Alex Telles joined Manchester United for €15m in 2015. His actual market value is the half of what it been when he joined the club and regarding his age, I think Manchester United will accept any price given by Saudis.
There is another player, Seko Fofana, who moved from Lens to Al Nassr for €19m while his market value is higher. Since the salary perceived by these players is way higher than their current ones, then switching continent is more than justified.

It's not a big deal , Al nassr just needs to pay their bills because there are payments that have not been completed so when they want to bring in new players then the previous problems must be resolved first I'm sure it's easy to solve. Alex Telles is one of the Manchester United players who failed to break into the main squad so he was loaned out and released this season , I don't know what price Manchester has set for this player.

Maybe by bringing in Alex Telles, Al-Nassr's defense can become stronger. Alex Telles is a pretty good defender. He has defended Sevilla on loan since last season. He is a Manchester United player. And it looks like he is included in the list of players that will be released by Man United this season.

Eh, but I just remembered about Al-Nassr's problem with FIFA which has the potential to prevent Al-Nassr from registering the new players they get. Has this problem been resolved by Al-Nassr?

The main problem is the quality of the Saudi Arabian League, their quality has not been recognized by the world. In addition, what you say is also true. Although Ronaldo has said, the Saudi Arabian League will not be too difficult for him. But that statement doesn't seem to apply to players entering retirement age. So for the young players I think Europe is still the Favourite league and moving to the Saudi Arabian League is the last alternative after they don't have a club in Europe. In addition, you have to remember, the salary offered is also attractive because it is quite large.

Not all European league players are willing to join Saudi clubs, even though they are offered much higher salaries. there are several names that have clearly rejected the offer, like Lukaku for example who prefers to continue playing in the Europa League competition. several other names that are not too exposed to the media, one of them is Lewandowski. without exception, Bernardo Silva rejected the offer. Clearly, he is a player many clubs have targeted. maybe for him, football is not just about money. maybe, he wants to achieve something that he wants to achieve in his career.

Maybe also, there are many players who refuse to make a career in the Saudi Pro League competition and we don't know about it. and almost the average player who moved to this competition, was no longer getting an ideal position at the club at that time. perhaps, some of them were in the prime of their careers. but for the most part, players who move into this competition are predominantly aged 30+. yes, a decent price to end their career. after all, it is not certain that these players appear with high performance like when they play for Europe's top leagues. but at least, this competition is getting more competitive with many top European players involved. as a football lover, I am happy especially that Saudi is part of Asia.

Al Nassr's undoing came after Abdulelah Al Amri was shown a red card and that left Al Nassr with only play with 10 players, because if Al Nassr were still playing with 11 players then it looks like Al Nassr would also be able to hold Celta Vigo to a draw result. But yes, however, it will certainly not be possible if Al Nassr only hopes only on Ronaldo, because they must be able to play with better teamwork. Considering, Al Nassr's rival teams in the Saudi Professional League also have star players, and that will have an impact on the results in the league later. So yes, this pre-season match should be able to achieve better results, of course, to prepare for the new season better and promise good results too.

Al-Nassr officially introduced their new recruit from Lens, namely Seko Fofana and it looks like they want to continue to add to their European line-up. Seko Fofana is a good player and he plays as a midfielder, he is expected to help maintain stability in the Al-Nassr midfield starting next season as well as being able to make a better contribution to the team. Seko Fofana will be on the same team as Cristiano Ronaldo and also the previous new signing, Marcelo Brozovic. I think this is a fairly mature recruit from Al-Nassr because Seko Fofana is still 28 years old and of course they spent a lot of money to be able to bring him Lens.

Lots of players are going to Saudi league just because of the amount they will be paid, but I don’t think any players will want to go to Saudi league to build their career their, that’s why most of the players that are going to Saudi league are the once that are old already, they just want money because most of them will be hanging their boots soon. Some talented players that went to the league previously just because of the amount they are being offered are no where to be found again, they just destroyed their career because of money. Am sure Mbappe and Haaland knows about this and am sure they won’t want to end their career so early, so am sure the two players won’t even go to Saudi league for now, but I don’t know about later in the future.

Some players won’t go the a club because of money, some of them will want to build their career and they won’t want to go to league that when they get their, then nobody will be talking about them anymore, Mbappe and Haaland are the two players everyone are talking about currently, if they can go to Saudi league then they already spoil their career already because attention will be shifted from them. Am sure Mbappe and Haaland might end up going to Saudi League when they are getting old already, but I don’t believe it’s going to be now.

Christiano Ronaldo was closed the possibilities to return to europe this because he feel comfortable to playing at Al Nassr moreover currently he was 38 years old so with his current age Ronaldo was very doubt his fitness still can able to playing at high level of competitions on Europe so that's why he was decide to staying much longer at Al Nassr

Pre season match for Al Nassr doesn't run well because yesterday they were lost with huge scores 5-0 against Laliga team Celta Vigo although Al Nassr were playing with their best starting lineup with Ronaldo and new player just like Marcelo Brozovic but Al Nassr unable to performing well and this is big alert for Al Nassr and they have to evaluated that loses however Al Nassr has 3 more matches for pre season against Benfica, PSG, and Al Shabab

I'm not entirely sure, but it may possible like Ronaldo move to Saudi Arabia, and other players followed him. However, the quality standard of the Saudi Pro League doesn't really match up to any European league. This season, there have been some improvements as teams adding quality players, but it won't guarantee boost their game as immediate effect. Actually, players moving to Saudi Arabia has nothing to do quality game; it's more about crazy bids and high salaries. It's nothing special. China tried similar but didn't succeed. I have doubts that it will be same with Saudi Arabia once they've collected their own share and move on.

If I'm not mistaken Alex Telles was loaned to Sevilla last season, but it seems that his performance was also not good in the Spanish team and at the end of last June his loan contract expired which made him return to Manchester United. I think it is a good step if Alex Telles can join Al-Nassr because of course he will be in the same team as his former Manchester United team-mate, Cristiano Ronaldo.

After all, right now Alex Telles seems to have nowhere to go home in Europe and maybe continuing his future in the Saudi league team would not hurt either. He will be an important part of the Al-Nassr project and is expected to give the team the performance it deserves in the future.

It seems another player is going to join Al Nasr and the Saudi league, Alex Telles is the next player and he is going to join Ronaldo. The interesting thing about Al Nasr is once again people think the reason why many played joined this team is because of Ronaldo and this Brazilian player, Alex Telles is another player who is going to join Ronaldo.

I don't think Mbappe and Haaland will go to the Saudi league at this stage, I don't even think it's likely to happen. These kind of star players are not satisfied until they achieve success and stay at the top for a long time. They can't buy that satisfaction with money.

When they reach a certain age, they can go to the Saudi League, but it's too early now. Such transfers are unlikely to happen. Let's say it happened. Then European football is over. European football can never return to its former glory.

I don't think they will go to the Saudi league without reaching their goals at a young age, but maybe something like this can happen. If they give $60-70 million to Manchester City and $100 million to Haaland in return for a one-year lease, maybe he can play in the Saudi league for a year. Apart from that, the Saudis have no chance to buy these players at this age.

If someone cannot be bought for money, then it means that he can be bought for a lot of money 
All these considerations that you wrote are obvious, but nothing can be sure. For example, if a salary cap is introduced in Europe (which is already being talked about) and players will choose between a salary in Europe and x10 salary in Saudi Arabia, many, maybe even Mbappe with Haaland, will choose Saudi Arabia.

How can they move to the Saudi team if in Europe they are still getting high pay and selling prices? Mbappe is currently 150M and Haaland 100M+ their age is so easy they wouldn't think of moving they still have targets in Europe for so long because they are so young, so I wouldn't think a Saudi team could sign them even if their offer is exorbitant.

Those are the two world stars currently being talked about especially Mbappe who is one of the most expensive players at the moment if they are going to break records in that regard, the Saudi team can only wait until he is old then his fate will be the same as Ronaldo and Messi.

Glad someone shares my position. I'd like to see clubs go out of their way to help their players too, especially those who have done a lot for the team, like Henderson for Liverpool.
Such pettiness on the part of the club, when because of a couple of million a player is ruined a huge contract and future career looks very bad. Especially strange for Liverpool, who are proud of their traditions.

Henderson is also apparently a very good person. For all his life he has played for only 2 clubs, where he showed himself with the best side, keeps himself in shape, in scandals and walks in clubs like Grealish is not noticed and in principle in Saudi Arabia he will probably be comfortable.
So if I were Liverpool I would give a chance to reunite two legends of the club - Henderson and Gerrard.

That is 100% true, there is no reason to still keep him if you are not planning on making him play all the time, I think it would be better if he was sent to Saudi league so he could have a long and healthy career with a lot of money.

Think about it, he could get AT MAX maybe 10 million from Liverpool as salary, probably not that much of course, instead he could get like 200 million for 5 years at Saudi league, that's more than a whole careers worth of money and they should let him go there if he wants to, that would be a lot better for him. This would make him both keep on playing because he would be good for that league without a doubt, but also make a lot of money and also Liverpool would keep a captain they had very happy with that decision.

Im feeling curious about how much his fees. As far as i know that if sevilla in the needs of money right now. The club is trying to sell all of players on its mainsquad as long as the club will able to raise at least 90 millions to pay the debt.
The transfer between sevilla and ettifaq will be going very smooth. It's caused by the fact that if sevilla will not able to refuse it due tot he financial pressure that was happening with the club.
Rekik seemingly to be very close to join in ettifaq. He may be doing medical test in upcoming days and that's it. Ettifaq gonna recruit him as a new defender as preparation for upcoming season. Ettifaq gonna face al nassr in the first match of saudi pro league.

Another player will be joining in saudi pro league. SPL gonna have so many new players to come before end of summer.

Haaland and Mbappe have many choices and they are very ambitious players so at their ages now, it is impossible to see them playing in Saudi Professional League. Because it will affect their career in national team, performances in big tournaments and if they move to Saudi, they will have to stay there at least two years. They only have zero tax if they spend a whole year which belongs to 2 seasons in Saudi.

Champions League and Ballon d'Or, they will not have such if they move to Saudi Professional League. They are young enough to think of retiring too early like that. Maybe we can return to their future in Saudi Professional League when they are around 28 to 30 years old because at such age, they can consider more about money from Saudi Arabian clubs if they satisfy with their achievements in Europe.
