Ruben Neves is only a star player in Wolves and he might not play well in big clubs. He is already 26-years old and he is less famous than Hulk who decided to leave Europe and played in Chinese league years ago. It is not wrong for his life if he leaves Europe and joins Saudi Professional League to receive x10 salary. If he stays in Europe, leaves Wolves and moves to a bigger club, he might face with a difficult future and even will have to spend his time on bench. So no better career and no improvement for his finance.
Ruben Neves is not a famous player like Haaland and other players but we know that even Barcelona is interested in buying it but Barcelona is constrained by financial problems this means that Ruben Neves already has a good level. In addition, Ruben might realize that there will be more European players joining the Saudi League so it is not too bad for his career progress, he is also young and has a chance in the next few years.
At the age of 26, of course, that is still a young age, and at an age that is still very productive like that, I think it is too soon to choose to play in the Saudi Professional League. But yes, if Rúben Neves chooses to get more playing time for a high fee, then playing in the Saudi Professional League is the right choice. After all, currently playing in the Saudi Professional League is also not bad, because, in the current transfer window, many great players can be confirmed to play in the Saudi Professional League next season.
He is young and has the liberty to change where he plays, even after joining Saudi Arabian professional football. That's his mentality and the mentality of some young players who find the decision of joining the league profitable.
But one thing most young players don't understand is the resultant effect of leaving Europe football. No matter the number of top European players moving to the SPL, Europe football remains the best. Based on its standard, it adds faster to the lives of young players than the SPL which is restrictions and rules-based. Only but few will happily come to buy you Back in the SPL cuz they will feel u have a drop in worth/Value
I'm just saying something, for now the interest in bringing good players to the Saudi League was awakened by CR7, at one point there was a lot of speculation with Messi, but it's a shame, they couldn't bring Messi, Messi opted to go to a calmer futbol where he will have much more peace of mind, it's not bad, he thought of him and his family, my best wishes to him, but we are used to seeing players of this stature and veterans come to the Saudi League, or at least were offered to go But with the young players, this means things are getting much better for the Arabs, I think it's a great strategy to use these players to grow Saudi fútbol.
Sure, a monetary bonus would be nice. When the numbers are as staggering as they are, it's hard to say no. Firmino, however, is not just any player; he is a top-tier talent. Isn't he hurting himself by moving to the Arab Pro League, where he won't have to compete for a starting spot? There might be greater room for him to display his talents, but at what cost? Not everyone dreams of sitting on the bench in Europe, but it's better to be a minor player in a large league than a star in a small one. In addition, going back to Europe at a later time may be unlikely. Just think about the hassle of trying to decipher complex documents and haggle over transfer fees. Oh boy!
He probably thought about everything as best he could before he actually accepted the offer to join the Al-Ahli team, let alone the team's status as a promotion team this season. I think Firmino has buried his dream of returning to Europe in the coming seasons because he thinks that his career has ended on the European stage. Just like you, he is quite a talented player and has more abilities than the average other players in the Al-Ahli Squad, so that way he will easily develop his talents to become the top scorer next season.
Now, with a big salary someone will forget their fame on the European stage and that's what's happening right now. Firmino will get everything at Al Ahli starting from a big salary and the joy of life when he is entering old age.
It is not necessary to think that every player who goes to Arab soccer is not going to do badly or that his level will drop, it is not like that, worrying is about those who go to the MLS, where the real league is not so interesting, but at least you see some money there and peace of mind, at least that's what Messi said, I don't know how things will be, as far as I'm concerned if he goes there I think he'll do very well, everyone tries to see that this football is not that good, and I think they are wrong, this league is interesting, and I know that in the near future they will be a great league and that many players will want to go there and not to Europe, they do not worry about money because salaries are pretty good.
In addition, Firmino is a Brazilian player and has a lot of ability, it is one of the things that we cannot forget, it is not known, he can be in Arab soccer and he can still be called to his national team to represent him, a clear example is CR7, he He is still a player who is called to his team and they have incredible respect for him. If he can, every player can and has the ability to be like that and never lose his level.
Roberto Firmino breaks silence on Saudi Arabia move after leaving LiverpoolRoberto Firmino has expressed his delight at signing for Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli after the expiry of his contract at Liverpool.
The 31-year-old's time on Merseyside came to an end upon the conclusion of the 2022-23 season after eight years at Anfield. It was an emotional farewell for the Brazilian forward as he made a timely contribution scoring the equaliser against Aston Villa before netting in the 4-4 draw with Southampton on the final day of the season.
Firmino decided not to extend his stay beyond an eighth year on Merseyside despite the intentions of Jurgen Klopp to retain his services. It was reported by German media that the former TSG Hoffenheim striker didn't enter negotiations with other clubs when the window became open in January out of respect to the Reds.
Throughout the summer, he has been pictured in the gym getting up to speed ahead of his time in new surroundings and last week, he was confirmed as the latest arrival in the Saudi Pro League.
