Steven Gerrard joined the club in Saudi Arabia like every one else these days and signed a contract with Ettifaq. Things will not be easy for him there.
Another news related to the league is Cuadrado being rejected by Cristiano Ronaldo which refused to see him playing with Al Nassr. They played together in Juventus and I assume they didn't get along with each other? Otherwise why refuse him with them..

That's a weird move by Ronaldo, but that is his character. Treating people like shit who are below them. He should try to mess with Messi, but he would shy away from doing that as Messi is superior.

Gerrard's life shouldn't be that hard in the SPL or why do you think it won't be easy? I think taking a job in Saudi Arabia in the soccer world is the most relayed job there is. Earning more money than you can spent in your life and knowing that it will only be for two or three years, it doesn't sound bad to me.

Ronaldo seems to be more than a player for Al Nasr and we all know it, he even teaches the players how to play on the field, and if you watched the games you know he is leading Al Nasr more than a normal player for this team.
There is also some news that they were asking Ronaldo about their coach and the player they have to hire.
Maybe this time Cuadrado, he didn't have good behavior because of something that happened between these two players in Juventus when they are teammates.

That's why they pay high prices for their players, of course they want to attract the world's attention, no one wants to spend millions of dollars every week without a goal. If we talk about income I don't think it's worth what Al Nassr spent but in fact they still continue the contract meaning their target is still running so far, we know this mission is for the long period but I'm sure that after the target is reached the European players will leave by themselves, it's only a matter of time.

Of course, by spending a lot of money to take great players from Europe because there is a big goal that is more valuable than those millions of money.
We don't know what the real goals of some Saudi clubs are, but I admit that they always try hard to be able to prove that Saudi football is also good and strong enough like European football.
Several European players who are currently in Saudi Arabia will one day leave on their own but their departure will only be moving to other Saudi clubs and the player trade between Saudi clubs can run well.

One of the goals of the Saudi league in bringing in these European star players is to support their economy through tourism because Saudi Arabia is well aware that they cannot continue to rely on oil as a country's major income. Therefore they are making large investments by signing star players to enliven the league and of course they will get more sponsors because of the results of this investment.

On the other hand, it is possible for each of these star players to move to a club in the Saudi league so that they really look competitive enough to popularize this league. Moreover, I am very sure there will be so many gamblers who will start betting on Saudi league matches considering that not only Al-Nassr has Cristiano Ronaldo but other teams have also got star players and that can be a mature calculation in making predictions in every game.

@Shogun27 no doubt Gerard will find it a bit hard in a new environment just like everyone else. the move was a good one, he will develop his coaching skills in a league that's not as competitive as England premierleague, where you're expected to win every games. The Saudi Arabia league is growing well and with time it will be competitive without the kind of players that's coming in the league.

you got it all wrong, Ronaldo is not the president of the Saudi Arabia Pro league, that will stop some certain players from gaining access in the league. the News you got about cuardrado being rejected by Ronaldo is just a media war against the GOAT. Ronaldo and Cuardrado never had any issues in Juventus. Cuargrado was only joking that Ronaldo has not ask him to come yet. stop spreading fake news.

Will we see a coach derby between Gerrard and Lampard in Saudi Professional League?

They both are not excellent coaches and got some failures in their coach career so far. From stories of Lampard and Gerrard, we can see big differences between player and coach careers. They both are very smart and had legendary player careers but as coaches, they were not able to have good management and results for their clubs.

It's actually a little different because Steven Gerrard failed in the English premier league, but when he was in the Scottish league, Gerrard was quite successful and brought Ranger to the Scottish League championship and finished runners up in the League Cup. Indeed, that was not the big league, and that was also the reason why many regretted him to moving to Aston Villa because he is considered not ready for a bigger job, while Lampard can be said to have failed at all clubs, will Gerrard be successful? maybe, but will Lampard also go to the Arab league? I haven't read any news about it.

After Marcelo Brozovic Al Nassr doesn't have new players anymore? wonder why they are not active in the market Huh

Maybe they realize that they have spent too much money so of course it's not good for the club's finances even though they are known as a rich club but of course a business will expect a commensurate return, or they will start moving mid-season to see the development of their team whether they really need additional players.

I do not denigrate Saudi Pro League but if we talk football club then the end point is profit we know so far a club like Al Nassr has not made a profit while spending will continue, can we imagine how long this situation will last, 2-3 more seasons? maybe we can see the results in 2 more seasons after that the club owner will carry out an evaluation and make a decision. I personally think their aim is not to be the best League but to promote something in their country, however it will be difficult to compete with the European league.

I saw this coming that Saudi Arabia wants SPL to be as competitive as other leagues and they also want to get all the attention that is needed worldwide. Many European players will be moving into Saudi since Gerrard is now a coach in Saudi. As for the local players they need to seat up and challenge themselves by improving in their performance for them to be able to fit in a with this superstars coming from various leagues. I see this as a big improvement in SPL,I still look forward in the next three years to see Saudi Arabia clubs buying almost all the best players because they have what it takes to be successful with this plan.

@BitcoinHunt3r with many superstars coming here it’s only a matter of time before they earn more from advertisements, broadcasting etc hence their investment is justified. @Sim_card the local player’s will definitely improve over a period of time but in the short run they’ll struggle to keep up and lastly who knows they may even be bought by the European club’s as they’ll already have the experience of playing against big superstars.

As has been reported on Twitter by Sacha Tavolieri, Al-Ettifaq are contemplating making a bid for the Belgian striker who Milan are very keen to sell this summer.

Origi joined Milan last summer on a free transfer from Liverpool and there were hopes that he would rival Olivier Giroud for the main striker role throughout the campaign.

https://sempremilan.com/report-milan-forward-steven-gerrard-saudi-arabian

Divock is not having a chance to play in the regular club. He is rarely getting regular time to play.

When Milan bought him from Liverpool they hopes Origi can be compete with Giroud for forward places but apparently Origi cannot able to impress Pioli and he always be spend his time from the bench and 2 goals from 36 matches is not impressive records so that's why Milan are going to sell him this summer because they want to gets new players for forward position and recently the offers comes from the several clubs such as West Ham and Arabian clubs and it say Milan is very excited to listen the offers from those clubs and if they can provide a good offer then Milan will immediately sell Origi to the team who want him but the situation seems looks quite complicated because Origi himself doesn't want to leave Milan because after spend poor season with this team Origi still wants to staying and he want to prove himself that he still deserves to play with Milan

Most chances he will not go to Saudi League because right now he feels good about himself and want to play in Europe instead of going to in any other league even situation is looking not good with his agent is talking with few clubs but until now we have no positive sign for him to be joined in any club and as he already joked Cristiano Ronald don't want him into Saudi League it's another problem for him.

His career is also not good but mostly feeling he is average player which and have chance into any competitive league but if he fails to have anything from here then most chances he will go to MLS which is also good for the player like Juan Cuadrado, or he has to fly back to his country where he can join any club as well.

It would be very surprising if he lands a deal with some of the rivals of Al Nassr in the Saudi Professional League, such as Al Hilal or Al Ahli. And will be even more interesting if Cristiano Ronaldo comes face to face with Juan Cuadrado in any of the SPL matches. But the chances are that he will stay in Europe. SPL clubs are not ready to pay huge sums for Cuadrado, and without a hefty package he doesn't want to book a ticket to Riyadh. But the issue is that European clubs also don't have much interest in him. Juventus kicked him out last month.

Today is the 1st week for Gerrard as coach of Saudi Arabian Club Al-Ettifaq, Steven Gerrard has started targeting players to fill his squad. The first Gerrard target is Henderson. The player who currently still has 2 seasons remaining on his contract with Liverpool, so far there is still no news on how much the transfer fee will be proposed by Gerrard, but if this is successful, the Arab League will increasingly be filled with players from the top European leagues, after previously Kante who had joined with Al-Ittihad. Ronaldo makes Arab as the new home for old players from Europe Grin

The arrival of Steven Gerrard has made the Saudi Arabian league even more popular, especially if Steven Gerrard can successfully bring in Henderson, of course the Arab League will be filled with top European players. I believe the Arab League has a special goal of bringing in top European players with big salaries.

It is good that these players are moving to the Saudi professional league but many other players in the league already, talking about the local players in the league will not be completely happy because they will have less opportunity to play and lesser attention on them, they will have little opportunity to be scouted by another club for a possible move to another league because of little playing time as the new players that these clubs are bringing from other leagues will get the most attention and will be giving more opportunity to play since they were gotten for a big price.

I saw this coming that Saudi Arabia wants SPL to be as competitive as other leagues and they also want to get all the attention that is needed worldwide. Many European players will be moving into Saudi since Gerrard is now a coach in Saudi.

Gerrard was always having hard days in EPL. He never had great achievement in EPL. Gerrard can at least break all of bad opinions toward him by changing ettifaq to be a better club under him. Gerrard has been determining the first target to be bought by ettifaq after he has been officially joined in ettifaq as a new coach.

It has been reported by sempre milan if divock origi becomes the first target by gerard.

Cuadrado is presently a free agent and has been offered to Lazio multiple times, but they have consistently declined his offer. Cristiano Ronaldo is the primary player of Al-Nassr, and he has more equal rights than the coach and more senior players in the club before him. Cuadrado and Ronaldo do not have that link as former teammates; they presumably had troubles in the past at Allianz Stadium in Italy, but the outcomes of their fights were kept discrete, but it appears that they will be made public very soon. Al-Nassr is keen on bringing the Colombian here, but will only do so if Ronaldo gives the board the go-ahead; despite the fact that he is not greater than the club, anything can happen in the transfer market.

Juan Cuadrado signed a deal with Chelsea in 2015 (for a huge amount of £23.3 million), but as a result of his disappointing performance they loaned him out to Juventus in the same year. He managed to get a contract from Juventus two years later and that lasted till early this year. Now he is not contracted to any of the clubs and is being trated as a free agent. Anyway, if Ronaldo doesn't want him in Al Nassr, then the club management is not going to hire him. And I don't think that any other club within Saudi Professional League will be interested either.

Most chances he will not go to Saudi League because right now he feels good about himself and want to play in Europe instead of going to in any other league even situation is looking not good with his agent is talking with few clubs but until now we have no positive sign for him to be joined in any club and as he already joked Cristiano Ronald don't want him into Saudi League it's another problem for him.

It seems like that there was a personal problem between ronaldo and cuadrado in the past. that's why ronaldo dislike him. I think that it's quite better for al anssr to find replacement for cuadrado. It will be far better rather than bringing conflict into the club that will be destroying the chemistry. I do support ronaldo to avoid it. He is making good decision by telling its club not to sign him as a new player.

But did you know that by doing that Ronaldo acts like a club owner and his friends probably didn't like what he was doing I mean it can trigger jealousy , if indeed Ronaldo has information about Cuadrado should not be known by the public he can meet the club owner in person that way is certainly safer and more comfortable. After Marcelo Brozovic Al Nassr doesn't have new players anymore? wonder why they are not active in the market Huh

I am one who believes that Mane will eventually move to the Saudi Pro League maybe not this season but maybe next season, it would be better if the club from here get Mane for free, right? so they can use the transfer budget to pay higher salaries. On the other hand, as we know Mane is very suitable to play in the Saudi League he understands the structure and the situation. By the way don't expect the market value of old players to increase, it will not happen bro, just look at Ronaldo whose market price is only 15 million even though he once occupied the position of the most expensive player, obviously age is the standard for determining market value.

After having poor season with Bayern Munich right now his career is having bad time because Bayern Munich is targeting Harry Kane in case of complete deal they will offload Sadio Mané even right now we have few suitable deals for him in top clubs of Europe which can bring his career back on track as well but for this he has to change his behaviour as well which is creating problems for him in last few years.

With few Saudi League clubs are also trying to have contract with him specially Al-Ahli which is newly promoted and already signed Firmino as they want to reunite him with Sadio Mané but currently nothing is predictable because his main focus is European club with Champions League spot is still his focus.

Once they're popular, these players have their involvement in each and everything. Cuadrado also said there are options and we'll analyse about it and go with the best. Ronaldo and Cuadrado have played three seasons together.

The Saudi Arabia Pro League have opened doors for the soccer players all around the world. More switching were taking place from the European Leagues as the contract comes to an end. Popular players increase will surely have big expectation on the upcoming season.

Cuadrado is old already and it will be more easily for him if he moves to Saudi Professional League which has less competitiveness than big leagues in Europe. He is still useful like he shown in Juventus and will be useful for clubs in Saudi Arabia. One thing I really like about Cuadrado is his professionality which has been proven through his career. At all clubs he has played so far, he is very professional, no drama from Cuadrado.
