i can see De Bruyne has decide to refuse the offers from Al Ittihad this because he still comfortable to playing at Manchester City and De Bruyne have no plan to leave Manchester City at least until 2024/2025 ended

And for Ederson this player is confirmed want to leave Manchester City even Manchester City is allowing him to look for new clubs and i thought he was deal with Al Nassr because previously he was linked to Al Nassr but apparently the deal was cancelled because until now Ederson is still the player of Manchester City even this team has decide to bringing Ederson for pre season tour but recently Al Ittihad appears with attempts to bought him and let see it later whether Al Ittihad can successfully to gets his signature or not

De Bruyne will leave the team if he wants to make money. If he is going to go, he will go to Saudi Arabia. Nothing seems clear at the moment, but I have read some articles that he will be in Manchester City next year. If he wants to transfer from Manchester City, it would probably be from a team in the Saudi Arabian league. I'm sure you'll earn a lot of money from there. After that, there will be retirement. He is one of the best players in the world, but he is getting old now.

While De Bruyne, it looks like the speculation circulating will just become mere rumors in the future, even though currently De Bruyne has 1 remaining contract with Manchester City but Guardiola still wants to keep him next season even at the risk of him leaving for free later, these two players have won many titles in their careers so currently getting a better life guarantee after retirement is of course their target but they still must to respect the remaining contracts at this time.

Saudi League is surely trying their best for having few top players here again because few transfers are now pending for next season which is not good for them so they are trying their best for any possible move which can give them good intention Richarlison is the good player, and he has done his best in pas, but now things are not favourable for him and no doubt he is also no in project of coach Ange, but we have to understand one thing as well.

Daniel Levy has never been good person to deal because once he fixed price tag is not going to have anything less than his target so £60 Million is so much, and I have strong feeling despite having good funds Al Ahli will never spend this amount for Richarlison because this is too much, and they can bring better players on less amount from other clubs around the Europe currently they are on working for few transfers hopefully we will have updates.

Yes, at that age, Ederson and De Bruyne would be very good if they played in the Saudi Arabian League. Because there they will definitely get a much bigger salary than their salary at Manchester City. Apart from that, Ederson seems to be very close to signing a contract with Al Ittihad, because several media outlets say that Ederson has indeed agreed to join Al Ittihad. So for now, Al Ittihad just needs to discuss prices with Manchester City. My estimate is that this week or next week Al Ittihad will definitely succeed in solving Ederson's recruitment problem.

Then regarding De Bruyne, some time ago it was also rumored that he would move to Al Ittihad. However, it seems that these rumors are not true, because it is unlikely that De Bruyne will be released by Manchester City in this transfer market. The reason is that even though he is old, he is still a mainstay in Manchester City's midfield, so it is certain that Manchester City will not let him go even though Al Ittihad offered him quite a lot of money. Guardiola, who is also the Manchester City coach, also said that De Bruyne will remain with Manchester City this season. So with this fact, it means that the rumors that De Bruyne will move to the Saudi Arabian League or more precisely to Al Ittihad are not true.

Rumors were still circulating before the start of the season and this time it was Al-Ahli's turn to express their interest in bringing Richarlison from Spurs. Previously we knew that Richarlison himself was also unable to provide more expectations with Spurs and sometimes coach Ange also often put him on the bench. With this interest, Spurs owner Daniel Levy has set a fee of £60m for Richarlison.

In fact, that's a very expensive cost, especially considering Richarlison's current performance doesn't really deserve to be valued that high. But Spurs are indeed taking advantage of this moment to gain large amounts of money. On the other hand, it is reported that not only Richarlison is Al-Ahli's target but Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal will also be his target.

How do you see Al-Ahli's movements this summer? Will they get both or even one of them?
