Its too early to compare Al Nassr with inter Milan an PSG, we all know those two clubs are better than them, I didn’t watch the two matches, but it’s surprising for Al Nassr to be able to hold PSG, the match was goalless, PSG wasn’t given the opportunity to score any goal, and they tried also again inter Milan, atleast it was also a draw game, which shows that Al Nassr performance wasn’t really bad in those two matches. As we can see, they Won their last match again monastir with reasonable margin, since they are having another match tomorrow against zamalek, let’s see how their performance is going to be but am sure their will be improvement, but it’s going to be a Gradual process.

Of all the Real Madrid players, the only one whose work ethic deserves appreciation is Luca Modric. Modric has joined Madrid for almost a decade, even though Real Madrid has many star players. however only Modric has been most consistent with his work ethic. not only that, he even showed it in his Croatian national team. this man, very loyal to Los Blancos. So, I wouldn't be surprised if he refuses to follow in the footsteps of other top players to join Saudi clubs.
for him, money is not that important. after all, he already has everything he wants starting from trophies, luxury, money, and big name

I'm not a Real Madrid fan, but I really appreciate the work of this Croatian player. At this time, the end of his retirement was very near. only one season, he certainly seems to be retiring. Interestingly, he still wants to extend his contract to mentor Real Madrid players. that's why, I really respect this one player. speaking of rejecting the offers of Saudi clubs, actually there are many players who do it. even so, some of them are aged 30+. but for them, that money is not everything. and I thought, that's pretty cool.

These transfers to the Saudi Arabian Pro league level up. Al Nassr has now turned into a team that is good enough to compete with a big European team. With Mane, Ronaldo can do wonders on the offensive line. The Saudi Arabian league has become a league that can be watched even in Europe this year. Undoubtedly, it was Ronaldo's transfer that started them.

Sadio Mane is very creative likewise unselfish, I would sit down reminiscing good old days with Liverpool, not just Liverpool but Southampton. He also holds the record of scoring the fastest hat trick in the Premier League during his last season with Southampton football club. He'll be a big plus to the squad. Also, he stands as the highest African player in the world after tax. It really has got to be the money why all these players leave for the Saudi's.

Though, he was pushed by Bayern Munich and Thomas Tuchel to leave because he'll not have enough game time playing for the squad when the new season kicks off. News of Eric Bailey joining soon has been silenced for a while, wondering what's cooking about his move from Manchester United.

Now that's something that I wanted to happen because Sadio Mane certainly deserved to be respected and it's a loss from Bayern because they did not see his full potential and it seems to me as well that they don't have what it takes to unlock Mane's true talent on their side. Anyway, its' good to know that Sadio Mane finally made a move and decided to come along beside Ronaldo in Al Nassr. This team will surely have boost because of their new additional.

Al Nassr didn't get in much players compares to their counterparts, others are building a super team to compete for the title but it seems Al Nassr wants to rely mainly on Ronaldo this period again. Why didn't they get a replacement for Hakim Ziyech immediately the deals didn't pull through and they waited this long to go in for Sadio mane. Ronaldo needs assistance and that's what mane will be providing for him but he also needs a winger that's good at crossing the ball form the right wing. We saw how good he still is in the air with the last goal he scored with a header. I don't know if the transfer window is over for the SPL but if it isn't then Al Nassr should go and look for a similar talent like Hakim Ziyech and sign him.


If not for anything, for the money mane made the best decision and just like he made the best decision to leave Liverpool's because he wasn't been appreciated their he has made the right decision again because he landed in a team that doesn't suit him. With the money he'll be paid in Saudi Arabia he can help his community more as he was helping them turning his village into a city. Footballers like Sadio mane that isn't using the money for his interest only are those we can't judge for taking the decision to go after the money instead of the passion to play the beautiful game of football. I wish him luck at Al Nassr and the media hating on Ronaldo might just help him since the media will always be looking for who to praises when Al Nassr wins and Mane is the next popular name to recieve all the praises.

I think it's good and will make local players continue to improve the quality of their playing, so that the encouragement of several European players who come under the impression can help hone their individual skills and will get used to playing football style Europe. Of course this will affect local players in the short term, but I think the benefits will be far greater for the development of Saudi Arabian football.

How do you mean by leading, whether that relates to league position or top scorer next season. Mane and Ronaldo will be among the players to be talked about next season and there will also be many other players arriving this season who will surprise the Saudi Arabian league.

Mane took the right decision because Thomas Tuchel have not hidden his view that the player's performance is unsatisfactory. The German tactician has not hidden his feeling that the Senegalese striker might spend the entire season as a substitute. Instead of staying to fight for a place, Mane think the best decision was to move to the Saudi league where he could make some good money and partner with one the best players in the world. It is a hard decision but Al Nassr is also a big club with few experienced players. The attack of the club will feel the positive impact of the strength, speed, and skills of Mane.


Luka Modrić decided to stay because he is part of the plans of coach Carlo Ancelotti. He was assured of a place in the team and the player is glad to stay back. Modric has always made his intention to retire in Real Madrid public. Real Madrid knows that the player is still an asset because of his enduring midfield skill and experience. With his longtime commitment to Madrid, he might end up getting a management job with the club at the end of his historical football career.

I don't think I've gotten any info about Modric rejecting the offer but yeah, maybe it's not that important either. Because after all, in today trend, basically old players are very likely to continue their careers here in the Saudi Professional League. But because Modric is also still needed by Real Madrid, then I think it is not right if Modric accepts the offer of the Saudi league club. Because after all, Modric has been very long at Real Madrid and has always been the first choice, so of course Modric will also give his loyalty to Real Madrid until his contract expires.

These two former Liverpool midfielders will face each other to defend their new team in the saudi league and I think their meeting will be quite interesting. Jordan Henderson is at Al-Ettifaq and Fabinho is at Al-Ittihad, although in depth the Al-Ittihad squad is much better but both of them will definitely have good memories when they are in a team that is no longer the same. In addition, so far Liverpool can be said to be the most contributor to the former players registered to join the Saudi league team this summer.

I think everyone at Real Madrid respects him a lot and it's normal for one more season to help the club through a transitional period. After that, whether Modric will retire or accept an offer from the SPL, it will be difficult to predict at this point. The salary offer from the SPL is not something that is tempting for Modric, because he will definitely receive a large salary from Los Blancos.

Reportedly Modric wants to end his football career at Madrid, this is the reason that makes the most sense I think. Because not many previous Madrid players have managed to retire at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Good decision to move to Al-Nassr and join the lineup along with Ronaldo. His expectations were different and the way things ended is different. He mentioned, he could've helped the team this season and prove his ability to everyone. Before that things have happened in the other way and now he's to help the new club master the Saudi Arabia Pro League.

This isn't the last, we'll see more popular names into the league getting signed. Among all the clubs it is Al-Nassr which is throwing big money into the recruitment of popular players.

For Modric, we can say that he has a great commitment to Real Madrid. At the time of his career retiring, he has shown us once again that money is not important to him by refusing astronomical offers from the Saudi Arabian league. Now I think it's imminent for Modric to watch retirement with the Real Madrid jersey.

Actually Sadio Mané frustrated what happen with him self in Bayern Munich after arriving Thomas Tuchel, difficult become regular position and head coach never trust him for becoming main player. He has waiting more than several months to get trust from Tuchel but not good respond after new manager change Sadio Mané more spent in the bench and played several matches as substitute players.

Right decision from Sadio Mané accepting Al Nassr offer and he will get most expensive salary for getting chance partner with Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mané still on the top perform, he will help Al Nassr get chance for winning domestic league next season and qualifying in AFC Champions League trough qualifying round.

This is why he was offered a lot of money for the move, because of his status as Africa's best. He deserves the money he is receiving.

The two players, Ronaldo and Mane should be able to combine well for Al Nassr and ensure that the team is not completely oppressed by the new signings from other Saudi teams when the league starts.

The new players who joined Al Hilal’s, Milinkovic-Savic and Neves scored in their game against Wydad Casablanca, good evidence that they will play well next season.

True, the come of european players are pushing al nassr's performance. The club was able getting draw against PSG even intermilan which has proven how big the impact from european players to the club. I think that al nassr is not stopping yet to add more players to the club. It's likely al nassr gonna have a new target to come soon. The competition gonna be even tougher between ittihad and al nassr next season.
Al nassr shall focus in upcoming match caused by the club will be facing egypt club. Zamalek gonna be a strong opponent for al nassr. The problem if mane cannot play against zamalek. It sounds bad caused by i wanna see the duet between ronaldo and sadio mane in the same club. These guys were also having ballon d'or. Saudi pro league gonna be a league that will be dominated by the club that owned by PIF.
It's pretty much the same as PIF is trying to win the league that is owned by PIF itself. There are so many protests were coming from EPL coaches caused by massive transfers by saudi clubs.

Mane has made the best decision for himself after going through difficult times at Bayern Munich. Now that he is with a club that values him, Mane also received a fantastic salary offer from Al Nassr. Playing side by side with Ronaldo will make Al Nassr attack line even sharper, the collaboration of these two players can increase Al Nassr number of goals in the Saudi Arabia pro league. Mane has been in the right environment based on his religion, he will spend time with Ronaldo after getting everything in European competition.

Mane move to Saudi Arabia pro league has a lot to do with Africa players in Europe, as Africa best his present will help many Young stars sign in. He has good reputation and influence in Africa. I'm happy he left Bayern after they disgraced him. He will be happy in Saudi Arabia, he's a Muslim a respected on as such, he will adapt quickly to their life style.

Playing along side,Ronaldo is something everyone wants to watch, two great stars partnership. 

Although he was about to turn 38, he flatly refused the offer from the Saudi giants. At this age, it is difficult for any player of his generation to compare with him. The person I want to mention is the "conductor" in the midfield of Real, Luka Modric. Going against the general trend of stars on the other side of the career slope, Luka Modric has rejected many offers from Saudi Arabia to continue staying at Real Madrid until the end of his contract. He will retire at the Bernabeu instead of going to Saudi Arabia to earn money in his old age.

Determine from this moment is quite difficult. In addition to An Nassr, 3 other clubs that are members of PIF have almost the same strength. They made a lot of big transfers, so they will probably be competing fiercely. It is difficult to predict from the beginning. There may be many surprises as long as the transfer market remains open. Maybe Ronaldo can play more of a finishing role and Mane moves more to create chances.
