Pioli is an experienced coach, his presence in the team is expected to bring a new change and certainly that change is a good one to look at. There will be a glimmer of hope when a presumably experienced coach joins a team, though we also can’t fully say they’ll actually deliver anything good. Challenges will always be there for any coach who joins a new team, especially in a different style of league play than he or she is used to. Whether or not we have to say that the Saudi Pro League is different from Serie A.

Sometimes luck will also always be expected to come, because not just once or twice we see many coaches fail in their first season, even ending in sacking. However when management tried to give coaches longer opportunities, in their second season they would show something even better. I wouldn’t expect much from the new coach, however at least they can show good development under their direction.

Here we can say money is working as all players are not had enough courage for going to play for the spirit of game and having things well challengeable for them in early days of their career with having first Gabri Veiga and now Moussa Diaby mean money is working and Saudi League organizers are able to attract skilled and new talented generation of Europe which is love to play in these difficult conditions for the sack of money.

With this is good transfer for the Al Ittihad as now they are heading for good season with having new Italian legendary coach Pioli and now this transfer mean things are favourable for them to have challenge for the top teams in this league for the next season this is second big lost for the Aston Villa which is also going to compete in Champions League for the next season and things are looking not ideal.

currently Al Nasr's goalkeeper is only filled with local players from Saudi Arabia. So, after it was rumored that Al Nasr would recruit Wojciech Szczesny from Juventus, it seems that Al Nasr failed to bring him in. That's why Al Nasr switched to targeting Ederson.
So if Ederson manages to be brought in by Al Nasr, it will definitely be very good. The reason is that currently Al Nasr does not have a main goalkeeper, because David Ospina as Al Nasr's main goalkeeper has now left. However, if you look at the contract that Ederson has with Manchester City, I have a little doubt that Ederson can be brought in by Al Nasr. The reason is, Al Nasr will certainly have to spend more money to redeem Ederson's contract at Manchester City. So it makes sense for Al Nasr to postpone its intention to bring in Ederson for next season. However, it is also possible that Ederson will actually join Al Nase in the transfer market this season. Because from several media that I read, Ederson is said to want to look for a new challenge.

Apart from that, Ederson is currently suffering from an injury so he will also have to miss playing for Brazil in the Copa America. Until now there has been no definite news regarding when Ederson will be able to return to playing. I thought the injury was not too serious, but after I investigated it turned out that Ederson had an injury around his eye. So with the injury he is currently experiencing, Ederson will definitely be thinking about his old age. For this reason, Ederson will definitely think a lot about the offer from Al Nasr. Because it cannot be denied that Al Nasr's offer has a very large nominal value.

Although Saint-Maximin chose Saudi Arabia at a young age, he is still in his prime and I can say that he definitely regrets going to the Saudi League. European Clubs don't look favorably on footballers who go to the Saudi League. Because they think that the players who go there are mentally retired. They are not wrong. Saint-Maximin surprised everyone by going to Saudi Arabia at a time when he had everything to prove.

If Saint-Maximin wants to get back to his old days and attract the attention of the European leagues, a transfer to Fenerbahce is the right address for him. Saint-Maximin will have the opportunity to work with Mourinho and his star could shine even brighter than before.

Could something like this happen? I mean last season there was Gabri Veiga who chose to join Al-Ahli at a young age and now it's Moussa Diaby's turn to join Al-Ittihad. Even though Moussa Diaby played very well at Aston Villa and has only spent one season, no one knows the player's choice and a personal agreement has actually been reached.

But everything is still not finished considering that Aston Villa has not given the green light for Moussa Diaby's move to the Saudi pro league and I think it will not be easy as long as Aston Villa protects its players. On the other hand, it would certainly be quite profitable if Aston Villa agreed to this transfer because Al-Ittihad would pay 60 million euros. So, will Al-Ittihad manage to secure this dangerous winger before the summer ends?

He still has good performance if he moves to the Saudi League it would be a waste of his talent, I think he still has up to 3 seasons before deciding to end his career in the SPL he must make the best use of his time so as not to regret it later, big salary It's very tempting, but the future of football is everything and every player must have thoughts like that.

If he no longer feels at home in Spain he can move to another league such as Serie A. Reportedly AC Milan is interested in him so I highly recommend that he still play in the Europa League for now after the Euro ends.

Without good squad depth in every line, a manager of Pioli caliber will also find it difficult to lead a team to success. Last season Al Ittihad experienced very significant ups and downs in performance. Benzema and Kante couldn't do much, they seemed to have failed to adapt in their first season, Al Ittihad was quite far behind leaders Al Hilal. This transfer window must be utilized well, Al Ittihad must move actively if they have the ambition to challenge for the championship next season. The competition for the trophy next season is getting fiercer, Al Hilal will remain the leading team on the list of favorites to win.

If I'm not mistaken, there is bad news regarding Pioli, the agreement between Al Ittihad and Pioli was reportedly canceled due to the intervention of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Sports and the resignation of President Al Ittihad from his position. However, I don't think Pioli will be without a job, as an experienced coach, Pioli will definitely receive many offers from other clubs. But for Al Ittihad, they must continue to look for the right manager next season, who can bring out the full potential of their star players.

Alvaro Morata to AC Milan? Smart move. Though he's always been a great player, he hasnt always been in the appropriate spot. Milan? Thats a place to shine. A winning team with a rich legacy who is rising once again Zlatan being involved is quite significant. He is a legend, a champion, and he understands how to thrive at Milan. He notices something in Morata; I have faith in Zlatan.

This could be the perfect match. Morata has a fresh beginning and an opportunity to be a mega star. Milan picks a proven goalscorer - someone who can really change big game outcomes. And the fans? They get a player they can love.

It is very reasonable if Morata rejected the offer made by Al Qadsiah. Morata still can play well in European leagues, he doesn't need to more to SPL. Moreover, it seems difficult to win SPL trophy if he joins Al Qadsiah. I think Morata may consider the offer it it is made by Al Hilal or Al Nassr. Sure, Morata wants to play with the team which is possible to win a trophy. Morata doesn't want to join a club because of the high salary only.

Well, AC Milan looks a good destination for Morata. He will be the main striker in AC Milan, AC Milan has no strong striker after Giroud left the club. I think Morata is possible to move to AC Milan as long as AC Milan wants to pay the transfer fees. It won't be expensive because Morata market value is only around €16m - €20m.

Saint Maximin was doing well at Newcastle till he left. As an avid viewer of the premier league, I expected him to stay a few more seasons and play at the top level. I don't think he found the league difficult. He already had proven himself that he was someone to stay.

What could have happened is that he might have thought that he wouldn’t sustain too long, and when he received a lucrative deal from Al-Ahli, he took it. At that age, it may not have been the right choice, but I think most of the players are now prioritizing money over a successful footballing career.

Unfortunate part is, when a player leaves Europe, most clubs won't keep tabs on them to bring them back to Europe. This is probably something that has happened to him, and if he ends up in Fenerbahce, he might get some light on European football.

Alvaro Morata future seems very interesting to discuss because recently he give his statement about his feel playing at Atletico Madrid and Morata says he doesn't feel happy to playing at Laliga because every weeks is under pressure for him and after these statements then some of clubs are prepare want to buy him including Saudi Pro League clubs but i think playing at this league could be the last option for Morata because although he is not young anymore but if we see from Morata performance during this season i think he still deserved to playing at Europa

Indeed you says is true that Morata currently still focusing to playing at Euro Cup with Spain and maybe after this tournament ended Morata will be decide whether he will be stayed at Atletico Madrid until his contract ended or Morata will decide to find other clubs this summer and the recent rumours i have heard is besides the clubs from Saudi Pro League AC Milan also very interested want to using his service even Milan is very serious want him and in the near future Milan will buy according to Morata release price clause which only 13 million and let see it later who will be the winner of this race and gets his signature

Pioli could actually be a good coach here, after all we are talking about someone who managed Milan, so he will definitely be good for Ittihad. But that still doesn't mean that they have a better club, they are looking for some players, namely KDB for example, and some others. If they manage to build a good squad than with Pioli they could win, but if they do not get better players, then we are going to end up with something much worse.

This is why I think we should remember that we are not going to end up with anything better, we could see this as an issue. All in all, I believe that we are going to see something changing, and for that to mean something we are going to end up with them getting some new players, or suck once more.

He successfully became a player who contributed to bringing Spain to the final round of Euro 2024. He also recorded 1 goal in the 6 appearances he played with Spain in this competition, he also recorded 1 assist. Surely he will complete his task first to make a decision whether he will go to the Saudi Pro League or stay at Atletico Madrid. He still has 2 years left on his contract with Atletico Madrid, which will end in 2026.
Some media say that Alvaro Morata still wants to stay at Atletico Madrid at least until his contract ends, but that is still just a rumor because the media I read some time ago is not media that can confirm the truth, I also haven't heard anything new about him at the moment. I also haven't really heard whether Atletico Maadrid has given a signal that they will sell him or not, because they may also be waiting so as not to disturb his concentration at the Euros that he is currently participating in.

Fenerbahce are close to signing Allan Saint-Maximin from Al Ahli. Even though he didn't have a good season at Al Ahli, Jose Mourinho could have a more serious scoring winger in his hands. I don't know if he wanted this transfer or not, but assuming he prefers a fast game, we can already say that the wings will be fast enough. Saint-Maximin started 31 of 31 games and finished the season with 4 goals and 9 assists.

When these stars are not performing as they used to in the European clubs, the European clubs release them as free agent members, still those players wait to see if they have any offers from Europe. When they did not receive any offers from Europe, they chose the Saudi League to spend the later stages of their careers. But we saw something different happen in the transfer market last season as several players left Saudi Arabia last season despite having plenty of potential to do well in Europe. After moving to Saudi Arabia, they are getting huge amount of money as well as they are getting many privileges and they are getting expensive gifts from the owners and fans after every match which is why the Saudi league is in the center of discussion now.

31 is not so much, I think he will be able to spend a few more seasons at Atletico if he wants, and he will always have the opportunity to continue his career in Saudi Arabia, there is no need to rush for this. If he wants, he can play in the SPL for a long time, as Ronaldo does, but now, while he is at the peak of his career, it is worth playing in La Liga. Unless he is offered such a large salary that he cannot refuse, but it seems to me that such players will not put money above their career.

Actually, all of that is still like a rumor. Because everything will probably be decided after Alvaro Morata finishes playing at the Euros with Spain in the final. Because I heard the news that Alvaro Morata would decide at that time. but for now he is still focused on the Euros. This player is still 31 years old so it is very natural for this player to reject an offer from an SPL club. But to be honest, if he accepts an offer from an SPL club then it will make him one of the players who will get a lot of attention. But it seems like the rumors circulating are that he will indeed move to AC Milan. because it seems like Ibrahimovic played a role in reportedly trying to convince Morata to move to AC Milan.

Kepa is 29 years old, he is no longer a young payer, dude!
Sure, every player wants to be a main player, including Kepa. However, it is too difficult for him to be the main goalkeeper in Chelsea because there are too many goalkeepers there. He already joined 1 season as a loan player in Real Madrid, unfortunately Real Madrid isn't interested to sign him permanently. So, it is normal if he is starting to consider moving to Saudi league because he must be the main player there. He is getting old, he can't be a substituted player forever. Even if one of the reasons is about the salary, but I am sure the chance to play as a main player is the main consideration.

It is a wise decision to move to Saudi league. As long as he chooses a top club in Saudi and gets a regular position as a main goalkeeper, it is a good decision for sure. By the way, he only played in Real Madrid as a loan player in the last season, he is still a player of Chelsea. It is good if he doesn't stay in Chelsea and prefers to move to Al Ittihad. I doubt if he can play regularly in Chelsea, he probably spends a lot of time on the bench. It will be bad for his career.

There are more rumors about Ederson the Brazilian goalkeeper of Manchester City. It seems Al Nassr is still interested in hiring this player.
However, because of the money Ederson asked they made a delay and considered other options for the next season but Ederson is still close to joining Al Nassr.
Recently he followed the account of Al Nassr, however, he is still under contract with Manchester City until 2026 but he lies to play for Al Nassr to earn some more money there since he is getting close to ending his career as a 30-year-old player.

Yes, in this transfer market the Saudi Arabian League clubs will definitely be looking for players from big European clubs again. Although it cannot be denied, the targets of Saudi Arabian League clubs are players who are quite old. Because until now, as far as I know, there have been no young players from big European clubs who have joined clubs in the Saudi Arabian League. Maybe for now young players from Europe think the risks are still too big to join the Saudi Arabian League. Because of course, if you have joined a Saudi Arabian League club, it will most likely be a little difficult to re-join a top European club. Therefore, it is rare for young European players to join Saudi Arabian League clubs or other league clubs in Asia. The reason is, young players from Europe prefer to spend their youth playing in European clubs. The reason is, from the past until now it cannot be denied that European league clubs have always been the main destination for footballers from all over the world.

However, even so, the Saudi Arabian League clubs also deserve a thumbs up, because so far three mega stars have been successfully brought to Saudi Arabian League clubs. These players are Ronaldo, Neymar and also Benzema. It is possible that in this transfer market there will be other European players brought in by Saudi Arabian League clubs. However, currently the transfer market is actually still a bit hampered, because the European competition and Copa America have not yet finished. So this will definitely hamper the transfer market a bit this season. Therefore, the peak of the transfer market will definitely occur after these competitions are finished. And Saudi Arabian League clubs are of course monitoring or targeting European players at the moment.
