It's very disappointing for Al Nassr that Hakim Ziyech could not pass his medical, but I think it's not the end of the transfer window yet and they'll definitely bring in some more players to assist Cristiano Ronaldo, although they've had several huge defeats against some European clubs but more players would join the team shortly and they'll challenge for the trophy next season, if you notice Ronaldo is not very strong as before to make those runs and they're really in need of more players to back him up, he still had eyes for goals and with the right wingers you'll bring out his best form.

 SPF is the most participating league in this year's transfer window and has attracted top European players compared to the MLS, I feel the presence of Ronaldo last year has made it possible for players especially most of his compatriots to move to the league, maybe due to the huge wage bill they throw at players as well, they are not affected by the financial fair play rule and are financially capable  of attracting player with very huge wage bill, also many European club see the SPF as an agenda to offload player demanding huge wages from their club.

Al Nassr needs wingers that can cross the ball into the opponents penalty box so Ronaldo can attack with his head or other strikers playing at that moment can attack. I thought Hakim Ziyech deals was going to go through but was disappointed that it failed as I thought he would be that player to strength the wings at Al Nassr. Al Nassr losing against European teams isn't a big deal because they don't have the quality in Europe even though Ronaldo said the quality is reducing. He wasn't wrong with that statement that didn't mean Saudi Pro league is better than European league.

The quality of the Saudi Pro league is improving but yet not upto that of European teams. Is the FIFA ban on Al Nassr still active, if it isn't then they have to go back to the market, preferably from the premier league to hunt for good wingers. I thought they would gone for more Chelsea players as we had Pulisic there and others but pulisic has now gone to Ac Milan. Al Nassr needs more players to be able to compete for the Saudi Pro league trophy because other clubs are busy shopping for players to strengthen their squad,.

The Arab league is going to get bigger than it is right now, but it will not be as big as Europe.
One major thing they lack is they don't produce their own stars. If you look at European football and South American football, you'll notice that they produce their own stars. I feel these two continents (Europe and South America) has the best leagues and they don't have the kind of money the Arabs have. It's not by signing superstars to the league. It's about the quality of football. They have to look for ways to play quality football. In S. America they don't have have that kind of money but their football is good, all that is needed is right funding and they can compete with Europe.

I know that the world is dynamic. Years ago the Italian league was the best league, there was a time American clubs were highly rated just like European clubs, so I won't be surprised if I come to earth in 200 years and see another continent dominating football, but what I know is that football won't be dominated by signing big players and giving them lucrative deals.

i noticed that the Arab League is trying to build branding that is on par with the European League because many of the Saudi Arabian teams are currently buying top players in the European League at very high prices, will this phenomenon stop? i'm sure it won't be because there will be more and more teams in the Arab League who buy Europe's top players, the very shocking news is that Sadio Mane continues to be linked with Al Nassr, if Mane officially moves to the Arab League then all the attention of football fans will be on the Arab League.

You know, it's a long time to get to that point. The maximum that we will be able to see in the near future is friendly matches between Saudi league clubs and European clubs, because by definition they do not qualify for the European Cup. Will they build something of their own, similar to the European cups? Also an interesting question

It looks like Malcom's transfer finally took place for 60 million euros Zenit sold the player to Al-Hilal and now the record of the Russian Premier League is broken. Previously, the most expensive player was Hulk, who was sold for 56 million dollars to a Chinese club.
There was also the transfer of Leandro Paredes from Zenit to PSG, but there the transfer amount was smaller only 40 million euros.
In general, the Saudi clubs are determined to buy all the players they can reach and apparently set themselves the task next season to enter the 10 strongest leagues in the world.

Al Nassr in the 2 friendly games in which Al Nassr played against teams from Europe had humiliating defeats, first they lost against celta de vigo by 5 - 0, in a game in which Al Nassr did not manage to score at least one goal, in the second game they lost against benfica in a game in which they only scored 1 goal but conceded 4 goals, with these results Al Nassr conceded 9 goals in just 2 games and scored 1 goal only and from now on 2 two days Al Nassr will play against PSG, luckily for Al Nassr and that PSG will not play with mbappe, so I ask:

Could it be that this is Al Nassr's great chance to beat a team from Europe in these friendly games?

currently Al Nassr has the following players that in my opinion are the best in their squad: Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcelo Brozović, Seko Fofana, Anderson Talisca, David Ospina, Telles.

but it is still very insufficient to make them win the Saudi league, I don't know how many foreign players are allowed to be playing on the field, but in my opinion Al Nassr needs to hire more players, especially in the midfield which is where their big problem is, even if you change coach while there is some rule that prevents many foreign players on the field, so these many signings will be of no use, in my opinion the field should only have 3 internal players

Regardless of the reasons why some Arab Pro League teams spend so much money to recruit top players, the bottom line is that it has attracted a lot of public attention towards them. The Arab Pro League is expected to be more competitive as these teams have built up quality teams with some quality players who used to be top players in European competition, that's good from a competitive standpoint.

It's certainly possible that they are aiming for a bigger move in player transfers, but I think some of their guesses are correct. That's definitely not a problem because they have a lot of investors who are willing to spend a lot of money to build a quality team.

28 years old is such an age that I do not think that he closes the door behind him by moving to the Saudi League. After playing for a couple of years (and earning a lot of money), he will be in demand at the age of 30. The fact that the level of play in Saudi Arabia is lower does not mean anything - it is obvious that now the best physical trainers, physiotherapists, doctors, etc. will work there. He won't lose his form or skills playing there.

I guess this is one of the goals, dominate the Asian Champions League, but it won't stop there. They are also drawing a lot of attention to their domestic league as the World Cup 2030 is also on their to do list. But what do the European clubs do when the Saudis decide to launch a super league and simply 10 x the prize pool of what the UEFA is offering in the Champions League? Will there be a threshold where clubs can't say no anymore to a super league? It feels like this is just the beginning of a massive project.

I heard that Saudi league can't get european players because of some lawsuit with leicester or leeds, forgot which one. That wasn't true? Or was it and got handled? I am not sure what was the case there but they are definitely getting a lot of great players for their league and they are looking like they are going to do fine as well. I am not guessing that they will be making much money though, this is more like a future thing. They are overspending to get these players.

Mitrovic is a decent player, serbian striker at the nation team level, so it is going to be fine but I feel like it is going to be a hard job in the end as well. We need to see how they do in the end and if they do well enough then we are going to see them win a good amount as well.

Well, this speculation is very interesting, I don't doubt it, it could be that things are like that, personally I think that each of the players may be in conflict with the bull for X reason, but by now things must have been overcome and I don't think CR7 starts talking like that to discredit his teammates, if he does it's because they messed with him and it blows if he's defending himself, otherwise I don't think he's going to do anything bad, CR7 is a very good person, he's A human, he makes mistakes like everyone else, but he is a person who is very human, and that is what matters, and I am sure that the rest can be fixed.



In fact, things have changed a lot now, it is seen that the players have a special interest in having a better league so that they can be more successful, they call veteran players so that they can be at the level and the Arab players take their techniques, it is not a bad idea, in fact it is not because they want to be someone who says things to say, but if they continue like this the Saudi League will be one of the most famous in the world, perhaps it can have a lot of competition from the European one, because for now they are taking veteran players who in Europe already say not serve them, but in Arabaia they are highly valued, so this has a much greater weight, because as athletes they are very good and have a lot to give, for this reason I think they are taking them.

At the same time, I think that not only veteran players will leave, who have been in the European leagues for a long time and have had a great career in Europe, but also the star players will have a lot of interest in joining the Saudi League because it is their opportunity to make a lot of money and play with the most famous players in Europe, so it is not a bad idea for things to happen like this, also they will not lower the level, because the football that is shown will be impressive.

There are promising players who want to have them in Europe, but if a Saudi league offers them 4 or 5 times the salary they are offered in Europe, where will they go? They know that one season they already have their life insured, also they will not have so much pressure, they will be able to learn the Eurpopa technique and they will be able to have a mixture of techniques, because there will be many players who will be leaving, the truth is that I greatly applaud this strategy of the Saudis.

I don't think it's just a matter of money. because indeed before the rumors of Ronaldo's move to Saudi, Ronaldo did have a good relationship with Saudi Arabian officials. actually, it is not impossible that Ronaldo will eventually return to his first club or end his career in MLS. but Ronaldo's arrival at Al Nassr is also a big consideration to change how Asian football is seen as far behind Europe.

The massive signing of foreign players and coaches to the Saudi Arabian league is beginning to make me wonder the main objectives of the Arabians. These super rich Arabs have the money to set up the best football facilities and throw lavish contracts on young and old foreign players to lure them to the league and some of us are not looking at the bigger picture. The way they Arabs are going with their spendings, I won't be surprised if Saudi Arabian clubs begin to dominate the Asian champions league in the coming years.

Serious? I just heard this rumor. if that's true, it means I've missed a lot of the latest news regarding Kane and Al Hilal.

Well, talking about the rejection of Bayern's proposal for Kane to Spurs, is not new news for us. In fact, I just read the latest news regarding Kane reported by TeamTalk and Bild Germany. In the news, rumors Kane and his family have been looking for housing in Munich. To be honest, I can't believe 100% this news is true. because, only a few media reports regarding this matter. but if this is true, we can interpret it, that it is very likely that Kane will join Bayern Munich next season and leave Spurs.

Now we discuss from the side of Al Hilal. if rumors are that Al Hilal is interested in bringing Kane, even with the price tag that Levy wants. plus, the Spurs also agreed with Al Hilal's offer. there is a final mechanism that must be agreed upon, namely, Harry Kane is willing to accept Al Hilal's offer. the question is whether Kane is interested in playing in the Saudi league. plus, he was offered a fantastic salary. if not, Spurs cannot let Kane go to Al Hilal. because, the final decision rests with the player. By the way, I'm sure Kane will join Bayern Munich. yep, it's only a matter of time. after all, the transfer window still has a lag time.

In fact, Ronaldo joined a club labeled (Al Nassr), Al Hilal was Ronaldo rival club in Saudi League. But yes, because Ronaldo this league is getting more and more famous, I personally didn't even know the previous Saudi League without Ronaldo. Be supposed, if you want to have a different opinion, you must know about this League first, and your opinion is not different at all. We all know because of Ronaldo this league is getting success, but another fact is not because of Ronaldo but because of money, I mean without money Ronaldo will not join.

Aleksander Mitrovic has been one of the best performing footballer at the Craven Cottage over the years and from what has been reported so far, he'll be joining the Saudi Professional League this summer.
I think the Saudi clubs aren't after publicising their league the the global football community again because it is visible that they've already achieved that rather they want to make the league a very quality and competitive league just like the major European leagues which is a good news for the Saudi locals

His career is not as good as we think and he only won a few titles for his country and also a few titles in the Belgian league team. But since his career in the English premier league in 1025, he also has never achieved anything in that span of time. It looks like he couldn't refuse the offer from Al-Hilal considering there weren't so many offers from other European teams for him. Fulham is also very happy if this offer comes from a Saudi league team that currently has unlimited funds to sign European players. Let's wait for the development of the transfer of Aleksander Mitrovic to Al-Hilal and this will add to the list of players who have joined the Saudi league.

Aleksandar Mitrović is talented player and last season he can bringing Fulham to survive on Premier League and 14 goals from 24 matches has proven his performance was quite impressive and Fulham manager Marco Silva doesn't want to sell him because he is important player for this team but Fulham has decide to sell him recently at high price 50 millions so if there is a club who want him then as long as they can pay according to his price tag then Fulham will release this player

Besides that Al Ahli too has been showing their interest to Fulham manager Marco Silva and it says if he willing to moved to Saudi Pro League they will give him 2 years contract duration with total salary 40 millions but the good news for Fulham is Marco Silva has been showing his commitment and he will not be tempted even if Al Ahli offers him big money

After all, Mitrovic also never played in big clubs either and it seems, Mitrovic also did not get so many titles with his team while playing in Europe. So yes, with an age like that and getting an offer with an expensive fee, then I think it's natural for Mitrovic to accept the offer. Unless Mitrovic is still very ambitious to be able to play at a big club that has great potential to win many titles, then Mitrovic can stay to play in Europe. But yes, considering his age which is getting closer to 30 years, it seems that Mitrovic does not have the chance to achieve the highest achievements in Europe. So yes, choosing to play in the Saudi Professional League for a high fee, then I think it is the right decision too.
