Though the financial package that comes with Saudi Arabia offers for big European players are always very tempting and too difficult to reject but I think a world class player like Victor Osimhen must look beyond the financial aspect of the deal and focus more on the impact to his football career of he accepts to join the Al Hilal.
The Saudi League has really improved recently and is now reported to be one of the most popular leagues in the world but that doesn't mean that it's anywhere close to the top five European leagues and playing in the Saudi League as a 24 year old striker is literally gonna stop a player like Victor Osimhen from being recognized as one of the best players in the world. I think he still has at least five more seasons to play in Europe before a move to the middle East

Apparently, it will be very interesting to watch this January transfer window. in particular, for Saudi Pro League clubs.
Talking about Mohamed Salah, this player is likely to remain a target for the Al Ittihad squad. Moreover, they had said that they would try it in the winter window next. It is not impossible if Al Ittihad offers an even more attractive offer. In fact, one of the Saudi clubs is adamant that they will bring in Mohamed Salah even if it is next summer.
If this is true, this situation seems to be a dilemma for Liverpool with the offer that Ittihad has submitted. if Liverpool releases their star player. which means, Klopp gets the funds to bring in the newcomers he wants. However, currently Liverpool's position requires this player from Egypt. The reason is, Liverpool will try hard to maintain their current position. In fact, even trying to overtake Man City is quite a difficult challenge. We'll see if Liverpool will keep him. or...

Speaking of Jadon Sancho, he is a young player full of ambition. even Sancho insisted on sticking to his decision, which in the end Ten Hag dropped him from the squad. So, I'm not sure if Sancho will be interested in playing in this competition. apart from that, Al Hilal will also take part in increasing the quota of other top European players. So, let's just wait and see what developments happen.

Amazing, SPL officials would fully support Al-Ittihad in getting Salah? very cool. If that's the reality, then yes M. Salah sooner or later surely he will join this league, especially if the offer from the Ittihad club is very large, it will benefit Liverpool too. Because usually these Saudi clubs will offer a lot of money to buy a player, and the salary M. Salah is also likely to be high at there.

Yes I agree with you even though this question is not aimed at me but I as an Al Hilal supporter will say that the defense is enough to be able to withstand attacks from Al Nassr even though CR7 is very smart to look for empty situations to score but look at how strong he has been from the start of the season Until now, Al Hilal has been able to compete undefeated and the only bad thing that Al Hilal has experienced is that the match ended in a draw, while Al Nassr is still inconsistent with 2 defeats and this is proof that the difference between the two clubs is in their defense.

Al Hilal and Al Nassr are going to play against each other in this season on the 1st of December but still, this can't be a reason to say Al Hilal will lose points against Al Nassr.
A team like Al Nasrr has players like Mane and Ronaldo in their teams but the thing about Al Nassr is they don't have as good teamwork as they have in Al Hilal and that's why I think Al Hilal got a better chance of beating Al Nassr even in the game they face each other in a few weeks.

The Saudi League was the dream for the many football players,because they selected many football player who was at the age of the retired from the footbal mathces.They also give more salary for the football player with good records in the past game.Actually the Saudi Arabia league had gave them the best salary for the good players like Mbappe,Ronaldo for their league.Even though this layers had their good salary from the European clubs,the Saudi Arabia club giving their dream salary to lay for the certain period of time.This was the reason for the Mbappe and Ronaldo had played the Saudi Arabia League.The football is not lik the cine field help the player to make the money till their death.So this was the important reason for the football player to sign more clubs on the sequential way.

Of course, we have heard rumors about him for some time, Al-Ittihad is a team that has great intentions to recruit him, but the recruitment plan did not materialize because Liverpool did not have enough time to find a replacement for Salah at Liverpool. In fact, in several mainstream sports media, I saw news that SPL officials would fully support Al-Ittihad in getting Salah.

Well, we can say that because we have as an example a great league like the PL, the Spanish League, among others, but I really think that the Saudi League has risen a lot in level, because it is even above the MLS, which is where Messi is. , and I think that Messi has had a lot of help, even within the MLS itself, referees and even the Ballon d'Or itself, which is very unfair that they gave it to him, for me it was something that is not deserved, and it has happened to Many players like Inisesta, Lewa, and others, each of us have our favorite players, for me Messi is a lot of pure talent, he is a source of pride for Argentine and Latin origins, as well as any Brazilian player who, wow, are the ones who They have imposed how football is played, also on the part of Europe, Italy, Portugal, they do their part, but I don't dare say that the League would now be one above the other, because the request I made was made by the Arabs to enter the UCL It was rejected, only because the Saudi League is not from Europe, it does not belong to any country on the Continent.

Although I would accept, because it is football, it is good football, and I think the level they have is not so low, because Portugal is highly qualified for the Euro and I think they will have no problems qualifying for the World Cup, I see that CR7 is very fired up , and on the other hand there is Messi who, thanks to Messi, is that Argentina is in first place in the South American qualifiers for the World Cup that has already started, and if Messi was not pro Messi Argentina would not have that record, for me it has almost been that Messi against all the teams in South America, and this weighs a lot, that's why I say that sometimes the leagues are the ones that can be very strong, but for me I evaluate which is the strongest soccer in which the soccer world cup wins and it is clear that it is Argentina and French football, that is what I evaluate and it has a lot of logic, I hope that for the next World Cup because the things that are shown with England and Saudi Arabia are shown in another way that surprises.

Getting even more "on their prime" players to Saudi League would definitely be interesting, could be something that would be getting to a point where it is going to be a lot more important. That would make the league actually quite amazing, not that the league is terrible, but it is nowhere near the top 10 that they claim they might be, I think a league like Belgium or Scotland still is far better, they are just that much better.

However, when it comes down to prime players, Saudi league has the most money, so for a player to reject 10 million and come here for 100 million, that could be very different situation, or reject 3-5 million range and come here for 30-50 range, that would be insane. I think that will definitely make this league a lot better. Players who are on their prime could make the difference there and put this league in top 10 easily, depending on how many of them could join, if we are talking about anything more than 10, that should be great.

He is 24 years old and if we look at the length of the contracts that the Saudis are offering, I think it would not be worth it for him to go and play in Saudi Arabia. This is because in my opinion, when the Saudis offer millionaire 3-year contracts, after the contract ends, they will make another contract with a very low value of money, because they know that the player will no longer have value and will not have more choice, then the player will be forced to accept any contract the Saudis want.

now when you look at the case of Victor Osimhen who is 24 years old, he should think about playing for another big team in an important league like the premier league and staying in that other team for many years, only then could the guy have chances of winning an individual prize and also his market value would remain high, but I doubt that if he reached 33 years of age and wanted to retire in the Saudi league he would receive the same contract offer. This much money that the Saudis are offering will not last forever, probably after Ronaldo retires from football, the Saudis will no longer offer these expensive contracts

and also the famous players will not be interested in going to play in the saudi league after ronaldo retires, from the beginning I saw this saudi strategy as something that would fail in the long term and the reason is very simple: saudi arabia has completely different customs and laws from Europe and America and many African and Asian countries that live in democracy and freedom of expression. So even if they offer a lot of money, the player doesn't have freedom, the players' families don't have freedom, a small mistake can lead to the player's family being stoning to death.

Al Nassr’s defense is not as strong as Al Hilal defense no doubt but the defense and attack complement each other so well that you wouldn’t notice easily but that poor defense is not the reason why they are behind Al Hilal, it is because of their poor start at the beginning of the season losing two matches back to back. Al Hilal has more probability to win but Al Nassr cannot be underrated because they have a very clinical attack. Their last meeting was in the Arab Club Champions Cup and Al Nassr won the match despite receiving a red card in the match and the only absent player in Al Hilal was Mitrovic. The question you need to ask yourself is Can Al Hilal defense prevent Al Nassr attack from scoring?

For example, Al Nassr is very favorite to win, but I don't think Al Nassr will win with a big score either. Therefore, perhaps if Al Nassr are very favorites to win, and then betting on Al Hilal with a handicap option for example +1.5, it maybe still a good option. Because ya, basically, Al Hilal is not a weak team at all because Al Hilal is still at the top of the Saudi Pro League standings at this moment. Therefore, even though Al Nassr is the favorite to win, but I believe that maybe Al Nassr will only be able to win with one goal difference.

When compared to Al Nassr, it was actually Al Nassr who had a bad start, yes 2 defeats they felt at the beginning of the season. While Al Hilal they at least still draw and collect 2 points from those 2 matches. But Al Nassr are now right below them with only 4 points difference. I can't wait for the meeting of these two clubs which will happen after the 2 matches they will play ahead, 1 in the SPL and another in the Asian Champions League. I think that match will be decisive for their position, because if Al Hilal win they will move away, and if Al Nassr win they will threaten the second place in the table even more.

I brought up their weak defense because that is exactly the reason why Al-Hilal is in front of Al-Nassr. When you argue that their defense is not the problem, well it can turn into a problem whereas Al-Hilal can win games with one goal scored. Al-Nassr almost always needs to counter conceded goals whereas Al-Hilal doesn't. If it stays like this throughout the season, it is more likely for Al-Nassr to have some more draws than it is for Al-Hilal.

It is very likely that Salah will end his career in the SPL. His current contract with Liverpool will end in June 2025 and various rumors about his move have been circulating since last summer, this could be his last season in the Reds uniform. Al Ittihad tried to bring him in last season, but we know that Liverpool are reluctant to let go of their best asset even though they received a fantastic offer. In the future, we certainly hope that it would be better for Salah to end his career in the SPL, considering that there are many things he can get before he actually retires.

Jurgen Klopp is certainly never happy with the departure of one of his golden children, however, management must be realistic by looking at better opportunities. Salah is no longer young, but clubs from the SPL want to recruit him at a high price. This is an opportunity before our eyes that must be utilized well to build a new generation in their squad.

I think salah is gonna be one of the incoming players in the nexts seasons i dont know if in the next one or in two ahead, because he still being so important for Liverpool team, so i dont know if they want to see him leaving to Saudi Arabia, but surely he is gonna end there.

I really appreciate predictions in everything you are thinking about right now, but to be honest, even though Al Hilal can win with any chance, I will choose to bet on double chance to avoid the risk of surprises happening because after all, surprises like ending in a draw can definitely happen because Al Nassr also a strong team in the SPL, while Al Hilal strategy is always to hold a draw if they cannot beat their opponent.

Ok and then you win a lot of money with very low odds because you always bet on the huge favorite. Sounds like a good strategy and I am asking myself whether the bookmakers fail to notice that these two teams win most of the time.

I am sure that Ronaldo wants to win this title even though it doesn't mean the world to him, but it would be one more country that he can claim to have won the national league. He will be the player with the most goals, but the title would be missing. 

The Saudi Pro League really wants top European player to participate with Saudi Arabian clubs, Saudi Arabian clubs don't thinks about expensive transfer fees because Saudi Arabian clubs don't have financial problems, maybe they think that bringing in lots of players from Europe will have a positive impact for the future progress of the Saudi Arabian club.

and I'm sure top European players will definitely consider joining Saudi Arabia because there they will be paid very large salaries, unlike European clubs.
However, that developing a career in Saudi Arabia is a little difficult because in Saudi Arabia it is not as popular as the leagues Europe, but if they want big salaries, Saudi Arabian clubs could be the main choice, but I am sure that as time goes by, Saudi Arabian clubs will become more and more well known and will be as popular as the European leagues.

Al Hilal will lifts the trophy despite the challenge they will face in the competition, its not going to be easy but good work results in excellent energy. Al Hilal and Al Nassr are the only SPL teams that I can place my wager on without having any doubts or complaints, these teams do actually deliver in league games and also in elite competitions with easy efforts exertion. Al Hilal have build their performance to be extremely good and there's absolutely no doubt about them having 90% winning rates. Al Hilal is the current best team in Saudi Pro League and they're competent enough to hold down any opposition they face this season.
