Al-Shabab FC is far behind, so I didn't see any tactics from them that would help them get to the top of the standings. They won't be able to go up to fourth position in the table, talkless of top table. It's going to be hard work for them. They will not meet, despite their best efforts to perform better. I don't think a good squad will challenge Al Nasar, who are now leading the table, for the top spot. Al-Shabab FC is well-positioned to win the Saudi Professional League because there is just one team that is within a single point of them.

Son is still on his productive age, and it will be dumb if he will be accepting it. Saudi pro league is the best place when you are willing to retire from football not to improve your experience. This is why saudi needs to target the players that were coming to their old age. Since they will not able to play in the pro scene again then they must be leaving to join another league. This is the main caused by saudi pro league can't attract the young players to join in the league.

It's caused by majority of young players are still very obsessed in getting as many achievements as they can. I have no comments if son has rejected this offer caused by he is still young enough to play in EPL.

Son Heung Min is still Spurs' priority player and I don't think they will easily let go of this player this season or even next season. His teammates really need his leadership on the field and indeed being a captain is a tough task, especially for one of the big six EPL teams. Son Heung Min is still at the top level as a football player in a competitive league and even though he is already 31 years old, that has not reduced his performance at all.

Al-Ittihad seems very serious about being able to recruit him even with a very crazy salary for an Asian player. Maybe they are not satisfied enough with the performance of Benzema, Kante and Fabinho so they need a hard-working winger like Son Heung Min to be able to penetrate more into the opponent's defense area. I'm still curious about this rumor and my prediction is that Son Heung Min will probably stay at Spurs for a long time.

@klidex seeing their performances this season I sincerely doubt that either one of them is even tempted to leave because both are scripting their own legacies and especially Son who was always under the shadow of Kane is now showing the world how capable he really is. Lastly the only scenario where these two can leave is if they have a fight with the club or coach over a new deal or the tactics but so far there’s no news of that happening so I don’t think the Saudi clubs will get them.

Son Heung Min is still quite comfortable at Tottenham Hotspur, he is a captain who is a role model for other players, I think Tottenham also have no intention of selling this player because he is an important players after Harry Kane left the club. If Tottenham also lose this player the club will have difficulty looking for a replacement so that Tottenham will continues to retain him before getting a suitable replacement, even Son Heung Min is on the list of candidate for the best Asian player so it is not surprising that the Saudi Arabian club wants him.

Mohammed is always wrongly linked with Saudi Arabia but unfortunately this player has no intention of debuting there because Liverpool still needs his potential. In the European League, he is not young but in fact he is still productive in scoring goal and being the top scorer in the Premier League so I think Salah will think about it when his contract with Liverpool expires in 2025, which mean M. Salah is already 33 years old, so that is the right age to leave the European league and moved to the Saudi league.

Yeah, he already rejected this offer with this all most chances again he will do this even Al Ittihad give him any luxury offer because he is playing for the game not money and currently enjoying many good things of his career which surely can't be replaced with money hopefully Al Ittihad will go for any other player because Son is one of the players who been never go through for the Saudi League just because of money.

Son is role model for the Asian players in Premier League which is one of the most competitive and toughest league and no other Asian achieve these honours and records which he is touching in his first year as Tottenham captain after the exit of Harry Kane which is now enjoying his career at Bayern Munich.

Currently Son Heung-min is one of the top scorers in the Premier League. And it could be said that his career is on the rise in the Premier League. So it will definitely be very difficult to persuade these players to join the SPL. Because for Son Heung-min it is certain that the offers that will come will only make him have to choose between a growing career in Europe or choosing a big salary in the SPL. Or it will be a choice between money and career. But if the amount of money offered is crazy enough then it will be very difficult for any player to refuse it. except those players who are not interested in money. I'm pessimistic about this. maybe it will be another two seasons from now before Son Heung-min will start to get interested.

A seductive salary is required for the South Korean superstar. Since he is 31 years old, he has the chance to perform at the top level for a few more seasons. If Saudi teams want to buy him, they have to pay a high transfer fee to his club. Heung Min Son, on the other hand, can be persuaded with a high contract.

Al ittihad has so many internal problem and this can't be solved only through signing the new coach. In fact, ittihad's performance has been declining a lot and it's not the same like when it was starting the season. So, i think that on chance for ittihad to go back again into the right track to compete for the saudi pro league title. The level of al ittihad compared to the nassr and hilal are far away. Im doubting benzema this time caused by he has the strongest power in the club since the owner was trusting him.

The ittihad coach sacked caused by benzema has been requesting owner to do that. This is the main problem that needs to be sorted out or im feeling that if benzema was the main problem since he has been trusted by the club owner and he tried to control everything in the club.
You will never see ittihad to go back again. Ittihad will not get son caused by he will not be willing to join in the ittihad caused by son chooses to continue his career in the totenham till end of his contract.

Im sure that if son will not be only targeting some money but he may be still targeting EPL trophy. I do remember how many times totenham was failed to win the EPL trophy but son's very loyal to the totenham coz this club made his name big.

Signing European players is expensive but these SPL clubs doesn't consider that, they go for good performance of the club, atleast they're witnessing the current situation of the club. SPL clubs are stronger than they merely seems, you know why? Watch their performance on the pitch, they're beyond the level of assumptions. Al Ittihad players are top and strong, they're able to filled in their space for the big tasks ahead. Rumors fast circulating about APL club interested in recruiting Tottenham Hotspur top player, Son over and I don't think this have a possible probability of happening.

He refused him in the summer but will he refuse next offers from Saudi Arabia including offers from Al Ittihad. Who knows about that because new offers potentially will be better than previous offer.

Son is enjoying his first season as a captain of Tottenham Hotspur and with it he is making history for South Korean football and even at bigger scale Asian football.

In history, no Asian football player worn a captain band of a Premier League club. Son is a first player from Asia is given this important role in Premier League.

Maybe one or two more seasons, Son will leave Premier League if clubs from Saudi Arabia continue to give him good offers.

Yes, Al Ittihad has quite lot of great players and of course they have spent very large budget to bring in some of these players, but in fact Al Ittihad failed to become one of the top team that could potentially compete for the SPL title this season.
Benzema is one of Al Ittihad mainstays and he has provided quite lot of goals for this team, it just that Al Ittihad way of playing is not that aggressive, they can't play with deadly attacking method and strong defense.
It should be from the Al Ittihad squad can show good quality.
If conditions like this continue to occur, Al Ittihad will never be able to achieve any achievements in the future.
Now they have stated that they are interested in Son Heung-min and have made fairly large offer to Tottenham, but they have forgotten that Tottenham really need Son Heung-min so it is impossible and unlikely for Al Ittihad to get him.

Son is currently very comfortable at Spurs as captain of the current Tottenham team. So I think Son will probably refuse again if another offer comes to him. Because for players who are not old enough, they definitely still want to stay longer at a European club and write their names in the history of European football. And even though Son is an Asian player, namely from South Korea. But he has succeeded in becoming the most important player at Spurs after Kane's departure. So it would be very surprising if Son suddenly went to an Arab club.

In fact, it is reported that Al-ittihad is also targeting Liverpool's current striker, M. Salah. But I think this one is the same. Because M. Salah is currently very comfortable at Liverpool. In fact, he is now the top scorer in the Premier League this season with Haaland. So M. Salah will probably refuse any offer of any size if an offer comes to him this season. Unless it's next season. Maybe something will be different.

Al Ittihad bot many famous and experienced players like Karim Benzema during the summer and they couldn't get good results from the players they got for their team even after getting their coach fired from this team Al Ittihad is seeking for another way to improve the team.
While they have loaded pockets, they are about to buy another player and this time they want to hire Son Heung-min, the superstar of Tottenham however I don't think if he will even accept this offer because even during the summer they wanted to give a 50 million euros salary to this palyer and he rejected the offer.

I tried to find the latest information regarding Neymar, especially as you said that Al Hilal was very angry with Neymar who never played anything else. unfortunately, I didn't get the information I needed. as far as I know, no player wants to suffer a prolonged injury like what happened to Neymar. after all, Neymar was injured while defending his Brazilian national team. so, what happened to Neymat was out of scenario. referring to past news sources, according to Saudi Arabian media, Arriyadiyah, Al Hilal will have Neymar back in its squad next season.  However, Al Hilal will remove the Brazilian star from the list to bring in other non-Saudi players. regulations state, that each league team can only have eight foreign players in the squad. it is very clear that Neymar will return next summer. even if there is other news, unfortunately I couldn't find it even though I tried looking for it in several searches. referring to transfermarkt, Neymar is still an Al Hilal player.

In fact, even without Neymar, Al Hilal is still very difficult for Ronaldo and his team Al Nassr to compete with. Al Hilal couldn't use Neymar's services much this season, but they still managed to maintain a safe distance from their rivals, Al Nassr. even though Neymar was absent for a long time, Al Hilal performed well because other stars were able to shine. Mitrovic was the player who shone the most on the front line with his 17 goals, and was only 3 goals behind Ronaldo. apart from that, Yassine Bono, Malcon, Milinkovic Savic, Ruben Neves and one of the local Al Dawsari players, could also be the backbone of the current Al Hilal team squad.

As for Benzema, I don't know exactly what the obstacles are in the Al Ittihad squad. however, it seems that Al Ittihad needs several newcomers, especially those who are able to support Benzema on the front lines. likewise with Al-Ahli, even though they are in 3rd place in the standings, the fact is that Firmino has not been able to show his capacity so far. currently, the Saudi Pro League competition is in a pause phase. and this is good for the teams competing in this League, to carry out evaluations.

Ronaldo still breaking records at the age of 38, he has no boundaries and he's weigh beyond the level of this current generation in football. Ronaldo is an icon which many footballers look up to him and he's not dissappointing anyone with his incredible performance, always present to forward his abilities with no challenge and if he had one, he overcome it without stress. I admire his pattern and he's ever going to be my favorite player in the European world of football. Cristiano Ronaldo is the top goal scorer in the calender year of 2023 with 54 goals netted so far, he's unstoppable.

This is a smart goal scored by Messi. You won't find goals of a similar kind scored by Ronaldo. Of course Ronaldo can't be completely dumb, but Messi is playing this game on a different level with his head. The passing, the ways he runs, when he slows down or accelerates. His free kicks are insanely precise, but not as hard as Ronaldo's. It is a question of taste. Those who prefer force over smartness will always prefer Ronaldo over Messi. Which is ok, why not. Everyone has their own favorite skillset and since Ronaldo and Messi are fundamentally different, I think it is normal that both have also their own type of fans.

well, knowing ronaldo and knowing that the next world cup will be in 2026, i'm starting to think that ronaldo's plan is to retire after he plays in the next world cup, that's because unlike messi who has already won everything in football, Ronaldo still hasn't achieved everything in football, he hasn't yet won a World Cup with the Portuguese national team, so he probably won't retire before he plays in the next World Cup, it even makes sense if he's chasing an achievement like world Cup. Unfortunately, in the last World Cup, the Portuguese national team, despite having a great squad with good quality players, was unable to even reach the final

and I highly doubt that the next world cup will be any different for the portugal national team, in my opinion, even with ronaldo, the portugal national team in the next world cup will not perform well and the factors that lead me to think about this are that the good Portuguese players currently playing for big teams will hardly remain in the same teams until the next World Cup and Ronaldo in the next World Cup will be very old, currently Ronaldo does not constantly suffer from long-term injuries, but when he is 40 years old With age this scenario could change and he could start to get very slow on the field. Whatever the case, time will tell us everything

There are only 3 goals difference between Ronaldo and Mitrovic in the current Saudi Pro League top scorer list and thus, of course, Mitrovic has a good achievement too and is not as bad as assumed above. By being in the second position in the current Saudi League top scorer list then yes, of course Mitrovic is a player who has a big contribution to Al Hilal and thus Mitrovic has a high level which is certainly above average too.

Moreover, Mitrovic is still 29 years old and it is possible for Mitrovic to become Al Hilal's goal machine as long as his contract is still active. So yes indeed, it is not right to think that Mitrovic is not appreciated and or not at the highest level, because here at Al Hilal Mitrovic is the first choice who has a big influence on Al Hilal's success this season.

Cristiano has been on World’s football stage for a decade and is still flourishing. We don’t have many players who can be able to achieve such a great feat he’s achieved and still achieving. Credits must be given to him on how he works and keep his body shape to achieve such feat. The SPL league we thought will reduce his work rate and all but instead it’s seeming that’s making him work very hard and wanting to conquer that league.

 The way he maintains shape is now making us believe CR7 will be agile for the World Cup in 2026 and that’s one thing the fans would love to see. But 2026 is still 2 years away and anything can happen let’s watch out the turnout of the surprises that CR7 could give us, he's a wonderful player and I believe he'll have lots to offer in his last World Cup.
