Hakim Ziyech finally has became an Al Nassr player and he will being an Ronaldo team mate but Al Nassr hasn't stopped yet to bought some players to strengthen their squad and their ambition is still same just like other Arabian teams that they want to gets more star players from europa and currently Al Nassr has attempts to gets 2 or 3 more players and some of players such as William Carvalho from Real Betis, Seko Fofana from Real Betis and the latest is Atletico Madrid player Antoine Griezmann are linked to them

For Antoine Griezmann seems Al Nassr is very serious and in the near future they will contact Atletico Madrid to talking about this transfer and they are willing to pay according to release clause for Antoine Griezmann approximately 25 millions and this is not huge money for them however the current manager of Al Nassr Dinko Jelicic had difficult jobs because he have to bringing Al Nassr to be the champion of Saudi Pro League and they have to compete against Al Ittihad which is not be easy because this team also currently has Benzema and Kante

I wish not wish any potential player to join Barcelona, they has no good project for the club, rather go to Saudi Arabia and make more money with good environment, regardless of not night life. If others can stay he can too, beside Saudi Arabia is now recognized internationally, every investment of football are all focus on the new discovery Saudi Arabia pro league. Brozovic deserve better and he should not make a fast decision.

Maybe he has other considerations so he needs to ask for higher, who knows he will go once a month to find a nightclub in another country 
Whatever the reason I think it's still normal because other star players get a higher salary, it's not bad if Al Nassr gives an additional 5 million or more with additional requirements of course, after all Al Nassr has unlimited funds.

I don't want Marcelo Brozovic to lose this opportunity just because he bargains too hard. The amount being offered by Al Nassr (£20 million per year) is not that bad, given his current salary (€11,110,000 per year with Inter Milan). And I don't have a very good opinion about Barcelona. I don't like the way they treat their payers. Al Nassr on the other hand takes care of their players very well. The only issue for Brozovic is that he needs to reside in Saudi Arabia, where there are no night clubs and need to stay away from alcoholic drinks.

It is rumored that Marcelo Brozovic is indeed closer to Al Nassr and negotiations should have started on Monday, if an agreement is reached then in the next few days this player will be announced. Inter and Al Nassr have agreed and now that negotiations refer to salaries reportedly he wants more than 20 million per season, I think this makes sense because the other players got more.

So both Barcelona and Al Nassr are going to fight over Marcelo Brozovic? According to rumors, the deal will between Inter and Al Nassr on Brozovic will see the player getting paid around £20 million per year until mid-2027. Al Nassr seems to be having the advantage now, as Barcelona is reported to be short on funds. They need to sell some of their current players, before they can make a move on Brozovic. Anyway, one thing is for sure. Brozovic's stint at Inter Milan is coming to an end (he has been representing them for the last 8 years).

Brozovic is one of the most experienced players in Croatia and he run a lot during World Cup 2022 tournament. Signing with a player who played many big matches in Euro, World Cup and Champions League like Brozovic is smart. He is a very workaholic player and always ready to contribute his power for the team.

It looks like Saudi Arabian clubs and their league made very good strategies to develop their league and they don't spend money for non sense. All transfers are considered carefully and they want to not only make noise for their league, attract television companies from Europe but also want to create long term good development chances for their local players to learn from those European-migrated star players.

The young players rejecting the deals still wants a legacy for their names because they want to be remembered as one of the players than won trophies with their current clubs. These players still have many years left in their footballing career to play in Europe and win trophies. They know if they leave their present club to move to Saudi Arabia, it means they're ending their career as no serious club in Europe will be scouting in Saudi Arabia for players and they won't be getting any consideration since they aren't probably  popular. Not every player is like Zlantan Ibrahimovic that can go out of European but still get sorted after by big clubs in Europe.

Football is changing, with the right price everyone is buyable and they can forget about their dreams to chase the money. The right money hasn't been offered to this young players and when they weigh the benefits of taking the contract at Saudi Arabia and what they'll get still playing for Europe in regards to fame and recognition, they'll prefer playing in Europe. The competition in Europe is more intense and the trophies are more recognizable in football that whatever is going on in Saudi Arabia leagues. Saudi Arabia thinks they can use money to influence the quality of their league but they'll need more than money if they want their League to be among one of the best in the world.

The government invests into marketing to bring more economy within the country. The government have understood that having oil alone not gonna make them in a better position and thats the reason why it have begun to focus on different things. The focus is to diversify its oil economy and develop public service sectors, infrastructure, tourism, and investment activities. Part of this comes the sports development along with the cultural and entertainment. Lets see whether Saudi Arabia will succeed in its goal. The first step is a success and the government have allocated good fund which is also a major thing for the good progress in reaching its goal.

Im the only one who see this Saudi boom in football like the Chinese boom we see several years ago?.

ITs like the same, i hope this one not ended like the chinese one, who ended up being a non sense for a few years, and after that dissapear.

The interesting thing about the Saudi Arabian teams is they don't just invest money to make their teams have better performance, they invest to make more marketing power for their country. In fact, whenever a player joins these teams their country will have the chance to attract more attention and this can have good economic benefits for them.
Whenever a superstar joins the Saudi Arabian teams they will have more people watching the games and this definitely brings more sponsors for the Saudi teams.  

Agree. I also expect him to stay in Europe because he still performed well. He just doesn't get enough time to play, he mostly sit on the bench. In the current transfer window, I really expect Real Madrid to sign him but Real Madrid prefers to sign Joselu. I don't know why Real Madrid doesn't want to sign this player, he is actually suitable with Real Madrid. I'm sure Firmino's salary isn't a problem for Real Madrid, he shouldn't ask for big salary. Sure, Arab clubs will offer bigger salary for him, but the competition in Europe is better than SPL competition.

Yeah but not official announcement has been coming so far. Firmino is still in the process from completing the transfer. I think that we can think if the announcement will come from al ahli directly after the club will be completing the medical checkup for him and signed the contract.
Im thinking we shall wait at least a week to see that happens. I hope the deal will be finished as soon as possible.



It's not a rumor for juventus but firmino is not interesting to play in serie a. Real madrid never approaching him. I heard that if this club wanna use him as a backup striker for the club but nothing concrete has been coming from real madrid and firmino sides.
I think that it's quite big chance for him to accept an offer from al ahli. He has been rejecting some popular clubs and he is trying to get into the club that paid him with good salary.

This player must have a prospective attribute and success story in football to justify why he is being scouted by the Saudi league. Despite his injuries last season, which had to have lowered his performance level, some teams still need him to join them. It is up to him to determine whether he is leaving for more playing time and value or departing for more salary elsewhere, and his decision now will have long-term consequences.

Of course, the salary is what it is all about. I am not criticizing him as, it is rather the opposite. I liked him as a player so much that I would have enjoyed to see him playing in the European competitions. But he made his choice and he won't be the last one who is going to decide against Europe and going to Saudi Arabia. I'll keep in mind that I wanted to check the salaries per league per year in maybe one or two years from now. The SPL numbers must be mooning.

When Firmino was without a club, this condition was taken advantage of by the Al Ahli club, because that way they could bring in players like Firmino without having to pay a transfer fee. With Firmino joining, he will add to the list of league players in Europe who have moved to the Saudi Arabian league. Previously, we knew that Karim Benzema had also signed a contract at Al Ittihad along with fellow countryman N'Golo Kante. However, the most interesting thing is Luka Modric, who is not tempted by offers from Arab league clubs. He (Luka Modric), who is reportedly also in demand by Al Hilal and Al Ahli, but he still decided to stay at Real Madrid.

It's just that I wonder why no European club wants a player like Firmino even though he is a player who has no ego, plays for the benefit of the team, his teamwork is good, he is also flexible, can play in various positions. But whatever it is Firmino's decision must still be respected, maybe this is a wise decision considering the salary offered by Al Ahli.

Previously, the name Firmino was associated with 2 Laliga teams, namely Barcelona and Real Madrid. However, no one has confirmed that Firmino will go to one of the teams in Laliga because the two teams do not seem too serious about getting Firmino signature. Yes, it has been widely reported that Inter Milan are also interested in signing Firmino in this summer's transfer window. But recently, only Al Ahli is likely to be the front-runner to get Firmino because this is based on the seriousness of Al Ahli in approaching Firmino. At the beginning of the month Firmino status will be a free transfer player and he officially parted ways with Liverpool after 8 seasons with Liverpool. Now, if Al Ahli can bring in Firmino, of course there will be many players from the EPL who have joined the Saudi Arabian league team because they are able to provide a bigger salary compared to European teams. Well for this I think we will see another surprise that happened in the transfer market this season.

Most people don’t know anything about all of those Saudi teams, even the Al Nassr which Ronaldo is currently in, people outside Saudi don’t know about it before, but immediately they signed Ronaldo they club because so popular, Al Nassr signing Ronaldo have brought a-lots of popularity in some of the clubs in Arabian clubs, but with the players clubs in Arab countries are going for, they are getting more popularity, which with time their league will also be a very popular league which everyone will be talking about, because most of the teams in the league are really spending money on getting talented players. Significant numbers of players are leaving the premier league clubs and going to Saudi clubs, which is already contributing to the popularity of their league.

Marcelo Brozovic is one the most outstanding players in the Italian League. And despite his veteran age, he still can successfully deliver great performances when he's called upon.
I think it is still too early for a player of Brozovic standard to leave Europe now because the mouthwatering financial package that comes with the Saudi Arabian clubs offers.

The bluagrana were unlucky not to increase their bids for the Croatia international. Al Nasser is already interested in Brozovic, and we know that any player a Saudi club admires, they pay an enormous amount of money and beat their competitors. Marcelo Brozovic will leave Inter Milan this summer; he has pushed up to start a new chapter somewhere else. Barcelona have no chance of signing Marcelo Brozovic since a Saudi team is interested. Only the massive offer from these Saudi clubs will change the minds and decisions of these players.
