That's right, it didn't take a year for the Saudi league to succeed in bringing in these European players and of course the magnet that attracted them to join the Saudi league team was the abundant salary each season. We can see in the picture that one person is sitting waiting for his friends to join, namely Cristiano Ronaldo and unexpectedly, after 6 months, other European players have started to follow in his footsteps to be able to make a lot of money in the Saudi league. Well, we are still waiting for more European players to come to this league before the summer closes.

Anyway, I also found a picture on twitter which is quite interesting and it is the transfer of European players so far to saudi league clubs except for Cristiano Ronaldo who first joined last winter.

Apparently Arabian clubs hasn't stopped to hijack Liverpool players because after gets Fabinho and Jordan Henderson now there was other club who interested to Liverpool player Luis Diaz and it say Al Hilal who really serious want him and they will attempts to get him this summer and reported first proporsal is being formed that Al Hilal will bid not less than 50 millions and Liverpool hasn't respond it yet this rumour but most likely they will reject this offer because Liverpool still needed Diaz service especially after losing Fabinho and Henderson that they don't want to losing more players besides that Diaz too is important player for Liverpool and if he hasn't get injured Klopp was always playing him regularly

this beautiful cartoon currently shows the situation in the current transfer window.
K. Benzema, R. Firmino, N. Kante, R. Neves, K. Koulibaly, M. Brozovic, S. Milinkovic-Savic and E. Mendy are just a few players who have followed the path of big money and left the european football stage for the saudi arabian pro league

 It won't come as a surprise to me if the glaziers are still the owners of the manchester united fc by the winter windows, they're are a confused set of people, no wonder there are complains from most fans on social media That they've ruined the club, all they do is collect dividends yearly without making more investments into various sections of the team, recently they've been fined €300,000 by fifa for some breaches in the financial fair play rules and also same ffa rule has made it a bit difficult for new signings to come in without them triming the squad.
 However according to research it is said that manchester united board are unhappy and claim that the Saudi Pro League is ruining their plans in the current transfer window, they believe that the SPL is causing the inflation of price of numerous players across Europe, but i consider that an excuse for not being able to sell their players or attract buyers with a better fee due to the high wages of most united players and some clubs across Europe won't be willing to buy them for such fee or pay them such wages, whereas the clubs from the Saudi league are attracted to players from other top European clubs and signing them for a huge sum of money but not attracted to manchester united players, i feel that's why the united board is coming up with such claim, if truly they did.

It is true that at this time there are still pros and cons among the public regarding the transfer of European players to the Saudi league team and it is true that they have forgotten that this transfer process will also make the previous team benefit in money that even exceeds the player's market value. Certainly the steps taken by the Saudi league are mutually beneficial and no one is harmed at all.

Maybe the only thing that is quite detrimental for European players is not being able to win the major titles they want because they are more interested in big money, but we also can't blame that because they have families they have to provide for. So, in my opinion, it's better for us to simply enjoy the player's career journey and they must have determined what is best for his career.

So, what's point for glazer to offering manchester united to the investors if the family is not willing to sell the club? The fact that if glazer was a greedy family. This family wants 6 billions for MU while 5 billions can be considered as good amounts of money that being offered by jassim.
Sir Jim is also trying to offer its best price for glazer. If what you said above was true and then glazer should not have an intention to sell the club. it sounds non sense.
Glazer's valuation was actually non sense. Jasim has sent the best price for MU to the glazer. I hope that glazer will able to make a decision regarding the ownership of club. The main problem is there are some members of family refused to sell their shares.

That has become the main problem why jassim is not able acquiring manchester united till this moment.

With the money they have and also not closing the possibility of other clubs that are in one ownership by the Public Investment Fund which is also the owner of Al Hilal, Al Ittihad and Al Ahli it is not impossible to bring in more players who play in Europe and of course that is preferred by clubs whose players are targeted by SPL clubs because they get fresh funds especially if the players being targeted are those they really want to sell, but the question will be whether it is possible for a club in SPL to be filled by more than 50% foreign players? , because every league has rules. That is why the leagues in Europe remain at the top because the level of play of their local players is at the same level as foreign players so there is always a balance in the game.
The defeat experienced is an illustration that sports based on teams will be successful not because of one or two players but teamwork.

Well still wierd that they didnt pay debt they owe to Leicester,for them its nothing and this should be resolved fast. Also the defeat against Celta came in the second half after all of their first squad players left the field plus once they left they got a red card that caused such a big result. But still this shows that this Saudi teams dont have a roster and just got humiliated against a middle spanish team

Al Nassr is banned by FIFA from signing new players until they pay Leicester City a £390,000 debt. This should not be a problem for a financially sound club. They should be able to pay the debt without much stress. Saudi league clubs should also be careful because UEFA is not happy with the way players are moving to the Arabian nation. They can be given a strict punishment if any abnormality is dictated from their financial transactions.

It's just a friendly game and a warm up for the next season. Five goals is not a good score but the most important thing is to learn lessons from the game. Al Nassr coach should be able to analyse the game and make the needed changes. The first half was fine with a goalless scoreline but Ronaldo missed a clear chance to put the Saudi side ahead. But it's all good.

Everyone knows that Ronaldo is done with playing football at the highest level.
The problem is that he made a butthurt statement about the level of European football going down and the Saudi League being better than the Major Soccer League. Perhaps the Saudi League will become better than the US, Turkish league and the Netherlands league if the Saudi clubs keep buying European and Latin American football players. There's no other way for the Saudi Arabian football to become competitive to any European league. Just throwing money at everything and everyone is a guaranteed way to succeed.
Anyway, Cristiano Ronaldo is slowly turning into a laughing stock with his butthurt comments.

This issue on sanctions by Fifa on Alnassr is not a problem.They will sort it they're busy in the market now not minding they have been sanction. They just bought Alex Telles from Manchester United and they are still bidding.Once they get all the players they wanted, they will now sort out with Fifa.

X-ray they need to add quality player’s because Ronaldo is a big brand I get that but on the pitch he won’t be off much help hence they need to add player’s that can score lots of goals and make the team stronger. Furthermore I was expecting Ronaldo to leave but he’s declared that he’s staying back and it looks likes that the end of his European career.

I think Al Nasr is paying more for training balls than he owes for Ahmed Musa, because Al Nassr find 200 million for Cristiano Ronaldo salary and not finding 400k is some joke.

Apparently, Al Nassr did not agree with the interest or bonuses that they had to pay Leicester and decided not to pay out of principle, because they did not agree with the amount of the debt, and now because of Al-Nasr's transfers the whole situation is in plain sight and apparently still have to pay Leicester 400 thousand, so as not to lose millions.

Well, hopefully the problems experienced by Al-Nassr can indeed be resolved quickly. Because supposedly with Al-Nassr's current financial condition, of course, the arrears of unpaid debts will be quite easy to settle. If this is not resolved quickly, the FIFA sanctions will become more difficult to withdraw. But after seeing that Al-Nassr is still active in the hunt for new players, I think Al-Nassr is quite confident that he can solve this problem with FIFA.

Let's see how it turns out for Al Nassr. The most recent information from FIFA is that they have laid out certain conditions to remove the ban on the Saudi club on player registration. First of all, Al Nassr need to settle the debt with Leicester City (probably with penalty and interest). Musa's deal with Al Nassr back in 2018 was worth €16.5 million. They paid the transfer fee to Leicester, but refused to pay around €460,000 in some add-ons. This is not a very big amount for Al Nassr and should be settled very soon (unless there is a dispute).

It can be seen how the quality of the Saudi Arabian League is still below Spain, of course this reflects the strength of Asia is still below the European level for football. But I know a lot of Asians who have good quality and are in demand by top European clubs.


As for FIFA's punishment, I just found out. It turns out that this is a matter of buying Ahmed Musa who played for Leicester City from 2016 to 2018. Then moved to Al Nassr and helped Al Nassr become the 2018/19 Saudi Arabian League champions. This shouldn't be a problem regarding money, because An Nassr has a lot of money at the moment. Maybe they forget, but this is really bad for the club's image in Europe. In addition to this heavy loss, it seems that they are prohibited from carrying out transfer activities for 3 periods.

^^^^ How many more players do they need to buy? Apart from Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo Brozović, they have Latin American players like Talisca and David Ospina. The margin was just shocking. RC Celta de Vigo is not even one of the top sides in La Liga. Last season they finished at 13th place. Anyway, it was good to see Marcelo Brozović making his debut for Al Nassr. BTW, Al Nassr is banned from signing anymore European players, due to a dispute with Leicester (regarding the transfer fee for Ahmed Musa). They were planning to bring Hakim Ziyech and Domenico Berardi to Saudi Arabia.

Do you mean a European club releasing players over 30 to the Saudi Pro League is a good move? Of course it is right to reduce the burden of expenses and provide space for young players to get more playing minutes. It is one way to generate income for the club and the proceeds can be used to buy younger players. Isn't that like running a football business, moreover looking for profits through buying and selling players is a step that is most often done. Every club from Europe or Asia has its own goals and programs to carry out its vision and mission and of course the ultimate goal is to win a championship trophy.

I think it's only natural that these former players move to the SPL at their old age. While enjoying a large salary they can relax while still playing actively, and of course they can improve the SPL League for the better.

The match between nassr vs celta vigo already ended last night. Ronaldo club being humiliated by celta vigo. Celta vigo was destroying al nassr with 5-0 as the final score.

It was not surprising me. The fact that if football was a game for 11 players. it's not only 1-2 players in the club. It seems like that al nassr needs to buy more european player.
That being said that if a few good players are still nothing. The team gonna be good if al nassr will buy more european club.

GGWP for al nassr. There must be so many improvements to be made before the first match against ettifaq.

One good thing about Saudi teams spending too much money to buy expensive players from top European teams is they give good money to these European teams, mostly when a player joins Saudi teams, it means he can't play in the European teams anymore and they can make a good amount of money by selling the players they don't need. They usually invest this money to buy other players or grow younger talents.
