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.

Euro 2024 will start soon and many things will happen in June from the Euro 2024 to transfer market. With tough matches in Euro 2024, players have risk of injuries and can return to their clubs with many months for recovery. The transfer market will affect many clubs too and I am curious that what will big and rich clubs in Saudi Professional League do on transfer market in this summer.

With Euro 2024, big transfers will less likely be done during the tournament and clubs can try to finalize their transfers before the tournament or they will have to wait till its ending to finish their negotiations and transfers with other clubs.

This league is popular enough and there is enough competition in this league that's why we talk about this league so much. There are many more leagues that we don't talk about that much but the main reason why we talk about this league so much is that many European players are playing regularly for various clubs in this league. Al Nasser and Al Hilal are not only two competitive teams but other teams in this league are also quite competitive. Al Ittihad We saw them win the title last season. If they didn't perform well, they wouldn't have beaten teams like Al Nasser or Al Hilal and won the title at all. It is clear that the competition in this season will be more competitive in the next season. Al Hilal Al Nasser and Al Ittihad as well as other clubs will probably add more to their squads this season.

Saudi Pro League is not as simple as it looks. Because there is more to do in these leagues. Clubs are very competitive. Al Hilal and Al Nasr are the only clubs in SPL who have managed to collect good points. Al Hilal and Al Nasr are two very strong and advanced clubs.

Saudi Pro League is not easy as it seems because there's more to accomplish. The clubs are highly competitive and not giving room for relenting resulrs. Al Hilal and Al Nassr are the only club in SPL that have proven to be strong enough to accumulate good points.

Connecting Ronaldo stats and the previous season, he's been dynamic in all angles and have deliver his best for the club although we should admit the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo is suffering at Al Nassr when it comes to performance on the pitch. The club depends on the Portugal international for every single opportunity that comes his path.

If we compare according to Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal's offensive line is also stronger, of course, in my opinion. If Al-Nassr wants to enter the competition, they should make really good transfers and strengthen the team in a balanced way. Instead of giving millions of dollars to just one star player, they can have a good transfer season and strengthen the team as a whole.

Here, the job also falls to the managers. Even if Al-Hilal maintains their squad, they already have a good enough squad.

That's right, Al Nassr weakness this season lies in their defense, their goal productivity is not matched by the lack of goals conceded, as a result they failed to win a trophy this season. The best way to go is to recruit quality players in the upcoming transfer market, Nacho Fernandez and Casemiro could be good options, both players have a good emotional relationship with Ronaldo. Apart from that, for the goalkeeper position, Al Nassr can recruit De Gea, who is currently without a club. In my opinion, Al Nassr can seduce them with the offer of a large salary.

The competition for the Saudi Pro League trophy will be even fiercer next season, because the other contestants will also improve their clubs too, and Al Hilal will still be difficult to beat. Meanwhile, I think Ronaldo request will be realized by the club, but it all depends on the players they are targeting. What is clear is that if Al Nassr fails to improve their defense, they will most likely fail again next season.

I've said it many times that Al-Nassr needs to strengthen its defense line, including the goalkeeper if they don't find the right players in this transfer window then there is no way to compete with Al-Hilal. We can check the standings Al-Nassr is only able to compete in scoring goals because they have some great strikers but look at the defense line Al-Nassr conceded 42 goals while Al-Hilal only conceded 23 goals that is enough to prove that Al-Nassr has a weakness there.

Reportedly Ronaldo asked Al-Nassr to bring in 2 players to strengthen their squad Casemiro and Nacho Fernandez are on the request list, Ronaldo definitely knows what the team needs it's just that so far there has been no further confirmation of this news. Actually, Casemiro had the opportunity to move to Al-Nassr because the situation was not good at Manchester United as we know, he is considered to have made mistakes in several matches.

It's one thing for a club to have prolific attacking players but a different thing to have a strong defense line. Al Nassr have the former but doesn't have the latter and that's why they failed to win any major trophy this season despite having striker like Cristiano Ronaldo who was easily the highest scoring striker in the league and in the whole of Asia in the just concluded league. Al Nassr like you rightly said have the financial strength to sign the best players in the Saudi Pro League so I think they'll definitely strengthen the club's defense line ahead of next season. If they can have a good defense line that rarely concede goals while having an attacking line that's scoring goals for fun, Al Nassr will definitely be a club to beat come next season. Cristiano Ronaldo isn't happy that he couldn't win a major trophy with the club in the just concluded season and if the club doesn't make major signings that'll help improve the team, the Portuguese superstar might just leave the club any time soon because he loves winning trophies and that I don't think the club management will ever want to happen.

AL Nassr has money to buy players that will be able to strengthen their defensive and also good midfielders  including a good coach. So whatever is the problem, they should solve it so that they can be able to challenge their rivals next season and win the league, because I see that the advantage that AL Hilal is having over AL Nassr is that they have a very good squad to win the league. With good strikers like Ronaldo, if they have professional players in other areas, Al Hilal will bow down to them and surrender the league to them.

Indeed. Ronaldo scored many goals in this season, he could score 44 goals in 1 season. No one doubt his ability as a machine goal, Ronaldo is still one of the great strikers in the world. However, winning a trophy needs a solid game of the whole players. It is useless if the defense is weak, Al Nassr still can't win the trophy although Ronaldo can be the top scorer. I don't know if it is about the unsuitable tactic but the quality of the defense of Al Nassr is clearly rather weak. It is normal if people blame the defenders of Al Nassr besides they blame the coach, too.

Al Nassr already has good quality attackers. I think they only need to focus on building their defense. The midfield line is also needed a big improvement if they want to compete with Al Hilal. Just look at Al Hilal, they only got 23 conceded goals during the season of 2023-2024. Meanwhile Al Nassr got 42 conceded goals. Considering the number of conceded goals, we can clearly know the difference of Al Hilal defense quality and Al Nassr defense quality.  

Although Al Nasr failed to win the Saudi Pro League title last season, I clearly remember Al Nasr defeating Al Hilal 2-1 in the Arab Cup final to secure the Arab Cup final. While I remember the fact that Al Nasser only secured the title of the Arab Cup final, what I remember more was the different celebration Al Nasser's players gave to the opposition. Al Nass may not have done well in either the local league or the Arab Cup this season but they will come back strong next season and have the potential to secure both the titles at the same time next season.

Ronaldo has spend 2 season in Al Nassr and he broke some personal records with Al Nassr but he still unable to help this team to gets the trophies because Al Nassr was failed to broke the domination of Al Hilal in the league besides that the latest is Al Nassr have to lost from Al Hilal at King Cup and Ronaldo feel dissapoint because before retired he want to lifted up the trophies with Al Nassr so that's why he thinking probably Al Nassr should be buy some players next season to strengthen their squad and name Casemiro and Nacho was appears because both players is his team mate at Real Madrid so Ronaldo feel if Al Nassr buy these players then they will be much stronger next season

Just like i said before Nacho has uncertain future in Real Madrid because there is possibility he will leave this summer because his contract is expired so Al Nassr probably will gets him with free transfer status and for Casemiro actually he has contract until 2026 with Manchester United but since last summer Casemiro was linked to several Saudi Arabian clubs including Al Nassr and he might be will leave Manchester United and i think if Al Nassr is really want to buy these players then this transfer will be possibly to happend

At this point, this man alone is creating a great future for Al Nassr. Well, I guess I cannot say Future. But definitely going to create a great team for Al Nassr. Al Hilal is still probably a better team. But if those players sexually join with Cristiano Ronaldo, Al Nassr is not going to be far behind. It is also clear that him not being able to win anything this season has hurt him even though he was the best scorer of the Saudi pro league. So he also wants to win things in the upcoming season. Let’s be honest, the craze that everyone has right now for the Saudi league is because of Cristiano Ronaldo. If he decides to retire, this craze is not going to be there anymore. Having Neymar is not going to be enough.

Al Hilal ended the season with great success at domestic level, they managed to win the trophy in an undefeated manner, but unfortunately that didn't happen in the Asian Champions League. Most recently, Al Hilal managed to win the Saudi Arabian King Cup by beating Al Nassr. This defeat automatically meant that Ronaldo and his colleagues ended the season empty-handed. I think Al Hilal deserved it, even though they won through a penalty shootout.

Al Nassr really has to build better squad depth, if they have the ambition to win a trophy next season, while Ronaldo is still by their side. It's true that Ronaldo is no longer young, but he is still capable of scoring lots of goals, and his experience and mentality can have a big influence on the team. If Al Nassr can recruit quality players, I think they will be as successful as Al Hilal next season.

Financially, Al Nassr will certainly not be hampered by recruiting players from European competitions, where Ronaldo influence can also smooth out these plans. The defense line is the main priority that must be improved, they must be able to reduce the number of goals conceded. For Al Nassr front line, I think it is very sharp, because Ronaldo is still capable of scoring lots of goals next season.

Yes, the transfer market is getting closer so it is not surprising that many top players from European clubs who are quite old are linked with Saudi Arabian League clubs. Because if players from top European clubs play in the Saudi Arabian League, they will definitely be offered quite expensive contracts. However, when talking about Lewandowski, it is true that he will continue to defend Barcelona next season. Moreover, currently Barcelona has brought in Hansi Flick as a new coach. So this will certainly make Lewandowski feel more at home at Barcelona, ​​because Hansi Flick was his former coach when Lewandowski was still in the Bayern Munich uniform.

Then about Nacho, currently I haven't heard any news about him. However, if you look at his contract with Real Madrid, it will end this season. So, if for example Nacho doesn't get a contract extension, I think it's very likely he will join Ronaldo at Al Nasr. The reason is that it seems like there is no other club in Europe that is ready to bring in Nacho. This is normal considering that he is quite old now. So it is natural that, for example, he did not receive a contract extension from Real Madrid or other offers from clubs in Europe. Therefore, the Saudi Arabian League could be quite an attractive option for Nacho before retiring.
