During the summer transfer window, one of the Saudi Arabian clubs wanted to sign Mohammed Salah which he accepted the offer and told them to approach Liverpool for permission because that was the only thing that can make him accept to leave the club but unfortunately for the Saudi club, Liverpool rejected the offer.
There's been reports that one if the Saudi club are still trying to make an offer to sign the Egyptian during the January transfer window and I don't think the club's management would allow that to happen. Mohammed Salah's contract with the club remains valid till the end of the 2024/25 season and if the club is gonna let him go leave, I think it'll be next summer.

I think betting on Al Hilal is still safe even if we consider another team like Al Nassr in this league because we know Al Hilal was always best in the Saudi Arab and regardless of the bad start they had in this season, I think Al Hilal could get in the right place at first place of the table while Al Nassr can also have a good chance because of the more paly they have in this team like Ronaldo but I still bet on Al Hilal in this league.

That is what is very sad in world football, where star who has made football quite popular and known to all people in every country is actually treated unfairly by certain parties who have power or power within the football association.
He was considered unimportant to football and was even ostracized and thrown away several times, but all of this made Ronaldo more active in bringing glory to the name of the team he played for until he managed to win various wins and championship titles.
The greatest thing is that Ronaldo has succeeded in motivating many young players or the next generation who are trying to become great players like him.

Of course it is not easy for Al Nassr to appear in the Champions League, but when the opportunity arises they can all give their best, showing that Saudi football is also developing rapidly to the point where it has quality performance that can compete with European teams.
Plus, Al Nassr has great players from Europe who have experience in every league there, including the UCL.

We agree that Luis Castro is making a big effect at Al-Nassr. His Ronaldo strategy changes everything. Ronaldo is back and more dangerous in front of goal. Ronaldo's gameplay has advanced thanks to Castro. I believe Castro has added tactical finesse and team harmony, something Rudi Garcia lacked. My excitement comes from this team dynamics transformation.

Im excited for the huge match with Al-Hilal. Although Al-Hilal has the home soil advantage, Al-Nassr's newfound cohesion and Ronaldo's form make them strong competitors. I think Castro's strategic mind and the team's improving togetherness can close the point difference. It will be a nail-biter, and Im rooting for Al-Nassr to win and upset the odds!

SPL will picks more interest from Europe and becomes the center of attention when they succeed in bringing more top players, usually their signings is usually experienced players but this time around, they will mixed everyone with both young and old. Saudi Arabia have the resources to carter for these new players, so I don't consider it to be a problem rather its breakthrough for Saudi Pro League this present era. Saudi Pro League clubs are not relenting as they're keen on signing more European players in the coming transfer window in January.

Left one month before winter transfer window opening and have many Saudi Pro League teams are interested for signing many top European players. I think have two top players target for Saudi Pro League teams when winter transfer window opening from Jadon Sancho and Mohamed Salah. Current situation, Jadon Sancho have loss his position with Manchester United and his team confirmed will sell him when winter transfer window opening but waiting an acceptable from Sancho will agree for playing with Saudi Pro League teams or want extend by playing with European teams.

Mohamed Salah contract expiry the end of the 2024-25 season and he left one years half his contract with Liverpool, although Jurgen Klopp have confirmed will extend his contract but right now Salah still not get any deal with accept contract extend or will play for Saudi Pro League team exactly have excited offering with payment salary.

The Champions League is the most prestigious competition in the world right now right after the World Cup I believe. And it is going to cost a lot (time/money) to make another competition as popular as the Champions League right now. So the idea of the team taking part in another new Champions League or some other competition is probably not the best idea and most importantly that's not what the people want to see. So I think it is going to be a better idea to actually continue pushing the idea of these teams playing in the Champions League instead of any other competition, to be honest.

I will not say the European players that joined Saudi Pro League is a top player, they're mostly ex-top players since they're old and not as good as they were, although they're few stupid young players too e.g. Gabriel Veiga, Milinkovic-Savic etc.

Sancho is high likely will join this league since there's no good team want to sign him.

I'd better to bet 2 BTC on huge favorite team.

I am now very curious about what will happen when the player transfer window opens again in the middle of the season. Because it seems that SPL clubs are now starting to target other top European players such as M. Salah and Jadon Sancho. Considering that the funds owned by clubs in the SPL are very large. So bringing these two players is actually not a difficult matter as long as the player wants to. It's just that the problem is that players like M. Salah will likely refuse if an offer comes to him. Because currently he is also enjoying a quite good career at Liverpool.


But in yesterday's transfer market we got a lot of surprises after seeing so many top European players who were interested and ended up joining Arab clubs. Moreover, it turns out that the head of recruitment at the SPL is currently intending to bring in even more in the next transfer window. So my prediction is that there will definitely be more top European players joining the Arab League.

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the football legends who is still actively playing football and setting record after personal record for himself, he doesn't know how old he wants to play on the field because many of his friends have retired or become coaches, CR will most likely retire from football at al nassr.

The Saudi Arabian League seems to be bringing in more great players, there are rumors circulating about Casemiro going to Al Nassr, while Moh Salah and Kevin De Bryn still don't know what clubs in the SPL are interested in, the Saudi Arabian League is currently a league that accommodates many great players are almost retiring, so it's no wonder why the European Champions League is reportedly inviting Al Nassr to play.

You are right, this is the match we are most waiting for and we can't yet determine who will win what is certain is that each team wants to prove that they are the best and get 3 important points, I personally support AL-Nassr more I want them to win the League this season but of course it's not easy because Al-Hilal is the most consistent team so far meaning Al-Nassr has more efforts to defeat them. The first match will take place in December and Al-Hilal will be the home team, 2nd fight in May next year Al-Nassr as the home team so both teams have a chance to beat each other.

We are also waiting for Al-Ittihad with its new coach, after failing to compete to win the title this season then the coach should be fired, even though they have a new coach, it seems it will be difficult for Al-Ittihad to climb into the top 2 or even top 3 they were already 7 points behind.

The coach has a big role in the team's progress and also his tactical style will enable the players to develop better in every match they play. For Luis Castro, he was quite successful in making Ronaldo active again in scoring goals, where he gave Ronaldo a big role in every match, which means he will probably be able to work quite comfortably with Al Nassr this season. Previously Al Nassr fired Rudi Garcia because he had a disharmonious relationship with Ronaldo which made management fire him. And now luis castro has built a pretty good harmony in the team and he will succeed in providing progress for al nassr so far.

Al Nassr has the ambition to win a trophy this season and so far Luis Castro has succeeded in bringing Al Nassr to 2nd place in the standings and they just need to maintain their consistency so as not to lose points in the upcoming matches. Al Hilal vs Al Nassr will be the stage to prove the quality of the two best teams in the Saudi Arabian league. Well, in the current standings, these two teams are only 4 points apart and maybe it will be more exciting in the upcoming match when they meet at the beginning of December.

Anyone who's been following the proceedings at Al Nassr since Cristiano Ronaldo joined the club can attest the the fact that they have significantly improved from the their performance of last season and I think it's as a result of the new tactical approach of the club manager
They didn't start other season on a good note as they lost the first two league games of the season and that has been the reason why they're still not at the top of the league despite all their good results this season because there's a club who has not lost such number of league games and that club is Al Hilal. But judging from what we've seen this season, I think the Al Nassr is gonna fight for the title till the last day.

I don’t think Al Nassr have any problem now, the only reason they are behind Al Hilal is because they had a poor start, they lost two matches at the beginning of the season but ever since they have not lost a single match. The goals conceded is not the problem because they have won all the matches despite conceding goals, and in terms of good play and excellent performance they supersedes Al Hilala but they are just lucky to be ahead because they didn’t have a poor start like Al Nassr.

There seems to be something different with the Al Nassr team, they have a very different approach, mentality and pattern from that of last season and it is in favor of them so far. I just hope they don’t give up and keep fighting for the best

I am interested in Al Ittihad, after the departure of Nuno Santo from Al Ittihad. Currently the Al Ittihad coaching seat is empty, although now the Al Ittihad coaching hot seat has been taken over temporarily by the interim coach, Hassan Khalifa. However, it seems that he is more ideal with the offensive system that is implemented.
Hassan Khalifa was able to bring Al Ittihad to overthrow its opponent against Abha. Yep, even though Abha is a mediocre team. However, the interim coach was able to make his temporary team appear impressive. Benzema was able to prove himself by scoring a hat-trick, and one goal was scored by Igor Cornando.

To be honest, I just looked at the statistics of the Al Ittihad squad, which has been missing from our discussion for a while. I mean, most of the other members focus on Al Nassr and his Ronaldo. others, Al Hilal with Mitrovic. So, I decided to look for another theme. and yes, Al Ittihad seems very interesting. as I often say, Nuno Santo is a typical coach who chooses to play safe or defensive. That's why Al Ittihad is not showing good progress. Likewise with Bezema, his name is rarely heard in our discussion in this discussion. Most of us assess its performance as decreasing. However, I remain adamant that the coach is the one who is not competent enough to maximize his team's squad. although, last season he was able to bring Al Ittihad to win a trophy. but what I don't like is the system, it's monotonous and only relies on counter attacks. play offensively, if you face a team that is far from their level.

Well, let's wait and see which coach the club management will appoint. Will it still be led by an interim coach, or will they bring in someone more ideal.

There is really no discussion that Ronaldo is great to have on the team for Al-Nassr, of course he is and he would have probably helped a lot of teams in Europe as well if he decided to stay there, but he went for the money and that was his personal choice.

Whether he is the world's best player, that is a question that everyone can have their opinion of. But I think anything else but being the best scorer in the Saudi Professional League would have been a bad performance by Ronaldo. I think that is what everyone expected.

Watching Cristiano Ronaldo, the world best player play football gives me joy and puts a beautiful smile on my face. Ronaldo style of the game is quite different from the rest players, he's outstanding and go for goals and not impressive skills, he scores and gives points to Al Nassr this season, permit me to say Al Nassr are lucky enough to have him in the team. Al Nassr have to work on their defendlines because they have conceded much unexpected goals. Al Nassr is behind Al Hilal on the SPL table and they're working extremely harder to level points with the team that sits #1 on the table, we all know it's not going to be easy.

I don't think this has anything to do with Ronaldo having more freedom this season than last season. I doubt that the coach last year limited him in his decision making on the pitch. Ronaldo can always play whatever he wants. But as you can see Ronaldo scores more and yet they are behind. They have the most goals but concede about twice as many goals as Al-Hilal. That's a problem they need to work on.

It’s no news that football governing bodies like UEFA and FIFA all have a different perspective towards Ronaldo and that could be seen as envy and that has shown both in officiating and award ceremonies, there was a rumor to include Saudi Clubs into the UEFA competition. This alone won’t be any sort of an easy task to do.

 It’ll have to cause a  change to the competition’s name except FIFA would create a different competition where both European and Asian teams will be allowed in a football contest, and I doubt if they would do that cause alot of players are already complaining of being  overworked out, which is leading to too much fatigue lately. However, UEFA should come out and clear the air and save Cristiano from his critics in the media.

One can even believe that Ronaldo is a 38-year-old player because this player is even shows better performance than years ago when he was younger, we can't forget that Ronaldo is the top scorer in the national teams with 127 goals, and this this not easy to break this record. I think Al Nassr is very lucky to have a player like Ronaldo and regardless of his age, they should extend his contract for a long time.
