The first is the rapid development of the Saudi League because there is a huge financial factor so that it can further advance the quality of every club that competes there.
In addition, there are quite a number of well-known European players who have begun to be taken in by Saudi clubs, thus creating interest and also increasing Saudi football fans.
Until now the Saudi football association has also taken many good steps which have further boosted the popularity of the Saudi League.
Well i must disagree on that I don’t see any development in such field with this strategy that Saudia is doing by bringing old players that are in their way to end their career which can’t really add much things to the Saudi Arabian League, what I see now is only what China did before by pouring so much money and everything gone wrong without any result.
Saudia now recruited Ronaldo, Karim and much other known players that are in their way of stopping football, I’m sure it’s will go the same thing as it happened with china
Even though several players have had unproductive periods playing optimally and are almost entering retirement age, the main goal of the Saudi club is not only to have great players but also to attract the interest of many people around the world to pay attention to the Saudi League.
Everything has been proven that now there are a lot of fans and observers of Saudi League football.

After all, many young players were recruited and moved to Saudi Arabia.


At this point, there is no reason other than money to move to this league. What's so interesting about it? Nothing. A few star players at different clubs, that's all.  When there will be a lot of such players and at least young players will start coming, then we can talk about the positive direction of this league, but not otherwise. Young players have started coming in, but they are very few. I'm sure if you put a top Saudi League club against a top club from any European league, the SPL club will lose in a landslide
The Saudis made very large offers, even European clubs lost financially to Saudi clubs.
But so far, the goals and targets of the Saudi League for the future, in the long term, cannot really be known for certain.

Don't compare Saudi clubs with Europeans because Europe has far earlier had strong clubs and better playing strategies.
But in the future we don't know what will happen, it could be that Saudi Arabia has clubs that can compete with Europe.

Now there are rumors of a return transfer from the Saudi league team, namely Al-Hilal, who have agreed terms with Aleksandar Mitrović from Fulham. Even the Fulham coach also confirmed that Aleksandar Mitrović is not working in the squad. It seems that the mainstay striker for the Serbian national team is also starting to be interested in the big salary offered by Al-Hilal and as we know he is still 28 years old and that is the same age as Ruben Neves who first joined Al-Hilal some time ago. It looks like the Saudi league will continue to have European players coming in and this time Aleksandar Mitrović, who arrived in his prime, also decided to end his career in Europe sooner.

Bayern are seriously trying to get Harry Kane and if they get the striker, they will no longer need Mane for that position. Choupo-Moting will have his role as an alternative striker for Bayern, after Kane.

I think if Bayern Munich can not sell Mane to another club with a wanted transfer price, they will keep him and use him in either swings or forward position. At swings, Mane always plays well in Liverpool and at the forward position, he can replace Thomas Mueller when Mueller is not available for playing.

I can not step in brain of Tuchel and knows his plan but Mane is a good and still helpful player for Bayern Munich.
If so, Bayern Munich can try to make an offer to Tottenham by including Mane in any deal to sign Harry Kane. It won't be easy, but there is still a possibility that Tottenham will accept the offer because they will definitely need a striker if Harry Kane leaves. Bayern Munich could also offer Mane to Man United because we all know that Man United is also looking for a striker.

Mane had a nightmare in his first season with Bayern Munich and I guess he won't be part of Tuchel's plans for next season either. So there are only two choices for him, staying in Munich as a bench player or move to another team that may not be a big team.
Al Nassr could possibly sign former Liverpool frontline, and present Bayern Much player this summer. Sadio Mané was one of the most important player at Anfield, due to some unagreed terms, he exits and join the bundesliga giant, but the previous looks of things, nothing really improved for the Senegalese, he struggle to be at his best peak, that never happened. Sadio Mané is already having some discussion with Saudi clubs, as the Bavarians intends to sell him at all possible costs in the transfer window, probably he can still stay and fight for his position in the frontlines. Thomas Tuchel have other plans to execute in the new season, perhaps let's see what happens.

I guess he will try to win Champions League after a final defeat months ago and perhaps he will try to protect his World Cup trophy with Argentina and because of such reasons, he will not leave Europe soon.

This is the reason why we don't need to believe the Rumors of Martinez's move to the Saudi Pro League he still has ambitions to win the Champions League title and there is no way for the title if he joins this league , clubs in this league attract players by offering money but most of the young players will ignore the money they will be more concerned with careers they should be aware of this fact. They can make an offer when Martinez is 30 years old or older at this age maybe he prefers money  Roll Eyes As you said Martinez still needs one more trophy to complete his career it is the Champions League trophy so we can ignore the rumors of his move.

Tuchel has given the green light for Mane to leave, his squad has a reliable striker especially if Kane is officially recruited. Letting go of Mane for extra money is a scheme that must be implemented by Bayern now.
Tuchel needs more than a striker and Kane only helps him to solve a lack of world class striker in Bayern Munich. In other positions in the squad, he can find a good piece to use Mane with it. He can if he want and Mane can do his tasks well if it is not a striker position.

Man, Sadio Mane still being a top quality player, he had a really bad season on Bayern Munich but that doesnt ake him a class B player, lets see how him recover his form.

After all its only one bad year, and he had some problems with their companions.
It is true that he experienced some difficulties in Munchen, the injury factor he experienced reduced the performance of the former Liverpool winger. The confusion over his future in Munchen is currently being hotly discussed, whether Mane will move to the Saudi League or not. Some reports say he has reached a personal agreement with AL Nassr, but can only wait and see the end of the transfer window this summer.

I don't know why you said these names are rumoured to join the Saudi Arabian league, when some of them has been sealed already. Henderson move to Al-Ettifaq is already dusted and he just had medicals today. A month-watering 3 years deal of £700,000 per week which is times three of his current wage at Liverpool. Al Ahli has agreed a £30M deal with Manchester City for Mahrez that will make him the highest earned African player and the paper works is been finalized and he will be unveil as their new signing soon. The only rumours for now is the Saint Maximum £30M deal to Al Ahli and Sadio Mane switch which is still under consideration.
Sadio Mane, currently rumours have agreed to join the Saudi League. If the rumours are true, then that handsome man will wear the Al Nassr jersey. Actually I don't believe Sadio Mane has made up his mind to play in the Saudi League, because he is still capable enough to compete in the Europa zone. But it is his decision, I should be happy to hear it because he will earn a lot of money in Saudi.
If you look at his age, of course Sadio Mane can still compete in a friend's European league, but that didn't happen after Bayern Munich sold him in this season's transfer window. Even though previously Sadio Mane had clarified that he wanted to stay with Bayern Munich, but Bayern Munich preferred to sell him.

We will see Al nassr finalizing this transfer with Bayern munich before these two teams announce it in the media. I think Bayern Munich no longer want to use Sadio Mane services because Sadio Mane is considered to have failed to shine last season in helping the team. But looking at his first season at Bayern Munich it wasn't too good because Sadio Mane had to miss several matches due to injury which prevented him from making a big contribution to Bayern Munich. But if he joins Al Nassr, then Sadio Mane can maximize the quality he has in the next season, especially since there is Ronaldo who makes him more eager to accept Al Nassr offer.

We agree that Sadio Mane is still worthy of Europa competition but for now there is no Europa team that wants to sign him even Bayern Munich is no longer interested
There are many considerations and risks if the club wants to sign him as a player for example, performance decreases due to age and injury susceptibility obviously things like this are avoided by the club unless the club just wants to capitalize on his fame. Sadio Mane has taken the right steps in choosing a club in the Saudi Pro League and he still earns a decent salary for at least the next 3 years, not sure he would get the same wages if he joined another europa club.

I can't imagine Ronaldo's collaboration with Sadio Mane they will fight with last season's champion Ittihad who currently have Benzema and Kante, Benzema is the winner of the Ballon d'or while Mane is the runner up europe's best players will compete in the Saudi League. Last season Ronaldo played 16 matches with Al Nassr and scored 14 goals and now his competitor Benzema as Laliga top scorer will also compete. well the fight between the two clubs will be our concern and maybe the world, competition in this League will begin on August 12.

It seems Xavi is scared of his players when he gives them for loan to other teams and especially when these players are going to play in other La Liga teams, Pablo Torre is going to play for Girona until the end of this season but he is not allowed to play against Barcelona, It seems Xavi asked his team to make this rules for the players they give for loan.


 


Xavi didn't make the rule prohibiting loaned players from playing against their parent club. It had always been in the rule book of the football governing body, both in the English, Spanish, Italian and other leagues.

The moves of signing older big name players to the Saudi league has sure put the region in spotlight and has created a new breed of Arab players that will do better when they represent their countries in international competition.

While I agree that this league is improving really fast in these last couple of years,until this reaches a good European level it will take at least another 2-3 decades before they become competitive.They have facilities,modern ones,a lot of money and this if used well and managed well can bring the quality of this league up really fast.I remember a few years ago when this league was one of the worse to watch with goals scored in an amateur way and no real competition was in this league as a few teams kept dominating it.I know that now with the coming of Ronaldo and Benzema the level of quality of this league has improved considerably but I hope more other players come here to improve it even further.
The first is the rapid development of the Saudi League because there is a huge financial factor so that it can further advance the quality of every club that competes there.

C Ronaldo would soon be reunited with his former teammate from Manchester very soon, according to the news Alex Telles have completed his medical with Al Nassr and would be moving to the team very soon, the team suffered a huge lot loss against Celta Vigo and  benfica last week and their performance shows that they seriously need some recruitment in their defence, and are on the verge of completing a deal with Telles who just passed his medical today, they have also add another player at the centre back position and would try to lure another Manchester United defender in person of Eric Bailey who is a cheaper option and would only cost them about €5-6m.
 Another player that is likely to move to the Saudi Pro League is Jordan Henderson from Liverpool, the club is rebuilding their team and letting go of older players, so have decided to accept a deal worth £12m also Henderson have accepted a three year contract with  Al-Ettifaq  but an announcement is pending because the clubs are still sorting out all documents required for his departure.

Considering that in Saudi Arabia the transfer window closes very late relative to Europe (only Portugal has a later transfer window closing date - September 22) - September 20, it can be assumed that many players who could not get offers that suit them will go there. Therefore, this list can really be seriously replenished towards the end of the transfer window.

Yes and also, it seems that it is not something new nor is it something strange anymore about the many players who will play in the Saudi Professional League next season. Big pay without a hard target to win the title, so it looks like it will be a comfortable task to undertake to play in the Saudi Professional League. But yes, even though it is rumored that there will be many players who will join, the reality is that there are still some players who reject it and still choose to play for clubs that play in Europe.

Everyone has different preferences (for example, Kane has been in Tottenham for years, hahaha), but in order for the Saudi League to be a huge competition to Europe, it is not necessary that all or even a significant part of the players go there. It is enough that some players go there, plus every (good) player understands that such an option is available to him.

I remember very well before he moved to the Saudi Arabian League, almost all of his behavior and actions were highlighted by the media when Man United were playing at home and away, even the news that appeared continuously cornered Cristiano Ronaldo because of his dispute with Erik Ten Hak, so he was always played off the bench and only played a few times as a line-up. As if there was a big move that kept cornering him after the controversial interview he did while still in the Man United uniform.

Cristiano Ronaldo's salary is too big for certain clubs and admit it or not, his performance is not as good as before so many other clubs are considering signing him. Of course though it was not only money considerations that made Cristiano Ronaldo move to Saudi Arabia and everyone knows that this league offers quite a fantastic salary for star players who have shone in Europe.

Likewise with us, we closely followed the developments that occurred after that. here I'm just being a neutral fan, even really respecting Criatiano Ronaldo. it's just that I am very unfortunate, if a professional star player vilifies the club he has defended. this is very unethical for me personally, especially since he still receives a salary from the club. but for sure, all that has passed. in the end, Ronaldo chose to accept an offer from the club Al Nassr. because, in fact not many clubs are willing to sign him. besides the age factor, decreased performance, also a large salary.

But on the positive side, like it or not, admit it or not, that Ronaldo has brought this competition to be more famous thanks to him. although in fact, that Ronaldo is part of the PIF project plans. proven, the Saudi Pro League is increasingly getting attention from all corners of the world. not a few top European players have received offers from various Saudi clubs, although most are interested in the salary offered. but the impact, will be seen. Gradually, in the next 5-10 years, Saudi football will be more advanced, especially when compared to the Asian level.

Newcastle may have to release their player, but that doesn't mean that they will sell him to SA league just yet, he may not accept that and he may want to stay in Europa few more years at least. He is still a great player and the best Newcastle had for many years so there is a chance that he may not get booted off yet. If he can find a place that can buy him, then he is going to be staying in Europe, if not then Newcastle would have to sell some other players for cheaper but multiple players, to make up for the difference.

Convincing Max to go to SA will not be easy, and I bet that he will reject it for the time being. In about 5-10 years range, he may go there, because he would be a lot more ready to play there.

I looked at the last pages but didn't see it being talked about. Did this claim come to the fore only in our local media? Kylian Mbappe's departure from PSG is considered certain. Mbappe, who wasn't taken to PSG's Japan camp, allegedly agreed to go free next season with Real Madrid, while PSG was very uncomfortable with this and didn't want the player to go for free, so they left him out of the squad. Teams that want to buy Mbappe must pay a minimum of 200 million Euro. Al Hilal can pay this money. They were going to offer Mbappe a 2-year 400 million Euro offer.
If this transfer takes place, it will be the biggest transfer of recent years. Do you think the Arabs will be able to get Mbappe at this age?
