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.

From what I see Benzema, even though he is a great player, he must have analyzed his injury history and concluded that it is better to go to a lighter league and as they are paying him a very high salary, so without a doubt that it is worth it for Benzema to be in Al -Ittihad, who is a much better team than the team Ronaldo is in, has a good coach and I don't know if they will keep the current coach, I'm talking about Nuno Espírito Santo who is Portuguese and made Al-Ittihad become champion . Busquets and Sergio Ramos are saying that they are going to the same team as Ronaldo, honestly that would be a good move

but the problem with ronaldo's team is the lack of a good coach, so far i haven't heard anything about hiring a coach for ronaldo's team, because from what i see good coaches prefer to stay in europe even with a salary that is not equal as for arabia, this is something very strange given that many coaches are already old, but as they do not run in the field, it makes sense to stay in europe to achieve great things that would fill their curriculum and mark their names in history

Here's list of players that have been linked to the arabian club

1. Benzema
2. Ramos
3. Messi
4. Busquets
5. Modric
6. Who's next?

Benzema has been deciding to follow ronaldo to go to the ittihad while modric has been also receiving very big contract from unnamed club. I hope that will be revealed soon like benzema which has been getting offer from ittihad.

So many players with big names come to the spl. That's good. Messi is likely the next one.

People keep thinking that Al-Nassr got him so that they would win championship, I always said that it wasn't about that at all. They lost by a hefty 5 point difference even though they were ahead when he got there, everyone who tried to defend him said "but his teammates are bad!!" when in fact those teammates without him ended up being leader before him, and lost when he got there, I think it was him that caused some disparity in the team without a doubt.

However, this was a move by the whole league, and the rich Saudi people, those wealthy people aim at making Saudi league top 10 in the world quickly, and their future goal is to be in the top 5, after all they have premier league and la liga which nobody can pass, Bundesliga is good and Serie is good but ligue 1 only has PSG, maybe they can pass that.

That's future though, they aim at top 10 and Ronaldo was the first step for that. They may overspend and get players that are famous and old for now and just be better. It is not just for one team, Ronaldo could have been at Ittihad and it is the same situation, the goal is to fill the whole league with great players.

It is possible, if there are several star players who will play in the Saudi Pro League next season. maybe, Ramos will be in demand by several Arab League clubs because it is certain that he will end this season with PSG. it could also be, Busquets if offered by big clubs in this league. yes, there are many possibilities that could happen. But so far only two stars have had offers to join Al Hilal and Al Ittihad.
For Messi, there is no certainty of news. But if you refer to several reports, one of which is Fabrizio Romano said, Messi will determine his career in the near future. If in the end Barcelona still has problems with FFP. This means that Messi has the potential to join Al Hilal.

In other news, Ancelotti on Karim Benzema and reports of a deal with the Saudi club : "I agree with Karim, the Internet is not a reality. Benzema has one more year contract with Real Madrid until 2024 and we have no doubts". However, in his statement, Benzema did not confirm that he would stay with Los Blancos. referring to another Romano tweet, Karim benzema: "stay or leave Real Madrid? now, I'm here.. we have Saturday's game. maybe after that, we'll find out for sure if he stays, or, very interesting to wait.

You shouldn't think so. Look at Barcelona - a big brand, big achievements and the club is almost bankrupt. At the same time, they cannot significantly reduce the salaries of the players, as they will simply start to scatter to more solvent clubs. The presence of super offers from the Saudis will only warm up the salary market and intensify competition for players. It is clear that the Saudis can not compete with Europe in any way in the football sense, but warming up the salary market, they (unwittingly) can cause many clubs in Europe to simply go bankrupt (or be forced to sell players).

Even so, Luka Modric has stated firmly in an interview, that he wants to stay at Real Madrid. So a club from Saudi Arabia that wants Modric to join, I don't think will get him at this time. Regarding European clubs, I don't think European clubs will feel too threatened by the breakthroughs made by Saudi Arabian clubs like today. Because even so, clubs in Europe still have class and quality that is very difficult for any country's soccer league to suppress. Because Europe has long been a storehouse of football and has given birth to many star players. In Europe, the facilities and teaching that are applied in football are very good and of good quality. Even from the past until now, many young players have dreamed and aspired to play in European clubs.
So it's not surprising that Europe won't budge and vibrate with the breakthroughs made by clubs from Saudi Arabia. And in essence, European clubs will never be empty of star players, because there will continue to be lots of great players coming from all over the world.
