Ronaldo has given a lot of influence on the current Arab League football, not only for Al Nassr but indirectly Ronaldo arrival to the Arab League has actually made the popularity of the Arab League increase, Al Nassr this season has failed to win the Saudi Arabian League but Ronaldo has been able to perform quite well and of course has contributed a lot to every Al Nassr match so far,   Although this season Al Nassr failed to win the Arab League, Ronaldo was still able to show his capacity as a reliable striker and was also able to set a new record as a striker who managed to become the top scorer in 4 different leagues so far.

Al Nassr who this season failed to compete with Al Hillal of course must be able to improve the quality of their squad next season to be able to win the league, currently it is reported that Al Nassr is starting to try to bring in some star players who are indeed considered to be able to make their squad better later, among some of the players targeted by Al Nassr currently some of them are former Ronaldo teammates namely Casemiro and also Szczesny, so I think Ronaldo seems to be specifically ask the management of Al Nassr to recruit them.

The Saudi leagues are paying huge sums of money to bring a lot of players from Europe to their league every season and last season I heard rumors that several teams in the Saudi league could get a chance in the Champions League. But last season it was only rumours. Rumors of Saudi Arabia's clubs playing in the Champions League are definitely a big win for the Saudi League because rumors are bound to come true at some point. If every season the different clubs of the Saudi League spend money to bring European stars to their clubs, then one day the best teams of the Saudi League will play in the Champions League. Players will be attracted to this Saudi league whenever Champions League is played and then this league will become more popular.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Joselu will join the Qatar League, not the Saudi Pro League, more precisely with Al Gharafa. We all realize that Joselu departure is very reasonable, because his opportunities to play in Real Madrid main squad next season will be drastically reduced after Mbappe arrival. Self-aware of this situation, I think Joselu has taken the right step in leaving Santiago Bernabeu. His contribution last season will always be remembered, if not exaggeratedly, Joselu was Real Madrid most successful loan ever. Joining Al Gharafa is also very profitable financially, Joselu will get high wages like European players who join the Saudi League. Joselu was lucky enough in his short period with Real Madrid, he managed to win three trophies in one season.

A good offer for Al Ittihad for this former AC Milan coach, because last season Al Ittihad really lacked the strategy or game scheme that they implemented so they had a lot of failures in matches, Poli made a lot of sense to take him to Saudi Pro because Poli can also experimenting with strategies and also game schemes because if he goes to England he will lose because the Premier League is not yet suitable for the coach in my opinion, and in times of unemployment like now it is a good thing for him to guide Al Ittihad to be better.

One by one Real Madrid players left this summer after Nacho previously joined Al-Qadsiah, now it is Joselu's turn to follow him to the Saudi league. Joselu will not stay at Real Madrid even though management is willing to redeem his 1.5 million clause from Espanyol and it seems he feels happy after winning various titles with Real Madrid in one season.

On the other hand, I think it was the right decision from Joselu because his place at Real Madrid has been shifted by the arrival of several talented young players such as Mbappe and Endrick so if he stays he won't get the chance to play. So his decision to go to the Saudi league and earn more money was absolutely right. However, it is not yet clear which team will get the contract later.

So, which team will get Joselu? In my opinion, it might be Al-Ittihad considering that Benzema has been unreliable so far.

Yes, it would be more exciting if SPL looked for young players who were less than 30 years old so that SPL's name could become even better. And in fact, recently the ones bought by Saudi Arabian clubs have always been those above 30. but of course by buying players over the age of 30 it can be said to be successful because now the name of the SPL is becoming increasingly famous and also like the latest one where Nacho will join Al-Qadsiah which of course he is over the age of 30 but yes of course his presence is certainly very good and of course hopefully the club Arabs were able to bring in young players after Nacho joined Al-Qadsiah.

In my opinion, maybe this is a good start for the SPL because of course the SPL can gradually buy young players and to be honest, I personally also hope that Saudi Arabian clubs will buy young players. Yes, if for example a young player like Cole Palmer is bought, it will certainly make the SPL better because there is a balance between the SPL players.

This rumor has been spreading for weeks but there is no clear progress. Casemiro will be a perfect player for AL Nassr, he will play together with Ronaldo. Ronaldo already asked to Al Nassr to sign Casemiro. If he becomes the player of Al Nassr, no doubt AL Nassr will have a stronger midfield line. However, I don't see any statement from Casemiro whether he is interested to join AL Nassr or not.

Yes, AL Nassr has a problem with their defense. Casemiro is the defensive midfielder, he will be helpful for AL Nassr defense. I really hope Al Nassr management is really serious to negotiate with Casemiro because he is proven as a great midfielder both in Real Madrid and in Man United. He is also still in a good performance, so it will be very amazing if he can join Al Nassr for the next season.

When you’re a star man and you’re playing with some other average guys, one of the two either happens. You either become the very best or you flop. It’s like a psychological thing where your brain works to level you along with the other guys as you don’t feel threatened or you’re not in so much competition.
With that been said, being one man in the sea of others doesn’t always help much, even when you’ve got a couple of other guys for support. Even Al Nasr with the likes of Sadio, Ronaldo and a couple of other elite guys couldn’t win the kings trophy. You would expect them to win it easily but no, that didn’t happen. They went ahead to win on their individual brilliance but not the trophy. The psychology games on you!

One thing is admirable though, the Saudi league is gradually coming to be and you’ve got one guy to thank for it, Ronaldo.

That’s what I just said. What I wanted to say is having one important or star player in the team is not going to be enough if he is unable to have good chemistry with other players and the other players also fail to understand what he wants to do. that’s probably something along the lines of what happened with Benzema in the Saudi pro league. People also should not forget that he was infamous for missing very easy chances when he was in Real Madrid. And the season in which he was able to win the Ballon d’Or, I will say he was pretty lucky. But the "Ramadan Benzema" was truly incredible though. It was like the more he was fasting, the more he was able to perform well. Anyway back to the present. I don't think he will ever be able to replicate the performance that he had with Real Madrid in that season. Doesn’t matter in which league he is playing.

It may be the most surprising transfer news of the year! Qadsiah to Nacho? Who knew? You know what? Somewhat excited about this. Nacho and the Saudi Pro League may benefit.

Nacho is an experienced winner. He might help Qadsiah, who are still finding their footing in the top flight, with his expertise and leadership. The money incentive is a huge benefit for a retiring player. The Saudi Pro League made a big statement with this signing. It indicates they're not just for veteran superstars looking for a payout. They're recruiting premier players who can make an impact. What Nacho can do in this new setting excites me!

I feel like Saudi league should also start to look for younger players as well. I am not saying 23 years old or something, that may not be possible, I mean no matter how much money they pay, they can't get someone like Cole Palmer for example, yeah that is not going to happen.

However, they do not have to look for players who are 30+ years old all the time, I think it could be like 27 years old at minimum, but like until 30 as well. Right now, I keep hearing names that are 35 or more as well, like Lewandowski is a talking point now, I am sorry but while he is awesome and if they can then they should get him, but why keep going for those? They are offering so much money, they should look for players who are younger and pay them instead.

It’s obvious that United is not the right team for him at his age because everything he seems to do doesn’t matter since the team is not at their best right now, they are struggling to find a consistent performance and he is not really appreciated much so seeking a move out will be at his favor. The best thing to do right now is to join other players in Saudi league or better still he can reunite with his former Madrid and Manchester United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo in Al Nassr. Al Nassr seem to interested in him and are looking to reunite them once more, if that happens it will be good move for both the club and the players because it will improve the team’s defensive performance that they struggled throughout last season.

After I tried to research Al-Qadsiah, this club is still under a company funded by the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I also saw from Wiki that Al-Qadsiah is owned by Aracom, which operates a petroleum refinery company. so you can be sure that this club also has very healthy financial funds and is no less than other clubs acquired by PIF, please correct me if the source I refer to is not correct. however, if this is true, it could mean that Al-Qadsiah will join in their competition with other elite clubs next season. with the finances they have, that's why Al-Qadsiah was able to bring this defender from Real Madrid to the Saudi Pro League.

Currently, it is true that Al-Qadsiah is a mediocre team, especially since previously Al-Qadsiah only competed in the main division. Well, interestingly, when they entered the Saudi Pro League, the club immediately brought in Nacho Fernandez. In fact, I didn't follow developments surrounding Nacho when Al-Qadsiah wanted to use his services. It can be assumed that Qadsiah will increase the level of his team's squad by bringing in several newcomers from the European League. Maybe this is what made Nacho sign a contract with Qadsiah, despite Nacho Fernandez's age, which is no longer young. We'll see to what extent Al-Qadsiah will bring in new arrivals, especially former top European players. or, Qadsiah only intends to bring in Nacho Fernandez as their target. let's just wait, after all the Saudi Pro League is scheduled for longer than the top European leagues.

Al Nassr's failure to win any trophy in the just concluded league wasn't because they weren't good enough to win a trophy or because they do not have players that are strong enough to help them win trophies but because they had a better team in Saudi Pro League which was Al Hilal. In the just concluded season the two clubs met in five different times and none of the games did Al Nassr get a win. Al Hilal have proven to be the strongest rival of Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League and any other domestic competition and now that the season is over, I expect the manager of Al Nassr alongside his technical team to go back to the drawing board and try fish out the reasons why they were always beaten by Al Hilal so they can improve their style of play.
For Al Nassr, they have two football global superstars in Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane but their presence in the team weren't enough to stop Al Hilal from beating them the many times they did last season. There must be a way to end that jinx and now that the the new season is yet to kick off is the best time if you ask me.

C. Ronaldo has worked hard this season with Al Nassr he has given his best for the club, no one can be blamed because they failed to kill Al Hilal this season, because everyone is aware that Al Hilal is a strong club in Saudi they have conquered it in in Saudi, so it won't be easy to beat them, but for Al Nassr themselves they have to bring new performance to the squad for next season so that their journey to conquer the Saudi Pro is successful.

For me this league comes down to when AL NASSR manages to beat Al Hilal well in all the matches they can be crowned champions, in the meantime no, and clearly despite having Mane and CR7 they have not been able to win, and this seems so Impressive to me because they have all the conditions, I don't know, but I don't see any errors in the team's management, personally I think CR7 should try harder, apart from that they are Watching him to see if he can perform so that he can be part of the team in the 2026 World Cup in the USA, so now he should train harder than ever and continue encouraging his team, I think they are close, they just have to give it their all.

Even at his current age, one of his teammates has decided to retire from football, namely Toni Kroos, even though his performance is still very good. Maybe as a player, if Nacho retires at the age of 40 then he will have at least 5/6 more years to play, that is the age that is the highest calculation and in fact we don't know what number he wants to retire when he reaches the end.
He has won all the titles during his time with Real Madrid, so there is actually no burden for him to now focus on the income he will get in a team. He is actually just enjoying the rest of his career now with the success he achieved with Real Madrid and one of them is going to a less competitive league.
However, now it is just a rumor and there is no certainty whether he will really leave or whether he received an offer from another team which he finally accepted. but even if he goes to the SPL, it's not a problem.

I heard that one of Manchester United's defensive midfielders is leaving and has received several offers from Saudi Pro League clubs. That is Casemiro, one of the midfielders who has a good appearance. However, there is no news that can really be confirmed about which club he is listening to, but what is clear is that the offer has been received. Will it be Al Nassr?

It also makes sense for Al Nassr to target Casemiro for them, because their problem this season is in defense and maybe with the arrival of a spartan defensive midfielder who can cut off the opponent's ball flow, they will be able to defend even better. If he joins Al Nassr, then he will again play with his teammate when he played at Real Madrid and also when he played at Manchester United, Ronaldo. But we'll see who ends up getting the signature of this Brazilian player.

It seems that Al-Qadsiah is not part of the Saudi government circle and they are certainly supported by several investors so they can recruit European players and I think they have that power considering they are a Middle Eastern club. Moreover, when promotion to the Saudi League has been confirmed, of course they want greater prestige and that is an opportunity to bring in European players to make their team even more famous.

The deal with Nacho Fernandez is locked and he will be an Al-Qadsiah player next season. Maybe I have a feeling why Nacho Fernandez didn't choose Al-Ittihad because the atmosphere there was not good and reflecting on his former teammate, Benzema, it seems like he didn't want to be caught in the same problem so he chose Al-Qadsiah over Al-Ittihad and it was the right decision.

The problem of Nacho going to the SPL, of course, this has pros and cons. It would be a shame if Nacho would leave Real Madrid because currently Real Madrid is in good form and of course has a bright future because Mbappe has now joined Real Madrid. Of course this adds to the strength of the Real Madrid squad and of course the future of Real Madrid is very bright.

indeed Al-qadsiah is not as great as Al-hilal, Al-nassr, Ittihad but in my opinion Nacho certainly has a strong reason why he will join Al-qadsiah but of course if Nacho joins Al-qadsiah of course Al-qadsiah's name will increase in terms of popularity.

Yes, it could be that age or money is the reason why Nacho wants to join Al-Qadsiah because at his current age he will definitely be more focused on money because of course in the season that just ended he and his friends won many trophies. Yes, maybe he wants to follow in Cristiano Ronaldo's footsteps which will certainly make the SPL even more exciting. but now let's just look at Nacho who will definitely defend for Al-Qadsiah I personally hope he always performs well when defending Al-Qadsiah.
