Yeah, that makes other european players are feeling confident to go there. Ronaldo has proven even though he must be playing in the different time zone and season, it's not a big problem for ronaldo. The players can start to adapt with the environment slowly.
That must be the main reason for other players are also interesting to go there. Benzema, kante, mendy, kouliball, ziyech and many more. They are interesting to play for saudi clubs.
They wanna be a part of the extensive projects that already planned by saudi clubs. Im very glad that if ronaldo will not become the only one who played there.
He will be having more friends to come, especially benzema as his best friend once ronaldo was still playing on real madrid,.I hope this will make saudi league to be even better.

I still believe that every player's goal and definition of success in football is linked to fame and money. They will want to grab at least one if they can’t get both. I don't see anything wrong with Saudi clubs making significant offers to great European league players to come join them and help their league grow. In exchange for their popularity, they will get more viewers, followers, and deals, allowing them to recoup more of the money they spent to get to that point. Every player has different priorities; some are motivated by money, while others are motivated by fame. However, it is exceedingly improbable that a player will go solely for fame and not for financial gain.

Since Al-Nassr signed Cristiano Ronaldo after the FIFA World Cup his influence has really made many other European players to consider  plying their trade in the Saudi Arabian League.
Ronaldo influence will before the end of the summer transfer window will make many people to join him in the league. With the way at which the Saudi Arabian League is fast growing and gaining global recognition, it might the next big league in club football and that's one the Cristiano Ronaldo effects

From the developments that have been made by the management of the Saudi Arabian Pro League, of course the developments from year to year are getting better. It's just that they started late but it doesn't really matter because they did it this year and it has proven to raise the name of the Saudi Arabia pro league even more famous. Several major Saudi Arabian pro league teams continue to target many players with well-known player status and of fairly good quality.

Benzema presence this season is sure to be talked about in every media because he was one of the stickers who was quite qualified in the past season with Real Madrid. So, with that in mind, SPL next season will certainly make a big difference in the fight for the title because two famous player names will compete with each other in bringing their teams to become champions next season.

When you doesn't have the right reason and the popularity to attract the popular figures, money have its role. This is how Saudi have prioritised money to attract the popular players into the league. The country is on the bid for the football 2030 and it doesn't want to fail as China and that's the reason it is making itself strong with the domestic setup and the leagues. Saudi Arabia Pro League have got big history, and now only it have reached the world. For betterment more foreign players need to be added. Lets wait and see whether players are passionate about spreading football around the world same as Ronaldo or not.

Ronaldo's move to Al Nasser was a tremendous grab for Saudi, and I believe it opened the door for great clubs in the league to begin making acquisitions from European football. After all, the Saudi Arabia league has what it takes to hit harder next season. Saudi clubs have been proactive in the transfer window, influencing the minds of footballers who want to generate significant figures for themselves by signing them. I don't appreciate the league since it continually deals with finances, a player can play out of personal ambition, always play for great clubs in Saudi, rewriting the story of football giants.

The effect of Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival in Saudi Arabia was quite instrumental for several other players who followed in his footsteps. In the past, the Saudi Arabian league was not so much the center of attention for European players, besides that clubs in Saudi Arabia had a lot of money and the impact of Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival was also great. Now the Saudi Arabian League competition will be more competitive and many football fans will watch the league from various television broadcasts.

Saudi Arabia does have the ability to influence business in football and even their presence is now increasingly related to European club ownership. Interestingly, offers to buy top European players were actually able to break the dominance of the big European leagues, even though those who came there had aged a little and were no longer as productive players as before.

Ziyech still has what he can offer, even how he is currently playing with the Moroccan national team at that time by playing quite impressively. unfortunately, his career with Chelsea did not go as smoothly as he had hoped. of all the coaches who handled Chelsea, Ziyech was not always included in the club's plans. now is the time, for him to get more minutes and playing time. at least, there's no way Al Nassr will let him just sit on the bench. Reportedly, Al Nassr and Hakimi Ziyech have reached an agreement on personal terms, the final details of the contract are being sealed.

Chelsea will also receive a fee for Ziyech and Kalidou Koulibaly who are close to joining Al Hilal and are due to be completed this week. for Auba, apparently still in negotiations with Saudi clubs. talks are ongoing, no agreement yet - but there are active discussions. well, at least, Al Nassr is one step ahead of the other 4 teams. even if Auba prefers to join another club, at least Al Nassr is more prepared than the other teams. Let's see and wait, which other European players are the targets of Saudi clubs.

It is majorly for the money, it cannot be for trophies and medals. But since Saudi has the money and the players need the money, then why not? I like that the Saudi's are not just trying to bring players who are close to retirement  to finish their career in the Saudi league, they are also doing their best to actively attract the young players like Kalidou Koulibaly, Rúben Neves and others. The mix in age is good for continuity.

To be fair, they don't really need to be competing with any other league in talent, the point is not to be "good", of course being good makes it easier but the point is to be viewed more, they have said this themselves. If they are one of the top 5 leagues that gets viewership, that's more than enough for them, they may not be even in top 10 leagues in talent, but if they are watched top 5 that would be more than enough.

Being there is not that impossible, if they keep getting more and more famous players, that will make people watch the games a lot more and that should result with them getting better eventually, famous players equals more viewers. Ronaldo made this happen and I think he is going to keep bringing more of his friends there for sure.

The next season for the competition is going to be really tough because some top Saudi teams have showed interest in many players currently playing in Europe and most of them are satisfied with the offers coming for them. Gradually, the unknown Saudi team is already getting media attention and following after Ronaldo join the Al-Nassr team last season. Many people assumes it’s about money most of the players are joining those teams, if that’s the reason, then it’s still okay. But I’m certain that very soon the league will no more be about that but will be a tough competitive league amongst others.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar are two separate countries and Ronaldo plays in Saudi Arabia. Al-Hilal, who made a transfer offer to Messi, is also in Saudi Arabia. I think Messi went to MLS because of the World Cup that the United States, Mexico and Canada will jointly organize in 2026. Football is not just football. We cannot ignore advertising and sponsorship agreements. Also, we cannot blame the players for not acting emotionally. First of all, it was publicly expected that Messi would return to Barcelona, but he chose MLS because he acted like a pro. I must say, I really wish the two of them could continue to play in the same league in Saudi Arabia or the USA.

I absolutely agree with your opinion on Hakim Ziyech and your desire for him to continue playing in Europe. It is always exciting to watch talented athletes continue to compete on the European arena like Ziyech. The game of football however frequently takes unexpected turns and we can never predict the decisions that players will make. The probable relocation of Ziyech to Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia presents fresh opportunities and challenges for him. It is exciting to consider the possibility of seeing Ziyech work with players like Wilfried Zaha and Cristiano Ronaldo in the upcoming season. The Saudi Arabian league may see a new level of excitement and competition as a result of this potential combination. Ziyech has the chance to contribute in a different context and have a huge impact in a new environment even though it may not have been the expected course for him.

China took that same step years ago when they signed players like Eder, Paulinho, Stephan El Shaarawy, Ezequiel Lavezzi, Carlos Tevez, etc and most of them earned from £205,000 - £798,000 per week. This was one of the highest-paying leagues around 2015-2018 and many top European players moved to China because of the big money they earned. The reason for attracting these players was to develop the Chinese local and make it competitive like the European league.

But the Chinese government failed to get the projected result because this investment neither developed the league nor attracted the needed investors. Gradually most of those big names left the league and younger stars didn't find the Chinese league interesting. The league began to lose the attention it gain from signing these big names.

Only money cannot make the Saudi League successful. The Saudi league might suffer from the same fate as the Chinese league. The greatest problem will be the political system they operate. China is not a democratic nation and the football league is controlled by the government, so the football association will not have the freedom to operate the league. It is the government that will dictate how the league will be managed. Saudi Arabia also has the same governmental system. Football will strive well in democratic nations because the football governing body has some level of autonomy.

The socio-cultural environment of both nations will also repel the development of football. A nation that doesn't promote the fundamental human right of the people will not attract quality players. In China and Saudi Arabia, there is no freedom because of the political, religious, and social organization of these countries. Some players cannot be influenced by money.

it depends on how they manage the League in their country. Saudi has a good growth orientation for the future. they brought European star players to Saudi not to waste money. Their players will feel how the game is in Europe. form a way to carry out the growth of their players. there's nothing wrong really, other than they just think of this as a very profitable business. because they have money, they have facilities like European clubs. but what they lack is how they play like European players. and the Saudis may plan to do so in the long term.

The Saudis have a game plan, I don't think any of their recent moves has much to do with developing their league. They're just seeking attention to the league first (which is also improve it) so they can succeed with their 2030 world cup bid. With them acquiring all the star players, lead by Cristiano Ronaldo, they'll definitely get that 2030 bid won. Saudi Arabia are doing the European league a favor by taking some of the old players as this gives room for more younger and talented players to have enough playing time and the spotlight to showcase their talents.

The European league shouldn't be concerned yet until they start coming for the younger players which I doubt they'll succeed doing. If the Saudis wanted to really improve their league then they should have been going for the youngster and competing with the European clubs for their signature but that's not what is happening so no need to be scared or jealous yet unless Aleksandar Ceferin sees something that we don't see which could be, the Saudis going after the old players now but changing the game plan probably after the world cup of 2030 to start chasing after the youngster and convincing them with money to move to Saudi Arabia league.

Currently, no doubt about these two teams which are doing their best for the strength of their teams and trying to have quality players, but we have another two teams which are also doing good like Al-Hilal and Al-Shabab these are also competitive and have enough sources for the better competition hopefully in next few weeks we will have good changes as few players are already in talk specially Al-Hilal is trying to have Neymar or any other big star which will give them good boost.

Ziyech and few are surely wants to stay in Europe because they are feeling it's not time for going in Saudi League even they are offering luxury offers, but one thing is sure in coming years we will have good challenge for the European clubs from these Saudi Clubs due to their huge funds.

In recent times, the Saudi Pro League has been heavily criticized for buying some of Europe's renowned players. Now big footballers will travel to Saudi. So what will happen to some of Europe's biggest leagues, asked UEFA president Aleksandar Ceferin. But he explained the matter as normal. He feels that players who are at the very end of their careers have only started their journey to Saudi. He thinks that it will be a loss for the Saudi if they continuously spend lot of money for buying Eropean footballer. Because they are not producing any of their own players. China also took such steps earlier but later failed.

What message Aleksandar Ceferin is sending? is it just a part of jealousy or is it just a consolation for the European League?. I think if Saudi's public investment fund (PIF) support the Saudi clubs continuously then the Saudi league will definitely be successful.

Not only that, but it is now clear that they have a comprehensive plan and everything is well-considered. Making Messi and Ronaldo ambassadors is no coincidence and I think they will keep bringing in well known players for several years now or they even have bigger plans and organize their own international league with more money than anyone could think of. But the Wikipedia article says that Egypt already withdrew from the joint bid. Still when so many popular players are part of the SPL and they combine such a huge following, it will be hard to deny Saudi Arabia the World Cup.

It has been reportedly if mendy already agreed personal term. Finally, the way for him to go to the saudi club become even closer. Mendy gonna be the first recruitment from al ahli. The club was offering him very big salary.
I hope that the transfer will be going smootly. Al ahli is now focusing to get another player from different club while chelsea has been successfully selling some players to the saudi clubs like ziyech and mendy even koulibally.
Chesea is also making its club have very close relationship to the saudi club. It seems like that saudi club will be very welcome from any good players from chelsea.
We do know that so players who will be leaving from the club have been winning so many trophies and they have amazing potential.
