Very good move to create this thread,  this is not just about Ronaldo world will know about Saudi league and their teams and players . Before this thread there are only European league threads , now this  will promote and develop people know how about Arab league .
How can only one player change the popularity of any country we are experiencing that now .
Looking forward to Ronaldos first match tomorrow .
Ronaldo's fan base has a huge influence on any league he strengthens. Serie A and Juventus have felt the effects after being strengthened by Ronaldo and Man United also felt the same way. As of today the number of followers on his Instagram account has reached 596 million, imagine that number beating the entire population of the United States. Naturally, I think the SPL is one of the most talked about leagues at the moment, apart from the Ronaldo effect, many top players and coaches have started to flock there.

The SPL will start on August 12 and we will see new names such as Benzema, Kante, Fermino and Coach Steven Gerrad there. The transfer market has not yet been closed, so there is a possibility that more new recruits from various top European leagues will come to the SPL.

I think it's early too, however it's hardly about the money. The amount of the deal rumoured is not that big, around $20 million, maybe even $35 million, plus the wages aren't as stunning as other players either. Maybe that's because he's not as big a player as the Saudis seem to think he is
My guess if mahrez has another reason why he was agreed in moving from manchester city to go to the saudi club like al ahli. His salary was not so big but that's good enough for him to receive it since his age is not young anymore. Saudi was not seeing him as one a player that must have received huge salary like benzema or cristiano ronaldo. Mahrez knows what was his reason in accepting ahli's offer. We can only speculate it but i do believe if money has also become one of main reason that drives him to go to the al ahli.
He gonna be playing with some players like firmino too. It's not a bad movement for him.

Mahrez will try to complete his movement to the al ahli as soon as possible. The fact that if everything looks fine for him right now. He is not willing to play in city even longer.
I remember pep wants him to stay but he refuses it by accepting al ahli's offer.

All in all, if that's the way it is, then yes, he really is better off moving to another club. If you look at his stats at Manchester City, he's not doing very well. Yes, he gets game time, and enough of it, but his goal stats leave a lot to be desired, but his assists are prevalent. Maybe he will score more often in Saudi Arabia, we'll see

Right. I'm not sure if the Saudi professional league will be the best league in the world, because after all in all aspects it is still far behind the top European leagues. It's true, now this competition is getting great attention from the eyes of the world, especially for football lovers. however apparently, their goals and targets are not what we discussed. I have other opinions and points of view, but it is clear that if I describe them, they will widen in all aspects. so, I prefer to discuss it only in the scope of football. ideally, this competition will be the top competition when compared to competitions in Asia. also, the progress of football in this country will gradually grow much more. and it seems, from a football point of view, this is the most ideal philosophy to describe it.

Before Ronaldo and other players came to this league was still the best in Asia almost every season the winners of the Asian Champions League come from this league no need to compare anymore. Imagine if Messi joined the saudi league it might be the most watched league unfortunately Messi is not yet interested but I'm sure in the end Messi will come here as Ronaldo main competitor maybe after his contract expires in MLS.

The arrival of a number of world star players including Cristiano Ronaldo certainly had a positive effect on the Saudi Pro League. But it's a shame if what you say is true because if the club's finances are not healthy then the Saudi Professional League is also under threat. This reminds me of the Chinese Super League, which probably has a process similar to what the Saudi League clubs do. But I still believe that the Saudi Pro League will still exist and will probably be the best league in the world if the league and financial management improves by consistently bringing in world-class players.
Ronaldo has the biggest fans base. Bringing him to the SPL already made a very big impact to the popularity of saudi club right now. People were also very often talking about saudi club and the developments in the league.
That proves that ronaldo's recruitment has been giving massive impact to the SPL. The popularity from the league is increasing with the goes of time.
I would not be surprised if people gonna consider SPL as one of biggest league in the future as long as there will always be money to be supplied to the SPL.

I think the clubs here in the Professional League cannot be compared financially with the clubs in the Chinese Super League because after all, the Saudi Professional League has Ronaldo while the Chinese Super League does not have a much number of star players like Al Nassr, Al Hilal and Al Ittihad. Thus, the two leagues have different efforts and thus, i'm quite sure that the Saudi Professional League will continue to grow. So, the capacity of the Saudi Professional League is certainly greater and I'm sure it will last a long time too, because they have money that is probably unlimited.

I think another pro, Saudi LEague have is the closeness to europe, i can see in the future the Saudi teams can join more european competitions, after all they are more in the esphere of europe than in the Asia/china one.

Like Concafas now after MEssi arrival joining Libertadores Cup from Conmebol.

Saudi Pro League is indeed the concern of many parties, especially those who idolize players.
Parties engaged in the business sector will see how enthusiastic the audience is at each match to allow them to offer themselves as main sponsors.

Apart from the Chinese super league, MLS has also had many well-known players in the world of professional football for a long time, but the MLS rating is also not as high as other European leagues.
It's more business.

For quality improvement yeah right I agree that was one of the impacts when bringing in european players but from a business standpoint I really doubt it, I mean they won't get more profit for what they have spent. I've said it many times that business is not their main target, I think the main purpose of the promotion I mean they want to promote other projects through this League it's just that not everyone realizes it. I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years Saudi Arabia will host the world cup but don't think that this is their main target this is another part of the promotion stage.
I realize that too, only I don't say it as often as you do. There are other targets that the Arabs want to achieve besides business and improving the quality of their league, but something like promoting themselves as the home team for a future World Cup may also be on their list of plans.

I don't really follow much of the Arab Pro League other than the fact that many of Europe's top players have joined. The Arab Pro League may be getting competitive, but that development isn't going to be big in short term. Long-term projects are much more likely to be prioritized, but they do take a lot of money, planning and investment.

There were some news and articles about Ronaldo helping the Saudi teams to hire top-level players from the European teams to play in the Saudi Arabian league also even people were thinking Ronaldo told Al Nasr which coach they have to choose for the next season and he is more than a normal player for his team.

After the last friendly game with Al Nasr, they asked Ronaldo about Otavinho and they said Ronaldo is punishing Otavinho to join the Saudi teams and made him angry because he said he is not related to this transfer at all.


https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/totally-a-lie-cristiano-ronaldo-angrily-rubbishes-otavio-to-al-nassr-transfer-claims/bltdc14c04fbecd4c15



I think that is considered a perk in getting Ronaldo in SPL, we all know that Ronaldo himself is a well known athlete and influential as well, and it will be no surprise if Al Nasr will use his influence in European League to acquire more productive players in the future. Also, I believe that getting Ronaldo is just a small piece in the whole picture, what they are doing is just a fraction only because the whole league got a much bigger plan to make their league more known.

Regardless of the underlying reasons for these top players joining the Arab Pro League, I'm just sure it will make the Arab Pro League better in quality. I also agree that the Arab Pro League will not be better than other leagues in Europe, but at least the Arab Pro League will get more value and attention from football lovers.

If the transfer activity of several Arab Pro League teams is viewed from a business perspective, then of course it will benefit them in many ways. This team will get more attention, they will also get more supporters and it is likely that ticket sales for each of their matches will increase. The impact on the business side will be very positive regardless of what observers say.

Of course it is very exaggerated if we assume that the Saudi Pro League will be above the big European leagues.
With the presence of several well-known players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Kante and a series of other names it only became a moment's attention.
I dare say the Saudi Pro League is only used as a place for players to enjoy life with big salaries. No longer chasing achievements.
Players like Lionel Messi prefer MLS to the Saudi Pro League. We can judge that not all players are interested.

Regarding the statistics and achievements of this league, I doubt it will go as expected. If there is a change, it will not be too significant.

Damn, it's too exaggerate if we consider that the Saudi Pro league is above the level of other leagues such as the Premier, La Liga or Serie A even to be on the same level was impossible, if we talk for the Asian region, yeah it is possible but not for top League. The Saudi Pro League only brought in old players obviously the speed and abilities are different and not worth comparing, next season we will see how the statistics and achievements of this League after bringing in several top players whether it is as expected or not.

You're right, they did not buy Ronaldo as a player, he was brought in to develop the league and the club at large, he has good experience in football as world number one, so before hiring any player he must be informed. because he has played with most of the good players in Europe and played against too, so he knows good players that will help the club.
 there is nothing wrong for Alnarss management  to seek his advice first.
Ronaldo comes first in fame, in football, that's the facts. Cristiano Ronaldo is a widely recognized footballer. His presence and signings were primarily for the development of the club as well as the promotion of the league. Currently, the Saudi Arabia league is striving harder to bring in fantastic big names, which will boost the league's appeal. It's only a matter of time before everything return to normal. Al-Nassr is the most active club in Saudi Arabia in terms of signings; however, they may have been barred from adding new players this summer due to outstanding debts.

I think there will be a lot of signings of European players that will be carried out by the league Saudi Arabian team. For example, Manchester City star Mahrez, who is being persuaded by the Al-Ahli team and also Al-Nassr, is making an approach with Sadio Mane. I think day by day the Team from the saudi arabia league will take a stronger approach to the european stars.

I would like to see a team from the SPL be able to recruit quality stickers in Europe like Osimhen, Goncalo Ramos so that this will make their League an attraction for young players to join their team. But yes this cycle will occur because they have stronger finances for now.
Yes, transfer window is still open, so there is still a possibility this league will recruit a lot of European players again. After Ronaldo decided to accept the offer from Saudi League, sporting events in this country grow up, not a little of which they got from the results of broadcasting rights tickets etc.

Osimhen is still quite young, he is not too interested in money, I think he wants at the moment is achievements. If any club in this league made a big or attractive offer, I'm sure he will not accept it.

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the experienced players in the world. On the other Saudi league is new to football, naturally the authorities will try to take some suggestions from renowned player link Ronaldo. Especially, this star footballer know much about various issues of European football. So I don't think it is a crime to ask his advice or suggestion to add someone else to the team. Even if something happens internally in this regard but officially it has no basis. Moreover, he himself admitted that he is not involved with the player transfer of any team.
That's right, maybe they did it because they know full well that Ronaldo can give the best advice for the team. Apart from that, we can see that the Saudi league was previously very far from everyone's sight and since Ronaldo's arrival, everyone has become involved in learning everything that is in this league. Even the big media are now starting to actively inform all things that are in the Saudi league.

I don't think there's anything wrong with any advice or anything as long as it's for the good of the team and Ronaldo really aims to introduce this league to the wider community so that it will be better known. Regarding player transfers, I think this is absolutely the business of the club and also the players who are targeted, maybe Ronaldo is only helping in terms of marketing towards the Saudi league and outside of that it's not Ronaldo's business anymore.

It's an ordinary thing in the football. That's pretty much the same like the case when ronaldo being asked about bringing cuadrado to the al nassr and ronaldo said by NO for nassr in recruiting him. Cuadrado already ended join in intermilan.
Public surprised by the decision that has been taken by intermilan. Ronaldo sees cuadrado as a bad team mate in juventus. That's why the club will always seek opinion from him. It's caused by ronaldo has more knowledge about football compared with al nassr itself especially in european football. Ronaldo has been playing there since he was young. No reason for the club is not seeking his opinion before try to make further moves by securing the new player or coach.

Ronaldo has two roles in al nassr. He acts as a player and at the same time ronaldo is also being used as adviser for al nassr. The club will always try to consult him before trying to create a movement.

You're right, they did not buy Ronaldo as a player, he was brought in to develop the league and the club at large, he has good experience in football as world number one, so before hiring any player he must be informed. because he has played with most of the good players in Europe and played against too, so he knows good players that will help the club.
