In one factor, Benzema's belief was the thing that made him interested in playing in the Saudi Arabian league. Apart from that, in terms of age and salary, the offer is a second choice for him to play in an easier league due to the aging factor.  Also another thing is the existence of the figure of Ronaldo, who is likely for him to be one of the challenges to accept this offer.

Al ittihad are the reigning champions this season and they seem to be continuing to make changes in the squad to increase their strength for next season. With the arrival of kante and Benzema I think they are relatively strong next season even Al nassr will most likely find it difficult to stop Al ittihad in the next season. There are still a lot of players who are likely to join the SPL this season.

The reason why European players troping the Saudi Arabian League is because used clubs has the money to get this player and with time the Saudi Arabia League will be very interesting League because of the players they can afford to be in their league. Next season will be very interesting because more European players will be playing in the league.

We agree, maybe the main reason Benzema is willing to accept Al Ittihad's offer is the fantastic salary, at the end of his career in football. besides that, Benzema has an interest if we refer based on his beliefs. so, I wouldn't doubt if Benzema can adapt well, in fact it looks like Benzema will achieve chemistry quickly with his new club. because, culturally, he knows very well the conditions of the Saudi Pro League. and, most likely if Benzema will be a tough competitor in terms of scoring goals in this competition. thus, there will be tough competition between the two former stars who have both played for the Real Madrid club. looks like this league will be more interesting. in fact, it is not impossible, if Al Shabab, Al Hilal, Al Ahli, will bring in other stars to enliven this increasingly competitive competition. although, basically their goal is nothing but promoting Saudi itself in the eyes of the world. at least, we have a new spectacle besides the European league competition. unfortunately, Messi prefers MLS rather than enlivening the trend to this competition.

You can count on it that it is just a matter of time before this competition will be full of European top players, or at least good players. I find it strange anyway that it has taken so long for someone like Ronaldo to come to this country. The amounts you can earn there, you have to play football for a few years in Europe or perhaps the rest of your career. I read somewhere that Benzema will soon earn about half a million euros a day. That is a considerable wage, Ronaldo will probably also be around that rate. Those sheikhs can easily afford that. This competition will only get stronger and stronger.

First, Al Nassr made a mistake by sacking Rudi Garcia when the competition was nearing its end. after the dismissal of Rudi Garcia, Al Nassr fell to Al Hilal and lost in the King's Cup semifinal match against Al Wehda. after that, Al Nassr was only able to win 3 of their 5 matches, the other 2 matches ended in draws. meaning, the new coach needs time and chemistry with the players to build a system that works the way he wants. however, that decision actually made Al Nassr even further away from the Saudi Pro League championship trophy.
at least, if there will be a change of coach, it will be done after the competition is over. anyway, Rudi Garcia isn't so bad. Unfortunately, internal problems in the dressing room turned out to be a rash decision. which in the end, the Al Nassr players needed a new adjustment to the style and the new coach system. as a result, as we see that Al Ittihad has ensured the Saudi Pro League trophy.

On the other hand, I don't blame Ronaldo. but it seems, Ronaldo needs more time to adapt to the Saudi Pro League style of football. one more, like you said. Ronaldo arrived in the middle of the season, so it's only natural that he couldn't live up to the expectations of the Al Nassr supporters.
well, regarding Ronaldo to Newcastle, I think it's all still just rumours. so, it is very likely that Ronaldo will stay at Al Nassr.

After Karim Benzema, Luka Modric is the next Real Madrid player facing the possibility of a summer exit.

The veteran midfielder was highly expected to pen a renewal at Santiago Bernabeu earlier in the year. But the renewal has not materialised yet, giving Saudi Arabia the opportunity to try and lure the player to the Middle East.

According to a recent report from COPE, Saudi Arabia have increased their offer for Modric and wants him to join the Saudi 2030 Project, following the footsteps of two of his former Real Madrid teammates Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.

Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr earlier in the year while Benzema recently signed a contract with Al-Ittihad. Now, the Saudi Arabian clubs are ready to make the bet on Modric, as part of their plans to sign all the recent Ballon d’Or winners.

I think Benzema is the second star after Ronaldo coming here.Benzema said I am a Muslim and I feel at home here so I talked with my family and they are happy for this decision I took.He maybe is there because of the money and say such things to justify his move which he has gotten to Al Ittihad which is the winner of this last season there and Cristiano is with Al Nassr,making this league at least somewhat more strong and beautiful to watch.An interesting fact is that both players have been Real Madrid ex players,with Ronaldo coming from United while Benzema straight from Real Madrid.Now the only one missing in this league is Messi  .

Messi has made his choice and we must agree with him on that. Benzema made his choice by accepting to play in the Saudi Arabia because is a muslim country, Ronaldo join because he wants to transform the league to top five in the wold, which is making wave already. because of Ronaldo effect people are now considering offers from Saudi Arabia. and within five years from now, the Saudi pro league will be filled with big stars from Europe, the taxations and the city is quiet impressive.

Messi, just want to enjoy life in the USA, the Inter Miami is too small to have such a star, their stadium is an open one without security, they lacks so many facilities to have a player of his kind. But his family priority first.

My question is what if Chelsea don't extend his contract while his contract will expire in the next 3 weeks would he be without a club?
Al-Ittihad could have signed Kante but on additional conditions related to the injury, I honestly remain optimistic that Kante will move to the Saudi League although he would not play since the start of the season because he doesn't have much choice, except for Chelsea to extend his contract.

Some names that potentially to be the next players that will be playing on saudi pro league

Wilfried zaha

Aubameyang

Sanchez

Iago aspas

I hope that their transfers can be completed easily. that will make saudi pro league becomes even bigger thanbefore.

Yes, because young players will certainly settle down playing in Europe because of course, playing in Europe is a high motivation for achievement. So, to move and play in Saudi Arabia at least these players have entered retirement age. Thus, I agree about the amount of salary earned by star players who are willing to play in Saudi Arabia because after all, because they have entered retirement age, in the end these teams will only pay these players maybe only for one or two seasons. Therefore, I think the saudi professional league might be an alternative for them before retiring, because here they can receive high pay before retiring.

Indeed, there was a lot of talk about Kante's arrival at Al-Ittihad and it seems that what Kante has experienced this season could become his stumbling block that made him fail to join Al-Ittihad. The injury problem experienced by Kante is very complex and learning from what Al-Ittihad has done can be an important reference for them because bringing in Kante must be proportional to the salary they will spend later. But I still hope that the injury problem will be resolved soon, however, for the SPL team to be able to get a football star like Kante and not too old is already very good for the development of football in the Middle East.

There are many types of players, some really care about very tight competition in popular leagues so they stay at their current clubs, or they leave but are still in a competitive league environment. The players come here one of the factors is the fantastic money they will get, it will guarantee their future. I would not make a big deal out of this, because apart from being a hobby they are also working and have to earn money in their hobby. Arab clubs are one of the destinations where players can get high salary values, so they will be tempted, especially if they are entering retirement age.

I mean we should agree that these are more money these players can make for the rest of their careers combined than just a single year. So for example in Kantes case, he could play 10 more years, and he would not make 100 million total, that's just not going to happen, and instead he is making more money in a single year than he could make anywhere else.

As I have stated before, Saudis could be rich but they are not rich enough to keep this going, for example if they did this for all 11, that would be 1.1 billion a year, we all know they won't do that, so they will pay less, and even at 50 million a year, that's 550 million a year, they won't even do that. Which means that they will get a few token players like these, and a few more smaller names instead of huge names, like iago aspas and so forth, and they will call it a day, won't make them top 10 let alone top 5.

We know that Kante has a pretty bright history of the previous team, before he experienced a decline in the last season.
Of course, if Kante has a bright opportunity for a career in Al Ittihad if the performance returns full, and does not experience injuries so that it makes a fairly high loss for the team.
But what Al Ittihad found today found a pretty good game, and today became the peak leader, of course, with the arrival of Kante will make Ittihad better and maintain his dominance on the Arab land gridiron.

I think that the Arab League will be very fun and very competitive, because there are many world players who compete or join the Arab League team, it seems that the media's attention will be quite shifted.
