I am sure that in the future there will be many star players who will join the Arab League because the offer of the salary they give is very difficult to refuse

CR7 is an opening for star players to play in the Saudi Arabian league, besides that if the Arab league continues to consistently carry out their plans then their target of making the Arab league one of the best leagues in the world will be achieved

Of course the main reason for the rich club owners in the Saudi Pro League is to make the Arab league more famous by bringing in star players. It could be that not only two star players (Messi and Benzema) joined C. Ronaldo in the Arab League but it could even be five or six at once like (Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and even Neymar Jr or Sergio Ramos).

Obviously money is not an obstacle for the owners of big Saudi Arabian clubs to pay them-they are double their current salary in European clubs and that will be Saudi Arabia's efforts to promote and advance the football industry there. which indirectly will also make it easier for Saudi Arabia to become the bidding choice for the 2030 FIFA WORLD CUP Host along with Egypt and Greece.

Karim Benzema's Al Ittihad deal confirmed. The striker left Real Madrid and joined Al Ittihad of the Saudi League. Not only Karim Benzema has joined the Saudi league from Europe, there are also chances of several famous players. Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos are expected to join the Saudi league later on. Since Messi's situation is almost uncertain, but Sergio Ramos is very likely to join the Saudi league. So after Karim Benzema, maybe Sergio Ramos will be far ahead in the direction of the Saudi League.

Regarding the Messi news, there is a lot of news that is confusing. in fact, we cannot confirm its validity. So, I'm only referring to the journalist Fabrizio Romano. he said in his tweet, Jorge Messi had met Barcelona President Laporta. "Leo wants to return to Barcelona and I want to see him return to Barca". "Barca's move was a definite choice" added Jorge Messi.

And the new tweet, Barcelona has not been able to make a formal offer to Messi in the meeting. whereas, both parties feel that time is running out.. but Laporta and Jorge Messi have decided to take a few hours to see if there is a "creative" solution in the meantime, Leo's decision-making process is already continuing.
So, will Messi return to Barcelona, ​​or will he accept an offer from Al Hilal. so, all of this becomes very hot news even very later. if, Messi eventually moved to Al Hilal. that means, the competition for the top clubs of the Saudi Pro League will be even more exciting because there are three stars who are both having careers at top Saudi clubs. let's wait, because this is quite interesting.

Ramos and Messi makes sense, Ramos wasn't even wanted at PSG and Messi left the club, but Messi may end up at Barcelona too, they are trying to find the finances to handle it, if they can do that maybe he goes back to Barcelona, that would make more sense, if not then yeah sure he might leave too. But Modric doesn't seem like it would happen, he is still contracted to Madrid isn't he? He had his extension as far as I can remember, if not then maybe we will discuss but I have never seen that outside of here, first time I am hearing it. Saudi league could try to do all of this as much as they can, but with this much money spending, they would spend a billion dollars to build a team that would be old has beens and not really going to be that much talent. Not saying they would be bad, but even if not now, then in a few years these are going to be 40 year old players, that's not really going to be a good long term plan. If they want to attract these older big names first so they can get 25 year old good players, that's not really going to work, just because Benzema went there at 36, doesn't mean Mbappe will go there at 25, not possible.

Nothing is impossible but it will take some time, maybe two to three decades for the Saudi League to get the desired attention. The political structure of every nation will always affect every aspect of the country including the sports sector. Football will not grow in an authoritarian political space where clubs and the football association will not be given the freedom to make viable policies and implement them without fear of sanctions or intimidation. Saudi Arabia has the money to promote the league to any level but the political, religious, and social conditions of the country will be the biggest barrier. The Chinese league also tried the same approach some years ago but it didn't prosper as expected because of unfavorable conditions.


I might be wrong but it seems the Real Madrid legend Luka Modric wants to end his career in the club. I think he is guided by passion and respect for the club. Even Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that Luka will stay in Bernabeu till next year.

Saudis are doing few good things as they invested in UEFA clubs and now using their influence and sources for having quality in their own league which is surely going to have big impact in near future even still many are feeling conditions and quality is big problem but as they are invested hopefully all will be under control for them with this all their league surely going to have big impact in Asia as well which will encourage many other leagues to pay intention to their leagues for improvement as well.

Ronaldo, Benzema and Budquets are surely big players with many more are in talks and things could be clear in near future which will have good for the league and without any doubt huge funds for these players as well most chances this league could be improved their fanbase and their media rights could be also given them good money as they are invested for these players.

Yes, the Saudis are making smart steps (probably easy, with an infinite amount of money, but still). People love loud signs even without a big sporting background, as we see, for example, in absolutely moronic exhibition fights that have no sporting meaning, but at the same time gather a huge audience.
By the way, I would like to see how the world would react if the Saudis were able to lure the most prime players into their championship - for example, Mbape and Haaland. What would the Champions League and just Europe look like without these monsters?

Messi moving to Saudi Arabia league will make football very interesting meeting  with Ronaldo that is already in the league,  it will just like the  days in Barcelona and Real Madrid when we had this two players. This fight again between this two players again in this their advance  era of  their career will be fun to see.

Messi visit to Saudia is surly having a purpose behind it he has not even taken permission for his club before going to saudia.

on the other hand Saudis have no problem giving away the money
they will be able to give as much as they could to get messi in their team.

Am I the only one who thinks that Saudi will likely one day if not in the nearest future shift big attention to themselves when it comes to football. Don't think it is difficult for them to do. If Messi by any chance joins Ronaldo there, you will not imagine what their viewing time or  watch hour will look like.
There television rights, market, tourism and many more will boost in the Saudi League.  Benzema is almost there, let's wait for the official announcement.

Saudi Arabia are doing well attracting these players to their country to play in their local league, if they continue like this, in a few years from now, their local league will become important and watched by people in other continents.

First Cristiano Ronaldo moving to Saudi Arabia to play in their league greatly influenced how people viewed the league and increase the interest people had in the league. If Lionel Messi decides to join him in Saudi Arabia in another rival club it will further increase any interest people had in the league as it will attract the fans of Lionel Messi as it attracted the fans of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Considering that the money he will spend on Messi will be high, I think Ramos is more likely to play with Ronaldo. Messi and Ronaldo can fight again in the best two teams in the Saudi Arabian league. If that happens, I remember the races of Real Madrid and Barcelona in the years. It can be a race that motivates each other. For both of them, next year may be a year of enjoyable matches.

It seems that the goal of the wealthy club owners in the Saudi Pro League to make their league more famous, not better, will become a reality. After successfully bringing in Ronaldo, it has been confirmed that Karim Benzema will go to Al Ittihad and several other players who were also rumored a few months earlier to go to Saudo Pro Liga also seems to be following in Karim Benzema's footsteps, the money they are offering is quite fantastic so for the players it will be very nice to be able to play in a league whose competition schedule is not as busy as in Europe but the pay is bigger because many achievements have been achieved, it's time to start a career with a schedule that is not too tight because of course their energy is not what it used to be.

First off, Benzema is about to hop onto the Ronaldo wagon to Al-Ittihad! I mean, he's seen his injury list, done his math and figured - "Why not take the money and sprint?"! Can you blame him?

Then there's Ramos. He's a free agent, and if I were a betting man, which I am, I'd say he's likely to follow his ex-Real Madrid mates. Busquets, on the other hand, is keeping us all on our toes! The rumours are pointing towards Saudi Arabia, but who knows? We'll just have to wait and see.

Modric, though...I have my doubts. His loyalty to Real Madrid seems to be rock solid. Would he really ditch that for a new adventure? And Messi? All's quiet on that front. Now, wouldn't that be a game-changer if he moves to Al Hilal? Gosh, it's like a football soap opera unfolding before our eyes!

Karim Benzema does not want to keep Real Madrid and it is not certain whether Karim Benzema will follow the instructions shown by Ronaldo. But one thing is very clear that compared to other clubs Saudi Arabia based clubs offer much higher market value. Therefore, even if Karim Benzema is included in any club in Saudi Arabia, it will not be unrealistic.
On the other hand, Lionel Messi's two-year contract with PSG is nearing its end, Messi has already been offered by Barcelona Football Club and SPL club Al Hilal has already made an offer for Messi with a market value of $1.2 billion. Now all decisions rest on Messi whether he will move to Saudi club or join Barcelona it is a matter of time.

Maybe, Sergio Ramos will follow in the footsteps of his two former team-mates when he was with Real Madrid. Ramos is currently a free agent, even before he was rumored to be linked with a club from the Saudi league. now, what was rumored could happen. Well, let's wait, which club is willing to bring him.

Busquets, as reported by ESPN, Sergio Busquets, who has announced his departure from Barcelona. Rumor has it that Busquets may be moving to Saudi Arabia. Even mentioned by ESPN, Buesquets has been interested in the Al Hilal club, one of the giants in this competition, his existence has also been linked with Messi. however, so far there have been no official claims regarding its future. it's possible that according to the original plan leaving for MLS, or following in the footsteps of other players who are also competing in this competition.

Modric, rumors he will stay with Los Blancos. I'm pretty sure that Modric will stay with Real Madrid. because, of all the existing Madrid players. Modric's work ethic and unquestioned loyalty.

Messi, so far there is no certainty regarding his future. now, we just have to wait for the decision for his future. whether it's returning to Camp Nou, or accepting Al Hilal's offer.

Benzema, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano. that Benzema has confirmed he has accepted an offer from Al Ittihad, and that he will bid farewell to Madrid fans next Tuesday.
So, let's wait for another star player who will move to the Saudi Pro League competition.

It seems that Messi will represent the champion of this country next year. Then we are going to have another titanic battle between Messi and Ronaldo. But Ramos is also leaving PSG, I wouldn't be surprised if we see him back in a team from this country next season. But where? With Messi in a team or with Ronaldo? He has played with both for a while now, with Ronaldo longer. It takes some getting used to for Ronaldo that he has not become champion. Why don't they get more of these types of players in these countries?

Football is already the favorite sporting event for Arabs in general not only in Saudi Arabia for the entire Arab region. So you do not need to ignite anything to make it popular.

Saudi started to become liberal recently and hence they are welcoming major events and opening their door to global sporting events. They are not keen on generating money from the public, they already have enough wealth to sign major players irrespective of the profit they earn, that is a major difference from other sporting nations.

I never mentioned the Chinese market, it is one aspect of Asia, there are countries like Korea, Japan, India who have a major fan following in Football and there are over 50 leagues in Asia alone. There is a reason Chinese clubs are not signing European players because they are not willing to shell out the money considering the profit margins but Saudi has the money and they are willing to spend and develop their league and that is the major difference.

They are not trying to replicate el clasico but to have a world renowned player and get mentored by them is a huge deal. With time they will be able to build up a team well enough to compete on a global scale.

PSG is playing Al Nassr next month in a friendly match, why do you think that is happening. They have the ability in their pockets to invite European clubs to view the matches they wanted to see.
