Another big news is coming from manchester city. The club seems interesting to sell mahrez for al ahli. Al ahli's offer was big for city to get him.

Quote

MANCHESTER CITY star Riyad Mahrez has reportedly agreed a stunning £410,000-a-week transfer to Saudi Arabia.
But the winger will not force through a transfer exit after winning the Treble under Pep Guardiola.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22944804/riyad-mahrez-transfer-saudi-arabia-al-ahli-man-city/

The sun has been also publishing it. I read also in another news if mahrez has been personally agreed with PIF for moving to the saudi pro league.
It's mahrez's decision whether he is willing to leave from city or try to stay even longer. Pep is still hoping him to stay but club's decision will be also impacting mahrez's decision. His team mate bernardo silva is also being targeted by saudi club as well.
Silva and mahrez possible leave from city and join in saudi clubs.

But little confused have Saudi Pro League teams want to pay highest salary for goal keeper have been 45 years old, I don't think how impressive perform from Buffon due at the end years of his football professional career although for goals keeper not required more strong phisical.

When Juventus don't want to extend his contract and PSG sign him for free, Juventus already know he can't play in professional league anymore. The reason why the Saudi Pro League want to sign him is for popularity, Buffon might only play for first half or second half, then he could be substituted with other goalkeeper.

I think the Saudi Pro League is really serious to increase their popularity and built their league to be viewed by many people.

I think it is better for buffon to retire and enjoy his old age as you said, the money and fame he has earned in his 28 year career as a professional footballer. Many titles have been won both with the club and the Italian National Team. With the influx of offers tempting him, he is faced with three choices for now. Postponing retirement, continuing to play one more year with Parma or moving to the Saudi Pro League. This offer must be very tempting because the Saudi Arabian Pro League club on average dares to give the player a large salary.

But it seems that this has not made Buffon change his mind to hang up his boots because he has been hit with injuries so often like last season. However, if it is actually realized and successfully recruited to the Arab Pro League, you can be sure that Buffon will get a large salary and become a new icon there and it looks like he will beat all the highest paid goalkeepers at 45 years old.

Gianluigi Buffon have been 45 years right now and almost professional football player have retired on 40 years old, Buffon have been 28 years old career as professional football and agree for retired right now. But excited offering from Saudi Pro League make him want to continue his career in football one or two years later. We know with how much salary offer by Saudi Pro League teams and they will pay most expensive salary than received in European teams.

But little confused have Saudi Pro League teams want to pay highest salary for goal keeper have been 45 years old, I don't think how impressive perform from Buffon due at the end years of his football professional career although for goals keeper not required more strong phisical.

^^^ Currently Sadio Mané is earning €22 million per year from his contract with Bayern Munich. The offer from Al Ahli is surprisingly lower than what he currently receives. As per reports, Mané is being offered a salary of €20 million per year by the Saudis which is around 10% lower than what he is earning right now. But I guess he doesn't have too many option with him right now. Bayern Munich management is not happy with him, as a result of various on-field and off-field incidents and other available options for him are much less lucrative.

I think if Al-ahli manages to bring in Sadio Mane and bring him together with Firminho. Then this will make the club's performance truly extraordinary. We know Firminho and Mane have had a bond since at Liverpool. So when the two meet then it will be a reunion that I think can get Mane back to his best. We know Mane's time at Liverpool was extraordinary. But he went to Bayern it seems he had difficulty adapting there. But if Mane moves to Al-Ahli then I think he will adapt quickly because there is a player he has played with for a long time at Liverpool, namely Firminho. which of course will make Mane comfortable there.

Sadio Mané performed for Bayern Munich last season in a way that Bayern Munich never expected. Bayan Munich management may not want to see Sadio Mané in the team because he could not play with his best as expected. He was offered a salary of only €20 million from the Saudi club, meaning that he is no longer in demand in Europe. A few days ago there was a rumor that Sadio Mané could return to Liverpool but Liverpool might not want him anymore. If Bayern Munich release him, he has no choice but to move to the Saudi League. Because at the moment, no club in Europe may be interested in taking him. Sadio Mané's long spell on the sidelines with injury may have had such a negative impact on his performances.

Buffon is considering retirement, which seems to be the reason why he turned down a move to Saudi Arabia. I also think he made enough money during his career to live his life comfortably. Moreover, he loves Italy and most likely just wants to stay at home, perhaps continue his career as a goalkeeping coach, I think that his experience will be invaluable for the younger generation of goalkeepers in Italy.

If he does end up moving to Al Ahli then he will return to playing alongside with his old friend at Liverpool Roberto Firmino who has been confirmed to be the club's striker next season. The difference in wages isn't that big so it shouldn't be a problem for Sadio Mane because the amount offered he will accept will be the same as that will be accepted by Roberto Firmino.
With Al Ahli who are also quite aggressive in bringing in players from European clubs and also Steven Gerrard who has been confirmed to be the manager at Al Ettifaq, the competition to become champions in the Saudi Pro League will no longer be dominated by three clubs, Al Hilal, Al Nassr and Ittihad FC, because other clubs have bought players, of course they also expect changes so that they can become a more competitive club and become strong contenders for the title.

Firmino being here is not a shocker, he is famous enough and he is talented enough and he was offered way more than what he would have been offered anywhere else. That's the transfer strategy Saudi league has, offer not even remotely close, if someone is getting 10 million, offer them 100 million. When you do it like that, it is very possible to get a lot of famous and talented players.

However, I still think that it is not sustainable, it is not going to work. What they are doing right now can't work, it is impossible for it to work, they can't keep up paying this much to players all the time. They should pray to god that they will get more famous and start convincing players for a lot cheaper in the future otherwise it is going to be a trouble.

This is the most awesome news this week. Buffon have earned enough money in his career, so he wouldnt have to play for that reason anymore, but just for fun. There been offered 30 million a year, insane. That would bring a world champion into the league and a lot of fans. The jersey sales of Buffon should be very very good, even I am thinking about buying one. In Italy, the league in Saudi Arabia is not such a big deal, but whith Buffon it is getting bigger.

Has anyone heard about the offer being made to Gianluigi Buffon? He is 45-year old and currently represents one Serie B club in Italy. The offer from Saudi Professional League is reportedly worth £25 million. Buffon is currently playing his 28th season in senior club football. There is no conformation from the player, and he is reportedly analyzing his options. However, I believe that this is as good as it gets for someone like Buffon. Saudis are offering a good opportunity for him to secure his retirement package.

wow, this is crazy af! Cheesy

The guy is invulnerable and immortal as it seems...

The amount is still tempting but I wonder whether Buffon is at a point where he says it is enough for now.

At the same time this shows that the SPL wants charismatic players or players with a huge following and they don't care about money at all. Signing a 45 year old is not because he is better than all other 25 years old players It is because they know he is popular among fans and that would improve the reputation of the SPL further.

Yeah is a little lower than what Bayern Munich paid but I think Munich realized that they paid it too expensive, therefore they could have released it in this transfer market the reason is clear because Sadio Mane's performance is not as expected or low contribution. I don't think it's bad if Al Ahli is willing to pay him €20 million per season he will not get more than that anywhere other than in Bayern Munich, after all it was the average salary of European players who came to the Saudi League, of course he can't be compared to Ronaldo or Messi which is paid up to 60 million per season.

I suspect Sadio Mane will agree with Al Ahli offer but the obstacles are on Bayern Munich side the rumors is they are willing to release Sadio Mane with €40 million although Munich only paid €32-35 million when brought him from Liverpool, it seems that Munich wants to get at least 1/4 of what they have paid for Mane salary Cheesy

Newcastle has not been giving update regarding interest for mane. The problem is now mane needs to determine his future as soon as possible. I think thay Lfc can change its mind for mane. Mane has been contributing a lot for the club in the past.Football was dynamic. We can only wait what decision will be taken by mane.
mane shall leave from bayern asap before transfer season gonna close.
im feeling doubt with his future in club after it has been coached by tuchel.

Mane had one troubling season with Bayern Munich but he still has enough time to shine in Europe. He must decide that will he want to continue playing in Europe 2 or 3 more seasons with target to win one more Champions League or he just need to get money. If money is his priority, he can move to Saudi Professional League now. I know Mane has a very kind heart and did a lot of charity in his nation.

With good salary from Saudi, he can do more charity activities for kids in Senegal.

Currently, Sadio Mané is 31 years old with now just leaving his club Bayern Munich with no official offer is coming for him but right now new promoted Saudi Club Al-Ahli is trying their best for having Liverpool dream duo into their club as they already have Robert Firmino and now looking for the Sadio Mané even nothing is clear about his future, but things are looking positive as he can join here because recently he has great decrease in his performance and value in European clubs which is surely not good sign for him.

Now things are changing drastically in soccer world and many newly youths are taking places of star players Sadio Mané still can do good for any club in any league but right now as situation is not favorable he needs to join Saudi League for the change.

This is a very important factor and a lot of people ignore it. Thank you so much for mentioning it. I remember the outcry from several players a few years ago, when the government of François Hollande imposed an income tax of 75% in France. A number of players threatened to move out of the country back then. Saudi Arabia doesn't have income tax for citizens, but non-Saudi resident individuals are taxed at a flat rate of 20% (please correct me in case I am wrong). But even if it is 20%, the rate is much lower than what they have in the European Union.

Excellent mate.

I knew about tax-free policy in Saudi Professional League but I did not know about the site from which you took the screenshot. I learned one new thing and the site is shortly bookmarked on my browser and added into my own sheet. I will need it for future whenever I need to share information about tax policies worldwide.

France and Spain charge very high income tax and football players don't like to play there if they don't receive too high salary.

Saudi Arabia clubs will tend to offer bids for Sadio Mané, I hope he accepts it because the Liverpool I know would never think of signing him back. Bayern Munich has seen not much use of Mané at the Allianz Arena, and it appears that the former Liverpool player will work out a deal with another team. They usually make things right by bringing in players who fit the club's game style. Sadio Mané's severe injuries and confrontational interactions with his colleagues indicate a resistant attitude; although the board dealt with him, they only wish to put him to the market; Mané must begin a new chapter. Sadio Manè was a significant project for Liverpool before things changed and they lost the Senegal international.

Offers from Saudi for European star players are always better than offers from European clubs. We have to look at not only salary they offer but remember in Europe, players will have to pay personal income tax which they will not be charged in Saudi Arabia.

Mane has been linked to the liverpool again before this news was coming. No update regarding it. I don't even think with his age now he will be moving to the SPL. SPL is the best place for a professional player to retire but not for seeking more experience. Mane is still getting a lot of interests from various clubs. He will able move to the serie a or la liga if he wants. I do agree with you if it's impossible to hear him gonna accept such offer.
Al ahli already secured firmino from liverpool and the club used firmino to lure mane to join in al ahli.

It's quite hard to believe mane will accept it even though im sure that if firmino gonna try to persuade him to join in al ahli. I hope mane will try to give confirmation regarding his future in bayern.
Al ahli's offer seems not to bad at all.

The only european club I am aware that has interest to sign him is Newcastle United. About Liverpool return? Jurgen Klopp really likes Mane but I don't know if he would want him back. I could remember the case of Coutinho when he left for Barcelona and things didn't go well with him. When Klopp was asked if he would like to resign him, he said no that he warned him before he left. Maybe Klopp doesn't like resigning players who left him for another club. Mane is unsettled at Bayern Munich, Al Ahly already has a 3 years lucrative deal for him on the table and there are other Saudi Arabian clubs reported to be interested in his signature.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the driving force behind their meteoric rise in the world of football. The Arab important individuals and businesses had everything planned out; they picked one of the world's greatest players and signed him over, focusing half of the world's attention on the player while simultaneously keeping an eye on the Saudi Arabia league. I believe Saudi Arabia will have a longer span in football; China started it but couldn't finish it; they flopped along the way; now it's Saudi Arabia's turn; they signed heavily from Europe, but whatever happens, Europe will remain the focus of attention when it comes to football.

China sabotage themselves because their football governing bodies made the league unattractive to foreign players but I don't think Saudi Arabia can't ever do that. Firstly they have the money to spend as they want and they aren't just buying players to their league, they're also buying clubs all over Europe and making their presence felt. They also have bidding plans to host world cup tournaments. Their plans isn't just for their league to get popular but also the make their dominance in football in general. Saudi Arabia went after stars first and with them buying a Ronaldo they knew buying others will be a piece of cake.

The only problem they had was when they couldn't secure Messi signature but they'll take that as a motivation to make other deal as attractive as possible that players can't reject and they'll be doing so by all means possible. Players aren't going to be taxed and they'll be receiving a dream salary. It's just a matter of time before what Ronaldo said in his interview that soon Saudis Pro league would be in top 5 league in the world. More star players will be joining the league in the future and it'll be fun to watch them play even more some European games.

Firmino has been rumored already approached by real madrid to be benzema's successor, but it seems like that madrid was losing interest in him. Firmino is gonna be in the same club with mendy.
Firmino has been passing his golden time with liverpool. He was not interesting to play in another european league. It seemed to me if firmino is thinking about how he will able to enjoy his life.
He has been passing the greatest year with liverpool. I really support him at this moment.

I think it's just a rumor that is circulating, there isn't even strong evidence that Firmino is really being targeted by Real Madrid. Indeed Firmino is not too old and he has a good enough physicality and finishing so that when his contract ended with Liverpool he was really linked with a number of big teams from Europe. Be it real madrid or Ac milan but at the same time firmino prefers to leave the European stage and go to saudi arabia.

Yes, he has officially become an Al Ahli player for next season. With the success of getting Firmino, Al Ahli is not necessarily quite satisfied, they are even reported to be targeting Sadio Mane to strengthen their front line. I think if Sadio mane joins Al Ahli then their team depth will be quite strong next season.
