I don't think Ronaldo has ever regretted joining Al Nassr they had enough good intentions so it was their choice, I know Ronaldo still failed this season because he couldn't bring any trophies and this club failed in all competitions but that doesn't mean Ronaldo has regrets because that and of course he has made a lot of contributions including to the team and also the fans are glancing at this SPL league.

About Messi it has been his choice to Inter Miami but I have never heard that he will be the ambassador for the 2026 world cup later even though it is very close to him, the real thing that Messi earns more money is that there are several clauses from other sponsors who are part of Messi.
Yeah Inter Miami has been selling tickets more expensive than usual but look at Al Nassr has sold a lot more jerseys including the broadcasting rights of the SPL league now it's even more extraordinary because of Ronaldo's popularity.

If also Messi had come here and in a different team than Ronaldo and Benzema would have made this league really good,it would have improved it a lot.I would have loved for him to come here since many players like Ronaldo and Benzema did so in their last years of playing football.Nevertheless this league will still be great with 2 additions like Ronaldo and Benzema although I think the Al Nassr management should let Ronaldo play in Champions League with Newcastle as they have a clause in his contract.

Messi made the best choice for football to continue getting entertaining, if he had joined Saudi Arabia then all attention would had shifted to Saudi Arabia league but now the attention gets distributed between the Americans and The Saudi Arabians. 2026 world cup is coming to America so the Americans really needed the attention Messi is going to bring to their country. By Messi going to one of the worst team, he's putting himself in a good position Incase the team doesn't win anything next season. The small achievement the club would achieved will all be credited to messi and that's why Messi has always had a better career than Cristiano Ronaldo because he makes good decisions for his career.

Ronaldo joining Al Nassr was a big mistakes as they'll be regretting not signing Messi which was their first choice. Ronaldo joined the club yet they couldn't win anything, they got knockout from cup competition and missed out of the league. Next season Ronaldo better helps the club in winning the league or he'll be cancelled meanwhile Messi will be celebrated and probably been made the ambassador of the 2026 world cup since he's now the most popular football player that's in the country. Already the club he signed for are getting positive returns from this deal as ticket for the full season are sold out at expensive prices.

This is a field of money and when they are already very difficult for big clubs in Europe, there is really nothing wrong with moving to a place where at least even though the competition is still minimal, there is no doubt about salaries and facilities.
On the other hand, even if it's like that, the Saudi Professional League seems to have its own targets for this and indeed it is proven that by bringing in some big players like Cristiano and now there is Benzema, Kante and even the news about Zaha who will be attending this will obviously make them more able to impact in terms of popularity because regardless of anything this is also quite important for them.

Indeed, this is very important for the role of European players who will join the SPL team and not only that if they can motivate each other with local Arab players, I think it will grow more confidence to be the best one day. With the help of the media, we can also find out how football is developing in the Saudi league, such as sports facilities, training grounds, or other things that can make players from other Europe interested in joining the Saudi league team. But one thing is quite certain as what Cristiano Ronaldo said that the SPL will be able to become the top 5 leagues in the world in the next 5 or 10 years if there are many players who come from Europe.

That sounds non sense since messi already signed a contract with miami. Al hilal will not be willing to pay his release clause. Messi has been choosing his best way to continue his career in the football. That thing that i need to see if hilal gonna find a replacement for messi. Al Hilal failed to catch Messi, which was very bad for them.. It seems like that messi was feeling awkward to compete with ronaldo in saudi pro league.
That's why messi was choosing intermiami to be his next club. Intermiami was the worst club in MLS. I hope that messi will come back to the EU again or play in the saudi pro league.
It will be far better for him. I think that we shall wait a few years to see that happen.

At this point in his career Benzema decision to join Al Ittihad is undoubtedly a crucial one. He has left a lasting impression on Real Madrid history and solidified his reputation as a legend as a player who enjoyed great success with the team. He will have the chance to take on a fresh challenge and play football abroad by joining a club like Al Ittihad. The decision is definitely appealing financially because it will give him future financial security. The ambitious initiative undertaken by Al Ittihad and their efforts to put together a strong team further add to the intrigue around this new phase in Benzema career. The possibility of watching Benzema and Ronaldo rivalry who recently switched clubs adds an exciting dimension to the football environment.

I doubt Benzema will be able to give the same performance as he did in Real Madrid.  Cuz there in Madrid, I believed there were other significant players Vinicius Jnr, Krooz, Luca Modric, Rodrigo, and Ascensio, whose best were good enough to push Karim to the high he was in Madrid. This class of players is not in the Saudi Arabia league and with this factor, Benzema's performance will decrease.  But he may still be in the limelight because of the easy playing moment he will have there. Cuz I consider the Arab League as a less difficult league than the Spanish La Liga

The signing of big players into the Saudi Arabian League is getting very much interested. I could remember when Ronaldo was newly signed into the league many people thoughts that will be the end of his career but it is still getting interesting and making other players to take the same steps,  has also made the league to become more popular.

So far the Saudi Professional League is very far behind unlike the European League which has been loved by many football fans around the world.
At first Ronaldo moved to play for the Saudi team, there was a lot of talk about football there, even some fans started following the Saudi League to be able to watch their favorite players play for the team they followed.
If more and more top players from Europe move to play for Saudi teams then in the future the Saudi League can be more famous and liked by more people.
This is an opportunity to be able to show that the Saudi League can also develop.

The future plan of the Saudi Arabian league is that they will become as popular as the European leagues. For which they are already signing the best stars in the world to their clubs with more money. They have started to influence Saudi League football more after the end of the World Cup in Qatar. The way they are focusing on football at the moment looks like they will be in a good position in the future. Saudi Arabian clubs are spending a lot of money to make them popular and to improve in the world. Two legends players have already joined Saudi clubs. The Saudi league is offering huge sums of money to bring the world's biggest stars to their clubs in order to reach the highest level.

Not only does Saudi Arabia want to improve their football, but they also want to improve their tourism sector. This is why they are taking world-star players to Saudi Arabia. And one of the world's biggest football fanbases is taking interest in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia's performance in Qatar World Cup was not good. No one expects anything good from the Saudi Arabian team. This team was not very strong either. But they were able to beat the champions Argentina which is their big achievement. Several star players have joined the Saudi league. But we don't know if this will improve the performance of their national team.

If these rich Saudi clubs can bring high profile old players in this league then bringing coaches is also not problem for them but most chances we will not have José Mourinho here in this league because he will be not going to do any experiment with having links to do good job in UEFA which is much better and competitive for him and his reputation but Steven Gerrard which is relatively new in this field can try here because this can create good chance for him after having not good experience in Premier League in his first stint.

Xavi was also coaching in Bahrain before doing amazing job in Barcelona so if he wants to do better for his future he needs to join here, hopefully this all will help him for increasing his experience and doing experiment in his strategies.

It's only a matter of time before the Saudi Arabia league's planning becomes as popular as European championships. Their autonomous professional source of resources and finances will influence their approach to football, as they will use what they have to search for what they desire. Saudi Arabia has a poor record in the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Although they consistently failed to go beyond the group stage in major country events, the more essential thing was to brighten their domestic league. Improvements and signing of significant personalities in the football world.

After defeating in a match against Argentina in the Qatar World Cup, Saudi Arabia was widely criticized in the football world. I think since then Saudi Arabia has been taking various steps to bring more changes in football. As this country is financially self-sufficient, they are ready to take any player to their clubs even if they pay the most according to the demand. Especially after Ronaldo joined the Saudi  club, now other players have also started to arrive. Benzema joined the Saudi club recently and it got more attention from people in the football world. By the next few years, these Saudi clubs will rise to the highest level in terms of eligibility. The world's biggest star players will be waiting to play in the Saudi club.

I think the money is the only reason and nothing else. I mean this dude won't be making this much in his life, for a few more seasons as player and nothing else after that, this dude will not make this much money ever, he was offered money he wouldn't earn ever again.

That is why he didn't turn it down, there aren't that many players that would be worth 100 million euro as a transfer fee let alone as salary, famously the biggest one is 60 million and mbappe if I am not wrong, with the loyalty bonus (signing fee) that becomes a bit closer to 100 but still not there. This dude is making 100+ million a year easily, that's just unheard of, and he is almost at retirement age as well. I am pretty sure that there aren't that many players who would reject that, only like handful of players who would and they are mostly young (and apparently Messi as well).

More stars have arrived since Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at Saudi clubs. Ever since Karim Benzema joined the Al Ittihad club a few days ago, the massive discussion has come to a head. Of course, Saudi clubs are ready to get bigger stars because they have brought in players with the most money shortages. Once upon a time, Saudi clubs would be filled with stars as the tragic joy worked within them and ready to take the clubs to the pinnacle of development. The audience is just waiting for the match between Ronaldo Club and Benzema Club to take place.

Yes, I agree with your view, the Arab League began to be prestigious with the arrival of Ronaldo and finally Benzema also followed in Ronaldo's footsteps. Of course with the arrival of Roanldo (CR7) and Benzema (KB9) with fantastic value. Of course, the benefits that the club or Arab league gets are also reasonable, apart from what you mentioned above. among others :

- Arab league broadcasting rights up
- Sales of team merchandise will increase
- Arab league coverage in major media
- Ticket revenue. Etc
 
What is certain is that it cannot be denied that the Arab League will be even more exciting and interesting to watch. I also admit that Ronaldo has indeed succeeded in becoming a magnet so that European players are interested in playing in the Arab league at the end of their careers. The best league for superstars who are about to retire. Maybe this is also one of Saudi Arabia's visions and missions to change the center in 2030.

Benzema is joining the league with him being on top level, unlike Ronaldo who was kind of struggling with man utd, Benzema on the other hand was popping off with Real Madrid and we havn't seen a big degrade in his performance, i wonder if he can play the same with different teammates, it will be interesting to say the least.

A bit surprised that if saudi clubs are willing to get two EU coaches. Mourinho has been linked to the al hilal.Mou's track record is very good in EU competitions while gerard is always having bad result in the EPL as a manager.
I don't even expect it these clubs were even willing to sign two coaches from european competition. The competition gonna be even more interesting if mou and gerard will be agreed to come to the saudi pro league as soon as possible.
Saudi clubs are going so crazy these days. So many targets must be meet by them before transfer season end.
