Sadio Mane may not be as good as Cristiano Ronaldo. But still his contribution was quite large in Al-nassr. Because when Cristiano Ronaldo is absent or unable to play because of a red card or something, we always see Mane taking responsibility and leading the Al-Nassr squad on the field well. So I still won't be happy if Mane leaves. Unless Al-Nassr does have other players who are considered better than Mane to bring in. So it could indeed seem reasonable. Although I still hope this player stays at Al-nassr. However, the club management knows better what they should do. But I'm sure Mane will stay at Al-Nassr.

To be fair, Mane did not play as well as they hoped he would, Mane hasn't been himself for a while to be fair. Last year at Liverpool wasn't good, his season at Bayern wasn't good, and everyone thought "well he is not good enough for that level anymore" and that is why he went to Saudi league, but he wasn't that great at Saudi League neither.

Sure better than many players there, but when you are paid as much as he is paid, people expect a Ronaldo level of contribution to the team. So Al Nassr may keep him, but if they decide to send him away, then it would mean that he would just be sold for salary purposes, they want to get rid of his salary, and use that salary for a player that could help them a lot more, which makes sense to me.

No one doubted Ramos when he played for the team he had a career with, last season Ramos was with Sevilla. Now he is being linked with several clubs, apart from Al Nassr.  However, what concerns me is whether there are no defenders who are much younger and stronger for Al Nassr ahead of the coming season. the reason is, for how many seasons if Al Nasrr wants to use Ramos' services. I tried to look at it in terms of popularity, Al Nassr has top players with the players they have now. or, ideally bringing in someone younger than Ramos. By offering him a contract and a high salary, Al Nassr was able to get a more ideal defender who also had the same skills and quality. besides, I'm not sure if Ramos is interested in joining and playing in the Saudi Pro League. as mentioned in the above report, he prefers other leagues. But, we'll see, who knows, Segio Ramos will be interested if he gets an offer from Al Nassr.

Well, IMO, Al Nassr can bring in players who have quality. they already have top players besides CR7, they will also get a tough defender besides Ramos. I'm not saying Ramos is over, but rather about the future progress of the Al Nassr squad itself. or, they can recruit local talent. It's been two seasons, Al Nassr without a League title after bringing in star players. Maybe, now is the time for them to focus on young talent. at least, for the squad's defense line. Or as I said above, that doesn't mean Ramos can no longer be relied on. However, Al Nassr will be much more competitive if they see the local potential or young talents they can bring in.

If Al Nasr makes a big enough offer for Ramos, I think he will be willing to play for Al Nasr. The reason is, at almost 40 years old, Ramos certainly won't have many choices in choosing a club. So if a club offers him a contract with a high enough salary, he will definitely accept it. Moreover, if Al Nasr offers him a contract, Ramos will definitely be willing to go to Al Nasr, because he will definitely be able to meet his teammate from Real Madrid (Ronaldo). So if you look at this aspect, it is very likely that Ramos will join Al Nasr before retiring.

And if we talk about Ramos' current performance, it could be said that he still has quite good performance as a defender. The reason is, this season he has often been the main player at Sevilla. Apart from that, even though he plays as a defender, Ramos was also able to score 7 goals for Sevilla in all competitions this season. So, even though Ramos is quite old, he is still very suitable to play at Al Nasr. Because as you said, currently Al Nasr is in need of a defender who has very extensive skills and experience. And of course Ramos fits these criteria very well, because Ramos has a very long experience as a defender, and he also has quite good skills. So it is clear that Ramos is a suitable player to fill the defender position at Al Nasr.

Ronaldo is a player of big matches. İttihad is a strong team. Al Nassr is stronger, but they still could not become champions. I think they will be better next year. I think it will be a year where they can make very good transfers. They will spend a lot of money to unseat Al Hilal. A lot of money is spent in the Saudi Pro League and this is considered normal.

If that becomes a reality, it seems like it will be easier for Al Nassr to secure the title in the SPL because Pepe and Ronaldo have always had a close relationship like brothers and when they were with Real Madrid, Pepe often defended Ronaldo no matter what happened, so when Pepe and Sergio Ramos were able to join forces with Al Nassr, the club's performance will definitely be stronger and they will not worry about getting the title because players like Sergio Ramos and Pepe have good talent even though they are old and Al Nassr will get big profits if they succeed in getting these two players.

This is an opportunity for Al Nassr to get top players from Europe without big costs, while Al Nassr will get something big in the future if they succeed in recruiting Pepe and Ramos.
Ronaldo will also be very happy to be able to compete with his old teammate who has been separated for a long time and Al Nassr must at least pursue Pepe to immediately get this player before other clubs make offers.

It feels like it's an exaggeration but sometimes players who experience star syndrome need to be given a proper lesson and I agree that Sergio Ramos should join Al-Nassr. But that's not the main focus and every now and then Sergio Ramos can provide appropriate action so that Al-Bulayhi doesn't act too much. I often feel annoyed that in big matches between Al-Hilal vs Al-Nassr there is always drama where he seeks more attention and doesn't focus on the match.

Apart from all that, now of course Al-Nassr knows what they have to do and if they want to stick with Sergio Ramos then they have to be able to persuade him and Ronaldo really has to be more involved in the transfer process. Pepe was a compatriot of Sergio Ramos at Real Madrid and if these two thugs were on the same pitch, I'm sure no player would be safe from their hard play.

Al Bulayhi is famous as a player who often launches intimidation against any player who is Al Hillal opponent so far, even from several matches he often does things that do lead to the issuance of red cards to other players as has happened to Ronaldo, not only in the league, previously he has also done it in Saudi Arabia international matches so that Messi,  Ziyech and also Son Heung Min have been victims of his attitude, it seems that Al Bulayhi did deliberately get a special assignment by Al Hillal and also the Saudi Arabian national team during the match to make the opposing star players emotional, so that Al Hillal and the Saudi Arabian national team got an advantage in the match.

Currently Pepe and Ramos are two very experienced defenders and I think we all here know how they perform in the Madrid defense, if Ramos and Pepe join Al Nassr of course it will make Al Nassr have a strong defense, besides that we also cannot forget how players like Ramos and Pepe often do actions that are also feared by their opponents,  So if Al Bulayhi is a crazy player, of course Pepe and Ramos are even crazier.

Recently two top European defender Sergio Ramos and Pepe have been free agent after their contract with Sevilla and Porto are expiring make Saudi Pro League don't spent much money for fees transfer. Both of them between Pepe or Sergio Ramos still on the top perform exactly Pepe playing well for Portugal national team in Euro 2024.
Pepe had good communicate with Cristiano Ronaldo and I think easily for signing him because Ronaldo will give interested for Pepe but Ramos last season ever denied with Saudi pro league team offer before joining Sevilla. Could be reunion as Real Madrid former if three of them Ronaldo, Pepe and Sergio Ramos are in the Al Nassr club with potential winning the domestic league trophy for next season. Take moment awhile for Pepe after Euro 2024 to know his future team and Sergio Ramos maybe will make negotiation with several teams which one has interested offering keep stay with European club or accepting Saudi Pro League club offering.

How can Al Nassr improve their performance if Al Nassr sells one of its mainstay players, Sadio Mane is one of Al Nassr's mainstay players besides Cristiano Ronaldo. If the club releases this player then Al Nassr's attack line will decline and they will have difficulty competing with Al Hilal in the next season's title race front. Even though Al Nassr's attack line itself already has a good attack line, so they have to retain these players so that it doesn't affect the club's performance next season. Relying on one star player is not enough to perform optimally. Ronaldo also needs partners who the club can also rely on.

So far, Sadio Mane has helped Ronaldo a lot and Al Nassr has also replaced Ronaldo's role when this player is needed. For me, it is better for Al Nassr to sell players who are not really needed, especially the defenders they have, Al Nassr has defenders who are not performing well and they They have to overhaul their back line so that their defense can be strong this season. Al Nassr failed to win any title. I think one of the reasons is because they have a defense that is not as strong as Al Hilal. They have to have a strong defense and a productive attack line to be able to compete with Al Hilal.

Last season we saw several players from Liverpool join the Saudi League. Liverpool released several players last season, in contrast they did not add as many players to their squad. That season is over and a new season is about to start again and in the gap between different clubs are planning to buy different players to strengthen their club. For the last few seasons we have seen Saudi League teams buying various players from various European clubs at high prices, maybe this season will also be the same but it is unlikely that they will only buy players from Liverpool.

If Liverpool let players go like this every season they would not have players to perform at the club. I don't think the rumors about Virgil van Dijk can be true because this defender is one of Liverpool's most reliable defenders so Liverpool might not let him go now.

I am actually quite surprised that Ramos doesn't consider to retire after his contract with Sevilla is over. Ramos already won almost all prestigious trophies, he may be one of the lucky players in the world because he was a player of Real Madrid in Ancelotti era and Zidane era, and he is also a part of Spanish national team in its best era. He won UCL trophy, all domestic trophies, many international trophies, and even world cup trophy. He should be satisfied with all the achievements.

However, it is good if he wants to join Al Nassr. He can play again with Ronaldo and he can strengthen the defense line of Al Nassr. Even if he is 38 years old, I think his quality is quite good for the level competition like SPL. I am sure Ramos won't ask for a very huge salary because he knows he is in the end of his career as a footballer.

No, I don't think it is a good idea to join MLS or Turkish league. There is nothing special there, better to stay in Europe than moving there.

Al Naasr is trying hard to get the team improved because they will need to race with Al Hilal in the next season just like this season but they really need to beat Al Hilal in this race but beating a team like Al Hilal with all the good teamwork they have and situation hey got in their team won't be easy at all.
Some players couldn't have good performance there and it seems now Sadio Mane is about to leave the team. Al Nassr will let Mane leave if he gets an offer of more than 15 million euros.


 

The more the merrier, I am sure if VVD joins, then the number of Dutch people who will watch this league will go up. Remember, this topic wasn't even created before Ronaldo joined, so nobody even talked about it before him, and now we are nearing 700 pages, all within span of 1.5 seasons.

The more players that they add like that, would be better. Of course VVD isn't as nearly popular as Ronaldo, not even remotely, but at the very least he is popular a bit and getting a player like him would make them a lot more popular. This isn't just a single player thing, it is more like mindset, if they keep adding VVD type of players constantly, and have many players at that level, then there will be more people watching the league gradually.

Ramos should join Saudi Arabia, he has a job to destroy Al Bulayhi i.e. Al Hilal's player that bullying and taunting many top players including Ronaldo. Without Ramos, this shitty player want to get attention since he's making drama to top players. Ramos can give hard tackle or elbow his face that could make him injured for long time, to make him realize to not give a joke with other players.

However, if Ramos reject this offer, there's a chance Pepe will join Al Nassr sooner or later. This will be a good reunited if both Ramos and Pepe join Al Nassr, everyone will scared to have a problem with Ronaldo.

Before it was confirmed that Sergio Ramos gave left Sevilla and wouldn't renew his contract with the Spanish club, there was news that Real Madrid captain Nacho was going to Al Nassr this summer and now there's report that Sergio Ramos is on also in the radar of players that are likely to join Al Nassr this summer. Just like Inter Miami have a good relationship with Barcelona former legends I think Al Nassr will be seen as a club that's very passionate about Real Madrid former players if the succeeds to sign these two players that were once the captain of Real Madrid. It'll be a great reunion for Cristiano Ronaldo to see his former Real Madrid teammates join him at his Saudi Club and I'll be very happy to see that happen.
In the just concluded season of the Saudi Pro League, Al Nassr did exceptionally well but failed to win the league and many other trophies because of weak defense. They had Cristiano Ronaldo that was scoring a lot of goals for them but they still failed to win any trophy because they were letting many goals. Hopefully these two world class players signs for the club and improve their defense come next season.

We know that Sergio Ramos has left Sevilla after his one-season contract ended and this made Ronaldo and sporting director Hierro start working together to convince Sergio Ramos to join Al-Nassr. I am quite sure that Sergio Ramos will accept the offer and allow him to play football again before retiring and earn more money than before.

However, there is another possibility where Sergio Ramos will consider his options between going to the Turkish league, MLS or of course the Saudi league and if in the end he chooses the Saudi league the option will definitely be Al-Nassr. We know that Al-Nassr needs a leader in defense and Sergio Ramos is the answer.

Yes, the Saudi Arabian League is quite famous at the moment, because the teams in it have a number of top players from Europe. However, if you look deeper, the majority of top European players who have joined the Saudi Arabian League are only quite old players. So if you look at these facts, in my opinion the Saudi Arabian League is not yet at a stage of great popularity. Because in essence, players from Europe are most likely interested in joining a Saudi Arabian League club simply because the salaries offered by clubs are quite large.

Likewise with Virgil Van Djik's problem, I think the answer is quite clear. Because if he chooses a big salary and money, then he will definitely move to Saudi Arabia. But if for example he chooses a career, then he will definitely stay at Liverpool. So now Virgil Van Dijk seems to prefer to stay at Liverpool, because of course he is still really needed there. Apart from that, it doesn't seem like Liverpool will let Virgil Van Dijk go to any club at this time.

So, with this, Virgil Van Dijk certainly failed to be recruited by a team from Saudi Arabia.

Apart from that, if we compare Ronaldo and Virgil Van Dijk, it is certain that in terms of popularity or fame, the two are also different and in terms of age they are also clearly far apart. So if you think that Virgil Van Dijk will be easier to tempt with money than Ronaldo, I don't think that's right. Because we need to know that Virgil Van Dijk is still 32 years old, so he can definitely still be sought after by big clubs in Europe. Meanwhile, Ronaldo is quite old, apart from that when he left Manchester United, if I'm not mistaken at that time, none of the big teams from Europe were interested in signing him. That's why when an offer came from Al Nasr he accepted it. So basically the situation that befell Ronaldo and Virgil Van Dijk is clearly different.

No one knows about the future of Al Nassr just because they have great players at the moment, you can pay attention to Al Hilal they also have players who are no less great so regarding the future of the club no one knows who knows there are still clubs that are superior them next season if the club recruits some great European players who have good performance. Al Hilal, Al Ahli, Al Nassr and Al Ittihad will definitely make changes next season to compete in the Saudi Pro League competition and other domestic leagues and don't forget the AFC Champions League.

Actually I hope Al Nassr can win the title next season because as a Ronaldo fan I really look forward to my idol getting the title before he decides to retire, I feel sorry to see him and the club go home without winning a single title this season even though as a star player he became an important factor in the club's success. Hopefully Ronaldo's efforts next season will bear fruit. Al Nassr already has great players, not only Ronaldo, they must be able to make good use of him.

Saudi league is already popular with the number of players that joined last season so what more will a player joining will add. Van Djik is a a very talented player and also experienced and joining the league will be a massive boost to the league and the team he joins but the question is, is Liverpool ready to let Van Djik go?

They have lost Kloop already so if they lose Salah and Van Djik this season Liverpool may go back to being a normal average team in the league and challenging for the title maybe difficult.

Saudi teams are known for offering a lot of money to players and that way it will be difficult to turn down their offers especially when the player has limited time to play for.
