Topic: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 - page 616. (Read 118896 times)

Sadio Mane is one of biggest star players in Premier League before he moved to Bundesliga and Bayern Munich in the last season. He has been competing directly with Mohamed Salah for an award as a best African player in many years and recent years, he won against Mohamed Salah.

Signing with Mane means the Saudi Professional League will have another very successful player from Europe, one of biggest players recent years. It will help to increase the reputation and attractiveness for the league and it's amazing to see how the league has been growing very speedy. Within 8 months, since January 2023, the league has attracted dozen of star players from Europe including super star players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Sadio Mane.

Transfer prices for Mane from Liverpool to Bayern Munich, then Bayern Munich to Al Nassr are not expensive. It will be a very beneficial transfer for Al Nassr if Mane plays well for them. He is a professional player and he will not have problems with his life in Saudi Arabia as his religion matches the local religion. It will help Mane more easily focusing on football and contributing for Al Nassr.

Nothing is wrong if he tries to work and gain as much money as possible before his retirement. Player career span is very short and Mane knows that so with great chance from Al Nassr, it's wisely to accept it and fill his pocket. Playing for them within 2 seasons and receive salary which is nearly 8 to 10 previous seasons in Europe, that is unbelievable and can not reject.

IMO, the increase in Al Nassr performance is due to the presence of former European team players like Ronaldo and Brozovic, even though they did not score in the matches against PSG and Inter, these two players made a good contribution and could strengthen Al Nassr performance to welcome this season. on the one hand Al Nassr has also managed to recruit Sadio Mane who will further strengthen his performance in this competition match even though in the friendly match against PSG and Inter Mane has not appeared there but I am sure Al Nassr will be able to dominate this standings and get first place.

I have a rhetoric question for players who choose to join the Saudi League. While some of them may claim that they are not going there because of the huge financial incentive. How true is this? They claim that the Saudi League will get better next year or be one of the top 5 leagues in world. Isn't this some sort of delusion? Now Sadio Mane joining Al Nassr from Bayern Munich on a contract until 2027 and he'll play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. He or they, the players moving to Saudi think they will get better, they won't. They may end up dominating the Saudi League but when it comes to facing top tops in the world, what they would soon notice is that their skills, performance, and talents have diminished because they chose to play in a league where they is no actual competition. Younger players shouldn't move to Saudi especially those without any trophies. Sorry about my little rant.

Since Ronaldo joined the league, the saudi league has been more exciting. Now that several players from Europe have joined the league, it will be more competitive. In order to be ready for the forthcoming season, various clubs have all signed top-tier players from Europe. Even some European leagues may not be as competitive as this one.

The addition of Sadio Mane to the team will significantly improve their attack. With Mane, Ronaldo, and Talisca in attack, I believe they will be in the title race. However, I do have a small concern with their defensive line. They don't have a very strong defence, but perhaps before the transfer window closes, they will upgrade it.

The Saudi government originally had this strategy in place to support the league; they also wanted to establish it as one of the top leagues in the world, and so far, their plan is bearing fruit as they steadily move up the ladder. They make enormous offers to players in order to entice them to join, and when other players notice that there are other European players in the league, they will want to join as well, eventually raising the league's standards. Since every team is bolstering its roster with new players, there is currently no favourite to win the league. This ensures that the league will be fiercely competitive.

Mane appearance with Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga did not go smoothly since he was brought in from Liverpool for a transfer price of 35 million euros. Bayern Munich, who felt Mane had failed to meet the club's expectations, decided to release Mane to Al Nassr for a transfer fee of around 30 million euros. Mane presence will make Al Nassr attack line even sharper because Ronaldo and Anderson Talisca were already there.

After successfully achieving several individual awards and trophies presented to the club he defended at a high level, Mane can now focus on adding to his wealth at the age of 31. Big salary which reaches 40 million euros per year after signing a three-year contract he can continue social activities to advance his hometown. The money that Mane earned at Al Nassr could be used for the welfare of the people in his hometown by building important infrastructure for the benefit of the people in his village.

What I know is that Al-Nassr now has 2 additional top European players that they have successfully recruited in this summer's transfer market. Namely Marcelo Brozovic from Inter Milan and most recently Sadio Mane from Bayern. Both of them are great players who will certainly accompany the soccer superstar CR7. But it's not just Al-Nassr who is actively buying Europe's top players in this transfer market. But other clubs do the same. Especially the other 3 clubs which are under the same ownership as Al-Nassr namely Al-Ittihad, Al-Ahli and Al-Hilal. And one other club that is also actively hunting for European players is Al Ettifaq FC.

But so far, Al-Nassr has the most European players they have recruited from last season and this season. The following is a list of players recruited by the 5 clubs I mentioned above.

1. Cristiano Ronaldo
2. Marcelo Brozovic
3. David Ospina
4. Vincent Aboubakar
5. Seko Fofana

There will be an interesting match to come soon. There will be a dead or alive match between al nassr and zamalek. It's caused by zamalek has been collecting 3 points while nassr 4 points. Al nassr must get draw or win in the game against zamalek. Zamalek can be categorized as a powerful club in its domestic league. It's the time for al nassr to use the new strategy by putting mane and ronaldo as the key players to win the game. It's very interesting to see how ronaldo will make sure al nassr will be going to the playoff.

It's important not to undervalue Zamalek at this moment. Zamalek gonna give a tough game for ronaldo and friends. Talisca may also become a good duet for ronaldo in the match against zamalek soon.
Abdallah sayed has become a beast striker caused by it has a very good performance. He is now having the same stat as benzema in arab club champion league. This won't be a straightforward game for al nassr.
Al nassr must win or draw to pass it.

Indeed a great news! Another a pro player joining at Al-Nassr, and it's game time. The Saudi Pro team, along with some talented former European players, blend well and promised to deliver thrilling and competitive matches.
Sadio Mane has made a fantastic move, and you can see the smile on his face that says it all. Congratulations to Sadio Mane for signing with a new club where he'll get regular playing time. It's a perfect time for him to get back his form and confidence. I have believes that as he shares the field with Cristiano. Here's hoping very successful season for Al-Nassr.

Their presence in the SPL looks really interesting and also fun because Ronaldo was already in the SPL. But don't forget that Mane will also come to the SPL in the same team as Ronaldo, making Al Nassr even stronger and his rivalry won't be so easy to defend the championship trophy next season. And I also thought that the interest of all the players you mentioned to enter the SPL was due to seeing Ronaldo apart from seeing huge amounts of money.

Over time maybe other clubs in the SPL will also bring in great players from Europe when they prefer money rather than continue their career in the leagues in the European part. Because on average the clubs in the SPL have the power of money to attract players who are no longer thinking about their career in Europe so over time I am sure European players will continue to enter the SPL in every season.

Al-Nassr FC is a strong team. Their performance has improved. This team is now more stable than last season. I say this because with Al-Nassr FC I watched two friendly matches between PSG and Inter Milan. Al-Nassr FC is quite weak compared to Inter Milan and PSG. Still, they played well. And with PSG they drew goalless. In the match with Inter Milan, they drew 1-1. It is against these two big teams that they have been able to perform well. So it is expected that Al-Nassr FC will be able to continue this streak against the Saudi clubs. I will keep Al-Nassr FC club ahead to win the title next season.

didn't looked at Saudi so far, but too many players are going there to be ignored
team seems to be better and better with each signing, but one can't simply go over the fact that signings are usually based on popularization, not pure team quality

just look at CB pair, that is probably not worth playing in Championship in England, but there is obviosly no pressure to replace them at this point

Their league is going to be interesting and competitive, with the quality players they are having in different clubs, their will be improvement in every club’s performance, and am sure their own home base players will also want to improve in their performance, it will be a shame for them to see foreign player’s getting paid and performing well, but their own performance is poor, so their will be improvement in home base players also, which will make the league more challenging.

Al-Nassr has high chances of winning the league with the quality players they are signing and am sure they are still going for more quality players, I have confidence in them that they might end up winning the league, but as we can see other clubs are also trying their best to get quality players just for the improvement of their club, but from the current signings, I still see Al-Nassr as the strongest.

With the arrival of Sadio Mane, Al-Nassr's line-up was so terrible with so many other European players and now it is certain that Al-Nassr's squad is starting to be evenly distributed. Al-Nassr is definitely working on additional ammunition for other European players and indeed for the next player, management will definitely ask Ronaldo for advice on players who are worthy of strengthening the team. If we look at it, it is very suitable if Al-Nassr later uses a 4-3-3 formation and this formation is very synonymous with fast counterattacks which are so difficult for the opponent's defense.

The next season in the Saudi League will surely be interesting as Al Nassr will add more good players until Ronaldo stays. If Al Nassr have their good players next season, there is no doubt that they will win the trophy. Ronaldo, as a manager, has been trying hard enough to add good stars to his club. And there at Al Nassr all those stars are offered good amount of money to join this club. So we can definitely say that the next seasons will be really interesting and Al Nassr will have a chance to become champions in Saudi League that season.

@marcous the European player’s are going to dominate the league and I feel that it’ll effect the confidence of the local player’s as they won’t be able to match their intensity at least for now but in the long run I’m sure that other leagues will buy local player’s from this league because they would have been trained well under the European player’s.

Also it’ll be interesting to see who will be taking the lead Mane or Ronaldo because if it’s the former then yea Al Nassr will have a better chance but with Benzema also playing in this league anything can happen so wager carefully.

It's true that I don't doubt Al Nassr next season, because Ronaldo presence is very influential in the team. However, the current condition is that Al Ittihad is also trying to defend the championship trophy, by bringing in Benzema, Jota and Kante. Recently Fabinho has officially joined as well, it will be interesting to watch how this league builds more competitive intensity. Because this is a unique start, I think, because I've never seen a league built like this before.

I hope that other clubs in the SPL can also bring in players from Europe with financial support from their countries, because this will make the league have an even distribution of talent. It will eventually make the league run more competitive in its own right.

With the presence of European bright stars, the Saudi pro league will be more fiercely contested this season. Teams are not going to compromise as they seek outstanding performances from their new players. Sadio Mane was introduced as Al-Nassr's new player, all he needs is time to get acquainted with the players and also looking forward to a brighter future down here, new players to the squad, of course as time passes, they will relate just as smoothly as they should. Al-Nassr has already been tipped as the favorite to win the league title this season. I'd want to see him compete at a high level in the upcoming season.

Another player is coming to the saudi pro league.

https://www.90min.com/posts/lucas-zelarayan-departs-columbus-crew-saudi-pro-league-al-fateh

I would not be surprised if an unfamiliar name will accept an offer from saudi club easily caused by they will be able to play together with so many great football players in the world. Saudi pro league is still expanding it to be even bigger. Zerayan already confirmed to agree to join al fateh.
This is also adding to the list of new players that come to the saudi club. It's not only the club that is owned by PIF who has been doing massive buys to the european players. Some clubs that have not been controlled by PIF were also doing the same thing even though they were not buying popular player but it's quite good to add new players.

Im thinking about if saudi clubs gonna add new players soon. Their delegation kept hunting the new players in europe. So many offers have already been sent to the various players and saudi club just need to wait for its result.
This is a massive transfer by saudi club. It sounds baffling everything just changes in less than a year after ronaldo goes in.

The next season of Saudi Arabia Pro League is going to be very interesting as more popular players have been added by different teams. If I'm not wrong, it is Al-Nassr that is very strong in winning the trophy and spending much more than other teams on players. Both the players with the number 10 could make miracles. Also the management is trying to figure out and add players that already have good relationship with Ronaldo.

Now Sadio Mane has also been introduced by Al-Nassr as his newest recruit after previously bringing in Alex Telles. At the age of 31, Sadio Mane has received a contract duration until 2027 and this is a long-term contract carried out by Al-Nassr. He also uses the number 10 jersey which was his favorite when he was at Liverpool. The Ronaldo and Mane partnership will be one of the most dangerous in the saudi league next season and considering the two players have a good relationship, I think the two of them can work together to contribute more goals for Al-Nassr and win the saudi league title.
