Those three really made European football very interesting especially Ronaldo and Messi that's been battling for supremacy for decades the champions league was really interesting when those two were involved, i think Neymar was very interesting to watch while at Barcelona along side Messi than at PSG, he had lots of injury spells that hindered his performance while playing in the Champions League and even with a squad invoving world class stars like Messi, Neymar and Mbappe they couldn’t win the Champions League.
 I think Neymar has realized that his playing days in an European team is over and he won't get lots of chances due to the recent singings by Enrique so therefore he has to seize an opportunity to move to where he'll definitely see more playing time and also earn a more an better improved salary than at PSG, he'll be earning a whooping sum of €160m over two years which is 2x of what he earns at PSG.

Unfortunately, the football career of Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior will finally come to an end in the Saudi professional league. It was predicted that he is a good competition for Ronaldo and Messi but he failed to perform up to expectations due to injuries and an unruly lifestyle. He experienced so many injuries during his playing time mostly in PSG which affected his performance and the number of goals he scored. He was also rumored to be disrespectful to both coaches and his fellow players. And he lived a wild life of partying and womanizing off the pitch. All these issues affected his performance and achievement. But he has had some good times in his football career and made the right decision to move to SPL. He will earn more money which will help him have a prosperous retirement.

The flow of players over that league is not because Cristiano Ronaldo made moves that league, the main reason they are moving in Is all because of the big money they will be paid.  Most big Brazilians ended their wonderful football game career at a very early stage and Neymar is yet another to join the group of Brazilians to do so. He is the third best player in the world after Messi and Ronaldo but he was always injured and was not lucky enough to be the hit man for Barcelona. He was always under the shadows of Lionel Messi.
Pleased to see he also joined in the Saudi's.

My choice will be :

Al nassr
Al hilal
Al ittifaq
Al shabab

Those clubs have the biggest potential to win in the first week of saudi pro league.
4 favourites with the majority of European players transferred, so I agree they will probably win in the opening week of the Saudi Arabian League. Convincing again An Nasrr they have just become Arab Club Champions. The transfer of the above 4 clubs makes the Arab League has a tremendous attraction for sponsors, and spectators. But there may be a lot of worry they will be like the Chinese League which then has no competitiveness anymore at this time. But Hope it doesn't happen.

The result makes me feel unsatisfied. Won 2 lose 2. I didn't even expect al nassr to be beaten by al ettifaq since this club was playing worst at the pre season match but ettifaq able to beat al nassr with lesser score. It surprises me.
I don't know why al nassr was performing so badly like that. I thought if nassr will be doing even better than it. In fact, that if al nassr is far superior compared with ettifaq but since this is football and anything can happen.

I can't even believe it. Even though it was the first game but it's very disappointed result. Another team like al hilal and al ittifaq performing so well during the match.

Al nassr's performance is far below my expectation yesterday

This is just like a done deal since personal terms has been agreed from both parties, and it is only on a successful deal that players do go for medicals.

Nice move for Neymar Jr, staying at PSG will not be interesting for him seeing all the players he was competing with during their own time are not more playing in the Europe, and the squad structure of PSG did not look competitive enough compared to last season.
I came to this thread to ask if anyone has seen someone like Neymar Jr here. But on opening this thread, it is his pictures that flooded here. It is indeed a pity that Europe has lost once the three mightiest footballers (Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar).
Honestly, I'm not going to enjoy champions league this season. The departure of Ronaldo and Messi didn't pain me as much as this of Neymar is paining me.
Who will spice up the game, who will flare and garnish the round leather. Well, I'm diverting my attention to SPL. Football is shifting but we do not understand.

Cristiano Ronaldo will not play in this match but Al-Nassr chances remain better with Sadio Mane playing between the starting eleven. I wonder if they will win with 3 goals like Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli did previously. All these games ended with 3 goals to 1 except Al-Ittihad didn't received any goal.

Al-Nassr's victory is not inevitable because Mane cannot accomplish it alone and has only recently joined the team. He may not yet be properly integrated with the rest of his teammates. The trio of Ronaldo, Mane, and Talisca is far superior and will ensure the squad's success far more than Mane leading the team alone. Because their biggest competitors are already winning, every match is critical for them right now.

Al Nasr hired many players in this transfer window from European teams and they spent too much money on it while their main competitor, Al Hilal, didn't spend this huge amount of money compared to Al Nasr and now it seems Al Hilal wants to hire Neymar in the next season to race with Al Nasr.
However, Barcelona fans are not very sad because Neymar didn't return to the team but is going to do the medical tests and sign his contract with Al Hilal soon.

I'm glad Neymar is leaving the European League to join the Saudi Arabian League. I believe he is no longer valued and has lost his worth there. Joining the SPL will present him with fresh challenges. But, with his calibre of player, he won't have too much trouble understanding the team and playing well with them. Since the majority of European players have joined the league, it will be a more enjoyable league to watch.

Saudi Premier League Round 1 Al Ittehad vs Al Read match ends first half but neither team scores. The result of the game will be seen at the last minute according to which team will perform better in the second half. Although Al Ittihad is formed as a strong team because of a great player in this team Karim Benzema can be a great attacking player. Real Madrid star Karim Benzema can certainly score for Al Ittehad if he can attack well at the end. Most people bet on today's match with Al Ittehat backing him. I think since there was no goal in the first half but going into the second half surely Al Ittihad will attack well and score a goal to declare the team the winner.
Matchday 1 for the Saudi Arabian Professional league kicked off today with the league champion firing in full cylinders. The first half ended in a stalemate but goals from Hamdallah and Coronado sealed the game for Al Ittihad. Another interesting game of the day was the Al Ettifaq and Al Nassr match, I don't understand how the SPL operates but if it were in europe, there's no way a team that played a competitive game on saturday would play another game on monday, because there will be lesser time to recover from the previous match and prepare for the next game. Although, Al Nassr opened the score sheet in the first half with a goal from Sadio Mane but the home side fought hard for a comeback and won the game.

Well, exactly as I predicted before Al Nassr failed to gain 3 points Al Ettifaq managed to beat them so this is the reason the betting market favors Al Ettifaq based on the odds apparently there is no Ronaldo in the line up reportedly he was not included in the lineup because he was resting after bringing Al Nassr to the championship a few days ago, as we know Ronaldo's contribution was maximal in the last match so he needed more time to rest and the coach relied on Sadio Mane in attack, it started well when Sadio Mane scored the first goal in the 4th minute but unfortunately in the 2nd half Al Ettifaq managed to turn things around and scored 2 goals until the final score was 2-1 now we know how the impact and effect when Ronaldo is not in the line up, did any of you bet on Al Nassr to win?

Anytime I'm about to start discussion of Saudi Arabia Pro league teams, I get annoyed with prefix of AL. Grin Al-Nasr has about 10 foreign players they splashed some euros and dollars compared to Al-Hilal that has 7 which were less performing than them prior to when they came to Saudi Arabia and that's why Nasr has more expenditures than Hilal but they just won the Saudi Champions trophy for the first time, it's worth it think for spending lots to be able to convince Ronaldo to come to Saudi Arabia.

Barcelona fans should be Happy that Neymar didn't comes back to Barcelona because to signed a high class player is easy but to three weekly allowance is the real deal, having huge debts just to win leagues is foolish, they have to win Champions League cup back to back to be able to clear all those billions debts, it's better that Neymar went for Al-Hilal than adding to the club weight debt.

Neymar's quality and status will definitely need something huge to convince him to leave European football and accept the offer of joining a Saudi Arabian club and that's why Al Hilal management went all out by offering a huge deal for the Brazilian which was convincing enough to make him join the club.
If he's finally signed to the club, he'll bring experience and quality that'll help the club become as competitive as possible
It's hard to predict the transfer situation this summer, the cash push from the Saudi Pro League adds to the list of competition for European clubs in the hunt for players. How can PSG squad be without Neymar and Mbappe strengthening, I don't think they will be able to say much in the UCL with the current situation, unless they have great luck.

Neymar's move, if true, will add to the list of star players who have moved to the SPL, gradually the SPL will become an attractive and competitive league. But I hope this move will not shift his position in the Brazilian national team.

As far as I know, all the media is already trumpeting the news that the contract has already been signed. I think it's not bad for the player, there was a lot of pressure on him at PSG from the moment he came.... In his new team he will get 150 million a year, that's 6 times more than in France, an impressive amount.... Moreover, the player still has his number 10, which is also good for him. The only thing left is the examination and adaptation to the team.

Al Hilal also spent way too much in this window too in fact the only club to buy more European players than them was Al ittifaq. Al Hilal acquired both Koulibali and Mendy from Chelsea and Also both Neves and miliankovic Savin from Lazio. The only difference is Al Hilal do not have many players been on huge wages when compared to Al Nassr. Moreover they do not need the Service of Neymar because Talisca, Mane and Ronaldo will do the work for them. Adding Neymar will only create an unnecessary competition which is not yet needed in that competition yet

Odds are high because some important Al Nassr players are not in the squad including Ronaldo and Talisca who are quite important players so this may be what the bookies consider.
Ronaldo and Talisca are given chances to recover after some matches recently in Arab Champions Cup. Especially Cristiano Ronaldo who is already 38 years old and must be used wisely to prolong his career. He is old enough to be more vulnerable with injuries and Al Nassr should not use him too much and cause exhaustion that can result in serious injuries.

Quote
Sadio Mane is in the line-up now but I'm not sure he'll help his team win given his opponent is playing with a full first team squad, so I'd suggest it's more risky to bet on Al Nassr. Maybe you can bet on both teams scoring this goal is very possible.
Mane just came to Al Nassr and he needs more time with them. He is a strong man and younger than Cristiano but his role is important for Al Nassr in this season. So they must have plan to use Mane, when to use him, and when to allow him resting time. It is important if they want to harvest best contributions from Mane.

Why its alnassr with such high odds? I know maybe some players doesnt take part, but 3 its very high taking into account how powerfull its Al Nassr.

Im not confident to bet on this league, do you think i can start follow and expect a same regularity as a european one?

In any case, it seems that we should not underestimate Al Ettifaq too much, because Al Ettifaq current head coach is Gerrard. Indeed, Gerrard did not have a good record when Gerrard coached Aston Villa in the Premier League. But in fact, Gerrard had a good record too when Gerrard was head coach at Rangers in the Scottish Premiership. Thus, it seems that Gerrard has good abilities when Gerrard is a head coach outside the Premier League. Therefore, I think it is still reasonable regarding the available odds like that, about Al Ettifaq @ 2.63 and Al Nassr @ 2.60, of course those are good odds. So, if you still confident about choosing Al Nassr then of course, it would still be good to be an option in your bet with good odds like that, right.

Neymar agreed with Saudi club's proposal, joining Al Helal!

Great news for Arabian football lovers Neymar jr. Joining Saudi Arabian clab Al- Helal. French media LeKip Tackle says, Neymar jr agreed to join Al-Helal for two years. He proposed joining the club for 160 euros. Rumors were heard for some days that Neymar is going to join the Al Helal club.The poster boy of brazil will leave the French club PSG and return to the Spanish club Barcelona, newsed in many International media But that was not true. He joined Saudi Clab Al-Helal.

I just checked this news and yes some local media have published this news, @Fabrizio Romano also said the agreement was getting closer, n fact it is estimated that all the processes will be completed in less than 24 hours lol. I'm surprised it all happened suddenly, even though we haven't heard any news about this rumor before If the deal goes through then Al Hilal will be one of the clubs to challenge Al Nassr for the title and also Ittihad.

But I haven't found how much the transfer fee is, I just saw that this will be a new record between 150-200 million while for the salary range we don't know yet because it is still in the process of checking the contract.
When Neymar joined PSG, he was the most expensive player as the deal ended for €222 million five years back. He had helped the team win five titles and now he had confirmed his move to Al-Hilal. More popular players in every team had made the Saudi Arabia Pro League very tough and to give give better match watching experience. For now the negotiation is going on and it is close around $190 million package.

Yes, that is the latest move by Al-Hilal and I think this offer have more chances that it will happen compared to their first two moves where they attempted to acquire Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi of which both stars mentioned have turned down their deal specially Mbappe who was offered a humongous amount for just a year with Al-Hilal.

Currently, both camps are still finalizing the deal and if this will be pushed through, which I think will, Neymar is said to earn 6x more compared to what he earned during his time with the PSG.
Saudi club Al-Hilal is trying to get first Lionel Messi, then Mbappe and finally Neymar. Messi and Mbappe were offered billions but still Al-Hilal could not sign these two stars. Now this team of the Saudi Arabian League wants to complete the contract with their club in exchange for 160 million euros. Many are saying that Neymar has accepted the offer of 160 million Euros and will close the deal with Al-Hilal very soon but we have not seen any official news on this so far. Some media say Neymar will stay in Europe and some media say Neymar has completed his contract with Al-Hilal. Whether Neymar stays in Europe or goes to Saudi Arabia is entirely Neymar's decision. World football is waiting to see one of the best transfers at the moment.
Al Hilal club has managed to add Neymar Jr. to the team. I think that if Saudi Arabia's kind of economic power and the world's best players from the European football clubs were to join their team, European football would be a huge failure.
