Al Nassr seems very serious for next season, and with rival clubs they are also buying players to strengthen the existing squad it has spurred them to bring in players who can also make them even more competitive. What Al Nassr did was emulated by his rival teams, so Al Nassr must also make more moves so he doesn't fail again next season.
Ziyech will be able to serve as a supplier of balls for Ronaldo because of course Al Nassr will continue to make his mega star shine next season, by providing other players who can support their strikers, and if Aubameyang also goes there Talisca will probably play less next season because it's impossible Al Nassr brought in Aubameyang only to be on the bench.

It is interesting to see the movement of Saudi Arabian clubs who are hunting for top players who are now playing in Europe, many names entered after being opened by Cristiano Ronaldo who managed to collaborate with Al Nassr. This is a big move made by the saudi arabia club to make their league more popular than before. We know that just bringing in Cristiano Ronaldo made them get a lot of attention, one of which was the soaring requests for broadcasting rights that came to them. Now if many top European players join the Saudi Arabia club again, I believe they will get more attention.

In as much as I don't know if Hakim Ziyech services will be needed by the new club manager at Chelsea, I know very well that his teammate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge and it'll be a good decision for him to go to the Saudi Arabian League where he'll definitely get juicy financial offer.
Al-Nassr already has Cristiano Ronaldo as their player and adding big forward players like the Chelsea duo will make them a very strong attacking line to be faced by any club in their league

Sometimes there has to be a good example to be able to attract the attention of other European players and luckily Al-Nassr managed to bring in one of the GOATs last winter, namely Cristiano Ronaldo. With this, we can also find out how Ronaldo thinks about the Saudi league during his career and when other players want to find this information, Ronaldo will certainly be the one who gives the green light to other European players to have a career in the Saudi league.

It is undeniable that the charm of the salary offered by several Saudi league teams is indeed fantastic and it will be a mutually beneficial collaboration between clubs and players. Maybe Ronaldo has now increased to Benzema and we don't know which other European players will come, but what is clear is that there will definitely be. I hope the negotiation process with Ziyech and Aubameyang will go smoothly because I think these two players have lost their place in Europe.

Here you go, another player from chelsea agreed to go to the SPL

Chelsea seems used SPL clubs as alternative ways to sell its players. I remember lukaku has been rejecting SPL club's offer as well as modric. Chelsea will sell Aubameyang and Ziyech to Arabian clubs.. Mendy looks like he'll be sold to SPL clubs.
Im thinking if chelsea sees SPL clubs as another easy way to sell its players caused by arabian clubs have been trying to build big projects by buying so many players from european leagues.

I would like to see Luka Modric in the Saudi League, like Benzema and other Real Madrid stars, I don't know very well about Modric, but I think that what he decides is fine with me, and like Messi It is their decision to know what is best for them, as I have said in threads similar to this, I would like to see these good players in the Saudi League and not in the MLS, which I see as a cemetery of the most famous players. in the world, besides that I see that they lose many conditions there and have very poor vision, besides that they are not called up again by their national teams to continue representing their countries.

It has been confirmed as mentioned above that N'Golo Kante has now officially become an Al-Ittihad player with Benzema and this team is one of the strongest candidates in the Saudi Professional League, I don't think Al-Nassr will stay silent by only having just one Ronaldo star some of them are trying to submit bidding proposals to other players maybe what is more interesting is the Premier League players of course with several players brought in to strengthen their attack line and they can do anything because they are never short of money for this SPL team.

Maybe if more star players come the betting market will be even more interesting in the Saudi Professional League and they will also pay a lot of attention after many players have come to this league, of course there will be more to look forward to in the coming season.

Actually, Ziyech is a talented player. unfortunately, he didn't have many opportunities to play either in the era of Tuchel, Potter or Lampard. maybe, if given more opportunities to play. Ziyech can show his skills, like when he did at the 2022 world cup in Qatar. Now Pochettino's arrival has not changed Ziyech's fortunes, he remains not in the club's plans. it should be good news for Hakim Ziyech if Al Nassr is interested in signing him. at least, he can be counted on by Al Nassr to help Ronaldo on the front lines. that way, Al Nassr will be sharper on the front lines.

For Aubameyang, previously he was in demand by Al-Ahli and even Al-Shabab if I am not misreading the rumours.
speaking of Aubameyang, actually this player could have been placed as LW or ST. so, it's not wrong if Al Nassr to bring him. at least, he can be played on the wing as well as Ziyech. well, if in the end Al Nassr brings in these two players. I'm sure Al Nassr will be a very strong team and have great potential to win the league trophy even though other teams have also brought in several stars.

Now after Qatar World cup soccer world is going to be had big change in shape of Saudi Funding which is surely going to hurt many UEFA clubs as they will lose many quality players due to huge investments form Saudi Clubs which are doing their best for having good influence for the 2030 World Cup even for me, they are not going to have chance for this but still this is good change which will bring good soccer intention in this region and many other Gulf countries will also jump into these leagues for their own sack.

After Cristiano Ronaldo we have big name like Karim Benzema and Ngolo Kante and few discussions are under pipeline which can also bring few more big names here in this league which is surely going to be interested with this all now European clubs are surely feeling concerns about this all as they can't afford huge investments like these.

I believe that the Saudi clubs know what they are doing,they want to pump their funds into football and make their league very interesting and have the whole world attention on them. They have started buying more players from different strong clubs to make their league noticeable and competitive.

They have all the money to buy any player that they want but they first started with buying Ronaldo as to make other players have the thought of joining this superstar over their with good offer. I am not surprised at this news because I am still expecting more quality players to go to SPL.

Kante's rumor already confirmed by romano in his latest tweet

You can see here



What we can to wait for official announcement from attihad about kante's signing. Im so happy to see him play together with benzema as both were coming from the same countries. They were enjoying the end of their career with very good salaries.
They have got so many trophies and they were retiring with so many achievements in european competitions. It's the time for kante and benzema work together in ittihad.

Kante's contract until 2025.

Kanté to Al-Ittihad is no longer a rumor but a confirmed deal. Besides Kanté, Al-Ittihad has signed another high-profile player who is widely recognized for his excellence both on and off the field. Al-Nassr failed to get any cup wins this season, and are yet to announce any new signings. While their rivals teams recruit star players, now it's very important that Al-Nassr follow them if they want to keep up with the competition next season. Next season the Arab league will be interesting, and we can't wait to see how the things will unfolds.

Regarding N'Golo Kanté, there seems to be an obstacle related to his health condition so this rumor cannot be confirmed at least for next season
Meanwhile related to Hakim Ziyech seems to be completely realized Chelsea did not hesitate to release Ziyech.
Other news Pierre-Emerick is also included in the negotiation, one of the clubs from the Saudi League is trying to negotiate.

Apart from that, there are rumors that Al-Ittihad will also sign N'Golo Kanté and if that happens then of course, Al-Ittihad also have a good squad because they already have Benzema in their squad as well. Therefore, of course, Al-Nassr will still find it difficult to win the Saudi Professional League title next season, because the rival teams are also making big strides by recruiting star players. But yes, of course with the signing of these players, the Saudi Professional League can be even more interesting to watch because the teams competing in the title race have famous players.

The trend changed in the 1990s and early 2000s if veteran European league players who played in Asian leagues would choose Japan, Australia, then the trend changed to Chinese, Qatar, Indian leagues, now to the Saudi Arabian league, which has a small schedule but high pay.

I think this is just a matter of business so that the Arab League will be known by big names like Ronaldo, Benzema and even later Kante so that the advertisements will increase and Saudi Arabia will promote their league more openly. They pay the salaries of expensive players, that doesn't matter to them because when these star players advertise Saudi Arabia's domestic products, they will also benefit.

Yes, there is a point. Maybe Saudi Arabia wants to realize the 2030 vision with football as a soft diplomacy as well as a campaign for bidding on the 2030 world cup. It's cool, step by step, Saudi Arabia is now cooler.

Al-Nassr is reportedly interested in bringing in two Chelsea players namely Hakim Ziyech and Aubameyang. It seems that Al-Nassr is not quite satisfied after successfully bringing in Ronaldo last season. Al-Nassr really wants a star-studded squad starting next season and they don't hesitate to shell out huge sums of money to give these European players fantastic wages per season. Currently negotiations are underway according to Fabrizio Romano and we are still waiting for clarity on the offer made by Al-Nassr from salary to how many season contracts for the two Chelsea players.

They joined the league when they only have a last few seasons in their career. Players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema are special and outstanding with their discipline in training, diets to keep their career long like now and they are still able to play very well.

There are some young players in Saudi Professional League will learn a lot from these veteran players but I am very doubtful that two or three veteran players from Europe can improve quality of the league when they play there as well as in future. Not all young players can learn from those veteran players and with a few young players who successfully learn something from those veterans, it's not enough to bring Saudi Professional League to a higher level.

Of a truth the European based footballers that's been signed to the Saudi Arabian League are all veteran's who are nearing the end of their playing career.
That been said, that shouldn't make anyone think that the league is largely occupied by players over the ages of 30 years because there are so many young Arabian footballers in the league and other young players from other Asian countries in the league and very soon some young European based young players are gonna be joining the league

The Chinese super league officials or the governing body of sport on the country came up with a policy that discouraged players from going to the league and that's why they flopped from the transfer market. Chinese super league during their years of reign and popularity had more impact than Saudi Arabia league currently. Atleast during the Chinese super league reign they attracted young players as well as old players. I remember Oscar who was playing for Chelsea moving to China at his prime. Other players that had good years left in them move to the league but Saudi Arabia league are only attracting old players that have nothing left to prove.

The Saudis strategy is different because they have alternative motive behind signing this players. Saudi Arabia are not just signing anyhow players but those with influence and that's why they're paying this astonished amount of money. It's no longer a secret that the reason behind this is to get enough support for their world cup bid for 2030. I think they deserve it because it'll help exposed the country to the world so things can be different in those countries. It's too cages in my opinion, I know it's their culture but they should let loose a little so people can have freedom to do things they feel like doing.

Turkey just after they were host to the champions league finals have announced their plans to try again to win a bid to host a major soccer tournament. In the champions league finals, every thing was perfect and well handled, there was no major news about anything that happened to visitors who came to watch the game live. They have shown their hospitality and organisation to be able to manage a finals, they will one day host a major tournament. Saudia Arabia are bringing attention to themselves showing that they can make big soccer players comfortable in their country, before we know it, Saudi Arabia will begin to be the location for some major soccer games and finals.
