Silva still confuses about it. It's dilemma caused by he wants stay in city for another season while at the same time al hilal came and give him very big offer. It has been reported that if al hilal has been sending him an offer to pay him three times more compared with what he has been received in the manchester city. It's very dilemma for him and pep. The fact that if pep is now wanna losing another important player.
Pep has been losing gundogan and silva may potentially leave from the club too. I remind you that if mahrez already made personal agreement with saudi club.
Silva may also follow mahrez to leave from manchester city even though the club was offering very good future for their careers but they will never find a club that will be paying all of them multiple times compared their current salary.

It will be very lucky if Al Hilal can get services of Bernando Silva, he is not too old and plays very perfect for Manchester City. According to the rumors I heard he will consider the offer from Al Hilal, because reportedly he will get 3 times the salary if he joins Al Hilal. But I'm not too sure he can play in the Saudi League, because Manchester City still needs Silva services anyway, and his contract aslo is still long at City.

Bernado Silva helps Manchester City more flexible with their tactics and he is an important piece in their squad. At his age Bernado will not want to lose his role in Portugal team by moving to Saudi Professional League. If he leaves out of Manchester City, he will choose another big club in Europe and likely not in Premier League. He does not have reason to explore Premier League with another club so if he leaves, he will move to another league in Europe.

I guess they know their offers are very good and they don't want to compete with each other and lift their offers higher and higher unnecessarily. They can buy other players and together, they do it to make Saudi Professional League more attractive with fans in Europe. Like if Al Ahli send $100M offer for Bernado, will Al Hilal send an $120M offer, I guess they will not mad like this.

We have heard this news for a week but to this day there is no clarity so I assume Manchester City will not release Silva in this transfer market, Al Hilal who keeps trying to approach by offering a high salary seems to have to distract because control is in Pep and Manchester City. Pep tries to hold the player who has brought Man City to win Treble winner last season so the opportunity for Bernardo Silva to move to the Saudi Pro League is very low.

By the way, I was a little surprised why the club in this league didn't want to hunt for the same player? Say Al Ahli hunting Sadio Mane then why Al Hilal not try to get it too? If you pay attention to each club only focus on the targeted players, you will not see the struggle as happened in the Premier League when Newcastle and Tottenham scramble to bring in James Maddison, things like this don't happen in the Saudi League.

In early round, we have only 2 or 3 Saudi Clubs those were looking for the European players but now suddenly in second round we have around 6 to 7 clubs which are offering many players for this season which is surely interesting because Roberto Fermino was offered by Real Madrid, but he accepts Al-Ahli offer and now having his contract as well with few more top players are in talks which is surely going to be good for this league which is trying to mark their name.

Few good coaches are also already part of this league with as things are going we can expect good improvement for the next season and surely with this all quality and environment will be also completely at the different level which is good even it's never been easy for the leagues to maintain their quality but if they are able to keep then surely this will bring good challenge for the European clubs in near future.

The latest news that I follow says that the manager from Sadio Mane has denied rumors of Mane going to the SPL, and so far they have not received any offers from Al-Ahli. And about Bernardo Silva I'm not sure he will accept an offer from Al-Hilal even though their offer is quite tempting, namely 3 times the salary than when he was at Manchester City, this player still has the potential to play in the major leagues with his current age.

There's no concrete news regarding the development from those players. Silva and mane have got offers from saudi clubs but the problem is both of players have been also receiving bunch of offers from european clubs.
I think silva and mane gonna reject saudi's offers. Bernardo silva may stay or leave to another european club while sadio many will still stay at bayern munchen.
I personally hoped that those great players gonna go to the saudi pro league even though the chance was small. Bernardo silva and sadio mane are hardest target to be bought by saudi clubs even if saudi clubs were offering insane salary for all of them.
Maybe mane and silva gonna reject it later on.

Al-Ahli fans must be dreaming when they get to meet one of the football stars like Roberto Firmino and make good use of this opportunity by taking selfies with their idol or recording them in person. But I see in the video why there is no security or bodyguards to protect the players and it seems that they are allowing the fans to do something that close?

Despite all that, I hope Firmino is comfortable enough in the saudi league although fan intervention there is still quite a risk for star players joining the team. Maybe the Saudi league should be able to pay more attention to this, especially for teams that bring star players to their clubs.

I also think that Bernado Silva is still better than Sadio Mane and Bernado Silva's greatness was able to take part in bringing Manchester City to the Treble Winner by contributing several goals and assists.
Bernado Silva still has a contract until 2025 and in the remaining 2 years of this contract Manchester City should be able to take advantage of it to continue to have a sharp attack line because it is filled with great players, one of which is Bernado Silva.

But I don't know what options the management of Manchester City had in mind to want to let Bernado Silva go but that was not the right choice and might have been detrimental to Manchester City.

I know that the financial package that comes with the Saudi Arabian clubs bids for European players are always too tempting to resist. They're doing all these things not because the players in question are gonna bring glories that'll match amount of money put in place to sign them to these respective but to further popularise their league to the world footballing scene.
So I don't think think it'll be a nice idea for either of Sadio Mane and Bernardo Silva to leave Europe at this time of their career. Silva especially is at best of his career and should play spend a few more years in Europe before considering to leave.

Any speculation from Saudi Arabia take it seriously, be it fake source or none source, the Saudi Arabia offers are tempting, its hard for player to turn it down, not now that the league has gain international recognition. couple with the fact that the player in question is a Muslim man. he might consider. he has won every big trophy in Europe. so if Mane consider the Saudi Arabia offer, is a good decision.

Bernado Silva's situation looks better than Sadio Mane, from Silva's age he is still younger than Mane and Silva's success in bringing Manchester City to a treble winner gives him a bigger chance to continue playing in Europe than Mane, but the news circulating is not certain that Bayern Munich will release this striker because Mane has the ability to bring his Bayern Munich club to achievements next season.
How big an offer did Al Hilal make for Bernardo Silva, he should still choose a club from Europe, because he is still 28 years old, he can still make him achieve many prestigious achievements in Europe, especially big clubs have also shown their intention to get his services, it's just quite strange why City want to let go of this player, because he was one of the keys to City's success in winning the title.

Anything about mane is still remain unclear. He has been saying himself probably to stay at bayern while the latest news said that mane is likely to go to the manchester united which is impossible thing to happen as MU doesn't have lot of budget to buy the new player.
I retain myself from speculating him caused by there was no reliable source that has been telling the truth. Most of news were only speculation without a proper data to support it.
It's likely mane will be staying in bayern till next season. There's no need to determine his future since mane is still remain uncertain with his own future.

Two other forwards and new players who are going to join the Saudi Arabia league teams are Bernardo Silva and Sadio Mane, both players got offers from Saudi teams Sadio Mane is a player who had good performances in Bayern Munich except for some matches in the last weeks and now he got an offer from Al Ahli, also Bernardo Silva is another forward he got an offer from Ah Hilal while Bernardo in on the situation he can choose other Europian teams because he had performed well in Manchester City and even won the champions league with this team.

He is not so strong he was 10 years ago, that is for sure. But his skills would be enough in this league and what is even better, he will bring more fans to the games of his club, with his success and his name. That is what they want to achieve this year: more fans and more public relation for the league and the development in the next 3-5 years. They dont do that with advertising on tv or by organizing a world championship, you do it with the best players in the world who have had great success in the past. I think this is a clever marketing strategy and at the same time the quality of football in the country will be better.

This a great money-making opportunity for Italian legend and the second division club Parma. I am sure Parma will be glad to let him leave because he still has a year contract remaining which will make the club to be part of the £25m a year windfall. I don't know why the Saudi League wants him because he doesn't have the influence he once had and he is now old and injury prone. Maybe they want to use his past achievement as a strategy to gain attention because the Saudi League is adopting the name 'The League of Legends'.

Gianluigi Buffon now has three options, one is to remain in Parma and become the highest-capped Italian goalkeeper, retire from football as a legend, or move to the Saudi league thereby making more money.

I never expected Sadio Mane's career to turn out this way. He was at his best in Liverpool and won so many trophies including the Champions League. Disappointed by the ill-treatment he received from the Liverpool management, he moves to Bayern Munich.

I expected his career to flourish but injury and two locker room disagreements which include him punching his teammate affected his performance. But he managed to score 12 goals and also provided six assists in 38 games. His move will depend on the plans Thomas Tuchel has for him next season. If he is needed in Bayern, he can decide to stay and make more impact in Europe. If not, it will be better for him to move to Saudi Arabia and make money. He will even enjoy Saudi society because he is a Muslim.

I guess when you’re no longer as relevant as you used to be and perhaps the competition is starting  to get to you as more younger players who are also more fit comes into the scene. It would be a good idea to play in a less competitive league. Obviously, the money is a really good motivation to move over to the Saudi league where there is less competition as in the premier league.
I think in the coming years, the Saudi league would see more influx of European players who would either want to play in a less competitive environment or/ is drawn in by money.
Good luck for Firmino as he furthers his career over at Al Ahli. Although I would miss seeing him in a Liverpool jersey.

Al-ahli will have to pay a higher price if he wants Bayern to let go of Sadio Mane. But actually there is a reason behind why Al-Ahli made an offer that was not too high for Bayern to get Sadio Mane. One of them is that Sadio Mane often has problems at Bayern. and actually Bayern and Sadio Mane's side don't seem too good lately. There is a lot of news about some of the problems that have arisen at Bayern regarding Sadio Mane. these problems remind me of when CR7 also had problems at Man United. Nah Al-Ahli reckons that Bayern might let him go with this offer. But I personally doubt that Bayern will let go at the price offered by Al-Ahli. But if Al-Ahli raises the bid even higher then I'm pretty sure Bayern will let him go happily.

Yes of course it's all about money, maybe when they feel tired of the competition and heavy pressure in Europe. Then, they prefer to play in the Saudi Professional League because of course, besides not getting high pressure, at least they also get a lot of money playing in the Saudi Professional League club. Also, there is also one rumor that says about Al-Ahli's desire to reunite Firmino with Mane. Of course, it is a big project if Al-Ahli can really realize it, but I'm sure it won't be easy to bring Mane from Bayern Munich.
