If they offered Lewandowski an annual salary of $200 million, would Lewa reject it? The only thing Lewa and other players who go to Saudi Arabia earn is money. What else would you care? Saudi Arabia is a country that offers players high amounts of money and they are currently revolutionizing the world of football. I think Lewandowski will take his place here next year.

He can at least get money as his benefit to play in the saudi pro league. He was old and the big club will be only putting him on the bench. It will be far better for lewandowski to go to the saudi pro league instead of staying much longer in the club like barcelona.
Lewandowski can still try to express his passion in the football by playing against legendary players who have joined in saudi pro league. This is a sense of choice owned by him.

So, do you think it's good for lewandowski to be benched in barcelona due to his age? Barcelona is also willing to sell him. Then the money raised by selling him is going to be used to buy guimaraes from newcastle.
It proves that if barcelona indirectly said enough to have him in the club. I think that it's wrong to generalize anyone was joining in the saudi club due to the money.

In fact, lewandowski is starting to be a useless player there. What's the point for barcelona to keep him much longer in the club? Regeneration is a must. barcelona must sacrifice him.

The team coached by Steven Gerrard, namely Al-ettifaq, has continued to get bad results in several weeks and even since last month. In fact, in yesterday's match they lost again to Al-Taawoun with a score of 2-0. Dembele and J. Henderson don't seem to be able to adapt well to the game scheme in the Arab league, especially at the Al-ettifaq club. So far they have not shown a good performance for their team. Even though at the start of the season they were playing comfortably, but now they seem to be feeling uncomfortable and the club's performance is getting worse.

Al-Nassr may indeed be favorites again in the match against Al-ettifaq. But I probably wouldn't predict that this match would be easy for Al-Nassr. Because after all, Al-ettifaq actually has quite good squad depth. It's just that they lost the good performance they had shown at the start of the season. They are trying to get it back but still haven't succeeded so far.

Al Nassr will face Al Ettifaq this Friday, and my prediction is that this will still be an easy match for Al Nassr, because even though Al Ettifaq has some pretty good foreign players, they still haven't been able to show an impressive performance and it is very possible that this match will to determine the fate of Steven Gerrard who was unable to bring his squad to a good performance, especially in five matches only getting three points is a bad thing, Al Ettifaq didn't even score a single goal in the last few matches, with Al Nassr's performance being quite good it is very possible that they will score more than two goals and can also protect the goal from being conceded, but a result of 3 points in this match will still not bring Al Nassr closer to Al Hilal because the point difference is already quite far.
Ronaldo will score another goal to move away from the number of goals scored by Mitrovic.

Lewandowski definitely still wants to play in big competitions like the Champions League with Barcelona. So he will definitely not rush to move to any team when he currently has a good opportunity to play in the Champions League. Every European player always wants to play in the Champions League. Even some players who are in clubs that are relegated in their domestic leagues always move to better clubs that have a chance of getting into the Champions League. I think Lewandowski does too. He definitely still wants to play and achieve many things at his age, which is no longer young. 35 years old is actually not that old compared to Luka Modric at Real Madrid who is 38 years old. So I think Lewandowski will still be able to play European football for at least another 2 or 3 years. But I agree that this season Lewandowski is really not as good as in the previous season at Barcelona. And I personally still want to see more top European players in the Arab League, but the problem is that not all players want to come here.

The good thing for top European players who come to the Arab League is that their popularity doesn't seem to be decreasing even though the Arab League is still considered not a big league. It looks like even more countries are now fighting over broadcast rights for the SPL. And as the SPL becomes more famous, I think European players will start to think less about moving to the SPL.

I think it's time for Lewandowski to go to Saudi Arabia and spend some rest time. Dozens of Saudi teams wanting to transfer him will be waiting at the door. The money offered to him will be very high. As he lives the last years of his career, Lewandowski will think that this decision is logical.

Lewandowski can still have good career in Europe and he can be the best player for Barcelona, just look at him this season he has provided 8 goals with 3 assists in La Liga with Barcelona even though for the UCL Lewandowski cannot perform optimally.
Moving to Saudi could possibly happen but it would be better if Barcelona contract expires in 2026, for now Barcelona still needs Lewandowski because they are far behind Real Madrid.
I not sure Barcelona will easily let go of Lewandowski if they are interested in Saudi team.

Lewandowski would only earn larger amount of money if he played in Saudi and titles might be more difficult for him to get.
But it all depends on which team will bring him in and if it is big team that always dominates like Al Hilal then it is possible that the title can still be won.
If you compare with Ronaldo, everything will be very different and Ronaldo will always get the best place anywhere.

So far there are still three top players who have always been unsuccessful with the offers made by the Saudi team, namely Mbappe, De Bruyne and Mohamed Salah.
These three players are really being targeted by the Saudi team with very large salary offer.

Are you saying that money is important for Cristiano Ronaldo, but that is not the case with Robert Lewandowski? In the end everyone cares about money. And let's not forget that Lewandowski has at the most 2-3 years left of his career (he is already 35 years old). So this is like the ideal time to move to one of the rich clubs in the middle east. But then I am not sure whether he will agree to a deal from Saudi. A few months ago, one of the Saudi clubs approached him with a €150 million per year offer, but he rejected it outright.

I think that is what he "should" do, it's obvious that he will not have a career like he had at Bayern anymore, maybe he shouldn't have gone to Barcelona all together, if he stayed at Bayern then he could have continued to score, and this last 2 seasons would be fine for him, they would do whatever they can for him.

However, Barcelona move doesn't look that great for him, last year he was decent and not great but this year he is not even decent and he will not be wanted. If Barcelona gets a good offer for him, they would be crazy to not sell him, and if Lewandowski doesn't want to go I can understand because it's a different type of thing, but if he does really go then we could definitely see him do a lot better without a doubt.

And how would it benefit Lewandowski if he moved to Saudi Arabia? You said he needs to do that, but what is the benefit for him? He isn't playing well in Barcelona, I agree. But he would not gain anything if he moved to Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo did, because money is everything to him. But there are people with a heart in their chest, listening to it.

I will say it might not be because of culture, he doesn't understand English or perhaps he might understand a little but he doesn't know how to speak English or he doesn't just care about them because I see that Ronaldo is a Portuguese person and over the years, he has improved and that is why he is able to have more partnership deals than Messi. I think Messi is more love in Adidas and  it is an America biggest sport wear company but did that influence him to learn? No. Inter Miami should have even made him take classes but he enjoy his lowkey life.

Ronaldo has been in Saudi Arabia and he is happy by his decision and nobody has seen him fight or quarrel people eve when he is known for stubbornness and arrogant, if Messi want to go to Saudi Arabia which I doubt, he can go and will not consider cultural difference as a factor that will stop, we have plenty of more Christians that are playing in Saudi and they are not move or concerned about their culture; they celebrate their days with them which even give them more money. Football now is all about the pocket and not some random emotions.

It is good news for SPL fans. SPL will be more competitive if there are more top players to join SPL in January. It will be great to see Lewandowski, Modric, or other top players to continue their career in SPL. They must be aware that SPL is also a competitive league in the world, there are some strong teams in SPL that have good quality of squad. Al Hilal, Al Ahli, Al Nassr, and Al Ittihad are the teams who have some top players in their squad. It is interesting to see where Lewandowski, Modric, or other top European players to join. I still assume that they probably will join one of the strong teams in SPL. Since Al Nassr is the team which has the highest ambition to win the title, I think Al Nassr probably tries to negotiate with the players.

True. Having both old and young players will keep the balance on the team. If all the players are young players, the team probably has a weak mentality because the young players have lack of experience. But if most the players are old players, they will get difficulty to be competitive due to the lack of spirit from old players. So, having both the old and young players are the best option for a club/team.

Yes, Barcelona has a problem with their financial stability. That's why they probably don't buy many players, they even plan to sell some of their players.

I don't think Lionel Messi's decision not to join the Saudi league last summer is majorly caused by his cultural and religious differences with what is believed to be popular in the Arab nation rather it was caused by his personal relationship with the owner of his current Major League Soccer club David Beckham. Also the authorities of the Saudi League somehow do try to bend some of the known rules of the country to allow football superstars to join the league just like they did with Cristiano Ronaldo who's not legally married to his partner Georgina Rodríguez but was still allowed to move to the country with his partner. Robert Lewandowski is aging and can't be performing like he was doing in days at Bayern so a move to the Saudi League wouldn't be a bad idea for the Polish striker.

After he joined Barcelona last year, he helped the club win the Spanish La Liga title in his first season with the club but has not been that effective this season season because of injuries he's suffered as well as decline in form. The Saudi clubs offer more financial rewards than any other league in the world at the moment so I think he'll chose them if he decides to leave Barcelona

Lewandowski needs to move to Saudi or whatever place faster than he imagine, Barcelona doesnt suit good for him this season and he is becoming old. I think is a win-win transfer for everybody, for the player for Barcelona and for the Saudi league to count a new high value striker.

For players whose contracts expire in june 2024, their clubs will push them away in the january transfer window. Because as is known, if they wait for the end of the season their transfer status will be free, and the club will automatically not get any money from the transfer agreement. But of course it has to be in line with the offers coming in from SPL clubs. I see several names of European star players who have been linked with a move to the SPL.

It's a new experience to continue your career before deciding to retire, and get a salary and luxurious facilities with easier competition. An offer that is very difficult to refuse, except for players who consider family factors. apart from that, I think all players who are entering their old age will definitely be interested in moving, especially now that Saudi has become a tourist destination for tourists.

But I think, for the January transfer window, it looks like the top European players will still stay in their teams at least until the end of the season. Therefore, I personally not so sure that the big SPL teams will bring in top players in the January transfer window and ya, then their transfers will be maximized for the new season or next season later.

But yes, even though the SPL elite teams will still be able to bring in top players but ya, I believe the players they bring in will only happen to old players. At least it has entered retirement age but, because the SPL elite teams still ready to pay dearly then ya, the old players will be willing to keep playing even though their age is no longer prime.

There has been news that some key players will be moving to the Saudi Arabia league when the transfer window opens in January. Players like Robert Lewandowski, Luka Modric and some other experienced players have been linked to the SPL. Some of these transfer speculations have been debunked by the players and clubs, however as usual we expect to see players move to this developing league because of the financial rewards. The SPL is not restricted by financial rules like European leagues so they can always get players at any cost.

Every team indeed needs a blend of both young and mature players. The young players will contribute strength and skills to the team while older players will add experience to the club. But Barcelona have other important issues that are bothering them. The club needs to cut costs to maintain a sound financial standing. That is why some senior players will have to go and give way for younger players to gain experience. But it is also paramount not to push out all the experienced players because their input will still be helpful.

SPL clubs will certainly continue to look for new star players from Europe and that will not stop before their target is completed. The Saudi League has a long-term project and one of its big investments is in football and that is why they are so enthusiastic about introducing their country through football. Now the arrival of the previous star players has made the Saudi league famous and maybe if they continue to bring in players who can increase exposure in the future then they will not hesitate to bring him in.

Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad, and Al-Ahli are the 4 giant teams in the Saudi league and they are definitely already preparing plans to recruit star players in January. Players from the EPL are still of top interest to Saudi league clubs and can't wait to see those star players leave to earn bigger wages.

Im still rarely seeing maximin contributed a lot for the club. He was a good winger and dribblers but he was not as good as you think caused by he was only contributing a few goals. Feiha was just a weak team and it was not comparable to the its opponent.
No doubt that al ahli was destroying feiha with huge scores as for the final outcome. Saint needs to do even better than the current performance. Sometimes, i saw that how he was very often missing the ball.
He has good dribbles but he needs also to use his ability in controlling the ball perfectly during the process of dribbling the ball.

I'm still waiting to see what the SPL clubs will do in this transfer window. As we know they made a big breakthrough by recruiting many star players who had to spend their money in fantastic amounts. Not only in transfer fees but also it concerns the salaries that players get with them. But it paid off when their league became more popular now, and I'm sure many of us started to highlight the SPL after many European players came here, yes one of them is me.


Yes it's a logical policy when Barcelona are more concerned with young players for their future, but if the squad is completely populated by young players it's also not good, still they must have a balance in the squad between young players and senior players. Because if they do that, it will be a risk because I see young players also not fully able to stabilize in maintaining their performance. and also the most important thing is that their mentality is still very questionable. For a big club like them, mentality will be very necessary to support their game.
