Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Webetcoins]

The Saudi Professional League has become the center of discussion in the current football world. Even the Saudi Professional League is attracting the attention of players named in European football history. It seems a new season in football history has begun in Saudi Arabia. I think the football world will take a new dimension in the Saudi Premier League in Saudi like IPL. Although Cristiano Ronaldo entered the Saudi profession long ago. This CR7 has seen many European players now turning to the Saudi Professional League. So I hope, in the near future Saudi Professional League will be equally recognized all over the world.

In last few years we are having too many changes into this desert with things are taking serious changes MBS is trying to change dimensions of this country and opening things which were not possible before his entry into politics we have few big culture events and then now they are spending huge amount for the soccer game which is surely going to bring huge change in coming 10 years with many other sports are also under their radar even we have few problems but still they are doing their best which is giving them good success.

After having Cristiano Ronaldo, they have too many players which are now part of the Saudi League with many are under their radar for the coming season as they are having funds which can cover their all-achievements Tennis and Cricket are their also targets but still they need to be had all things well-prepared because they are having problematic past which is needed to be change for the bright future.

The Saudi pro league will continue to cook and this time it is Ricardo Rodriguez's turn who is rumored to be joining one of the teams in the Saudi pro league. His appearance with Switzerland at Euro 2024 has sparked interest from several clubs, but not only that, considering that Torino's free agent status means he can go anywhere freely.

His experience at several European clubs that he has played for, such as Milan, PSV and Wolfsburg, will certainly be an attraction for why the Saudi pro league team wants to recruit him. As a center back who can also play as a left back, it would be very useful for teams that need a stronger defense. One of the titles he can be proud of is having led Switzerland to win the U-17 world cup and I think that is a very good achievement.

How about Ricardo Rodriguez? Another Saudi victim. He's skilled, no doubt. It's hard to reach the Euro 2024 quarterfinals, but he didn't carry the team. The average age of his new league is about to increase. Yes, I understand. Money talks, and the Saudis are lulling these players. But at what cost? Rodriguez is in his prime and trading Europe's biggest stages for what? A couple additional zeros in his bank account and a tan?

This is modern football's issue. Passion has given way to profit. When did footballers dream of winning the Champions League? Now they want to raise a huge Riyadh novelty cheque. It's a damn shame

If it is a young player who is not from Europe or who is starting a career in Europe, I think maybe they will still want to join a Saudi Pro League club, but if it is a player who is starting a career in Europe, I think it will be difficult for them and it may even be impossible to get that player. Because young players usually prioritize their career, especially when they are doing it in Europe, which is the dream of almost all players. So even though the Saudi Pro League clubs are willing to spend big money, they (young players) will prefer their careers in my opinion.
So the choice is for them to recruit players who will soon retire from the world of football. What they can do is promote their young players so they can gain valuable experience from players who have played in Europe for a long time. They can do things like this to raise the league to an even higher level. They can increase their popularity by recruiting well-known players, at the same time they share knowledge or experience with their generation.

I agree with you on few points with currently Saudi League is not competitive as we have in UEFA with things are also not good enough for the players those are looking for good future to join Saudi League because they are having no conditions and competitions which can give them perfect development program which is available in UEFA so we have to wait for few years while we will have young players to be joined this league and having good future in other leagues as well.

But, here they are doing good work with bringing well experienced players which are already done their best in big clubs now can do something with these clubs and here domestic youngsters can learn many things from them which will help them for having improvement into their game one more than here in Saudi League we need all clubs to invest on their academies which will also help them also these can also surely a good source for them to have teenagers which could be also good source of income for them in future after good development.

There is a wide difference between current and former Saudi Arabia. This country has not shown much interest in its position in the international world in the past but gradually they are moving away from that position. The country is in the spotlight all over the world for the amount they are currently spending on football and what they will do in the future.

The Saudi government doesn't care about money, they are now trying their best to make their country known in the world and to strengthen their position among the strong countries. Many things were restricted in their country earlier but in recent times they have taken a more liberal approach. Now the big stars of European football are also coming to play in the Saudi League. The Saudi league has become a well known league in the world. The position of this league will be in the top five for the next few years.

Saudis tried to hire another player and this time unlike other players they decided to hire a younger player. Usually, whenever a top player decides to move to the Saudi League they would do that when they are about to end their career but now it seems Al Hilal is trying to do something new they sent an offer for a young player of Manchester United, Alejandro Garnacho.
Alejandro Garnacho is a 19-year-old player and he can have a shining future in Europe, That's why Manchester United made it clear that Alejandro Garnacho is not for sale even for a huge amount of money.

It is quite surprising indeed what Al Hillal is doing at the moment, it seems that they are indeed starting to try to recruit players who can indeed be projected for the long term, currently it seems that indeed the Arab team team is starting to try to shift their transfer targets to young star players so that it will add depth to the squad they have, of course currently the majority of European players who play in the Arab League are players who have entered the end of their career, and the goal is of course to get a lot of experience that can make the team mentality improve, so I think by targeting young players of course they will try to combine their squad to be even better.

At the moment it is reported that Al Hillal is starting to make a very big offer to Manchester, but I think it will be difficult for Manchester United to let Garnacho go to another team considering he had a very important role last season at Manchester United, besides that of course Garnacho will not sacrifice his career by playing in a less competitive league at this time.

I have to says Garnacho performance with Manchester United still not consistent this because sometimes he was performing well and often too Garnacho unable to play as expected but Manchester United is still considers that's normal especially Garnacho is still young and there is much time for him to develop his skill and performing well and as far i know Garnacho was including to Manchester United long term plan and they feel Garnacho can being an important player for them in the future so although probably Al Hilal will bought him with expensive price then Garnacho will not be sold

Indeed if Manchester United considering the offer from Al Hilal or even accept it probably they will received huge money from Garnacho transfer and not impossible Garnacho transfer will broke transfer record of this club but Manchester United has been decided to hold him and will not interested to sell him moreover Garnacho himself has been admitted that he feel comfortable to playing with Manchester United so in my opinion this transfer will not going to happend

It is highly unlikely that Garnacho will go to the Saudi pro league and he will just be the laughing stock of many when he gets here. He is still very young and is actually quite promising as long as the team he plays for gives him more opportunities. But even at Manchester United he experienced ups and downs in performance so many people doubted him.

Maybe Al-Hilal's offer is as big as other Saudi pro league teams. But if he had to go to the Saudi pro league, wouldn't it be better for him to go to his idol club, namely Al-Nassr, rather than Al-Hilal?

Well, however, this is just a rumor and with Manchester United he still has a lot of work to do and even if he feels like leaving there it should be to another European club that can make him more comfortable.

The investments made by the Saudis are not only in football, they are also building luxury infrastructure in every city, so that currently the region has become an attractive tourist destination. Saudi appointment as host of the 2034 World Cup is a new history in the development of their football, apart from making the Saudi Pro League more competitive.

The recruitment of superstar Ronaldo from United put Saudi football in the world spotlight, then many top European players followed suit. The financial strength possessed by Saudi clubs makes their plans run smoothly, even currently some of Europe elite clubs are experiencing a financial crisis. I think Saudi investment in football will be successful.

Meanwhile, in this summer transfer window, it is likely that the elite Saudi Pro League clubs will flood the market looking for new players, the money they offer can sometimes sound absolutely crazy, and make it difficult for European teams to compete.

But even at Manchester United he experienced ups and downs in performance so many people doubted him.

Agree. Even if there are many Saudi teams interested in him and want to pay him with huge salary, Garnacho must choose to stay in Europe. Garnacho must be aware that he must play in the best leagues in the world to improve his ability. If Garnacho joins Saudi league, his ability won't increase massively as in the European leagues. Although Garnacho decides to leave Man United, I think he will move to La Liga or Serie A only.

Maybe Al-Hilal's offer is as big as other Saudi pro league teams. But if he had to go to the Saudi pro league, wouldn't it be better for him to go to his idol club, namely Al-Nassr, rather than Al-Hilal?

It is good that he may play together with Ronaldo in Al Nassr. But he won't improve his ability and skills if he joins Saudi league. Now, he won't consider to play in Saudi league, he must focus on playing in European leagues.

Well, however, this is just a rumor and with Manchester United he still has a lot of work to do and even if he feels like leaving there it should be to another European club that can make him more comfortable.

Yes, it is just a rumor. In fact, Garnacho is very needed for Man United. Garnacho contributed a lot for Man United, he becomes one of the mainstay players in Man united. I guess Garnacho is still very comfortable playing with Man United. Ten Hag won't let him leaving because Garnacho is still a part of Man United for the new season. Ten Hag also showed his concern for Garnacho: Ten Hag warns Garnacho to keep his focus

The arrival of Mbappe and Endrick makes Joselu position even more marginalized, a right decision at the right time to leave Santiago Bernabeu. Joselu has made a real contribution in his one season loan spell, and Joselu was very lucky to have tasted the Champions League, La Liga and Spanish Super Cup trophies. Even though Ancelotti tried to keep him, it was time for Joselu to look for a new challenge. He is no longer young, and fortunately Joselu received a good offer from one of the clubs from the Qatar League. Joselu will earn a big salary there, and that's good enough before deciding to retire. The two goals that Joselu scored against Bayern Munich in the Champions League semifinals will always be remembered by Real Madrid fans, no one expected Joselu to do it in a very short time.

If Joselu still wants to stay in Europe, he should find a club that is in the English Premier League or La Liga and that is strong enough to keep him in the regular XI. If the star is planning to leave Real Madrid for PSG or Chelsea then I think this decision will be the right one for him. If the top teams from Saudi Arabia make him a big offer, there is a good chance that he will accept that offer. There is a lot of competition in the Saudi league now, so if he can perform regularly in this league then it will definitely be good for his fitness and career. Joselu can certainly consider himself an unlucky player on the one hand to have a place at a club like Real Madrid but he was never a regular there, perhaps a pity for him.

Joselu done very good decision as he accepted offer from the Qatar League club Al Garafa without any delay because this is currently second-best league in Gulf region after Saudi League and their offer was also very attractive because if he waits for any other offer maybe he lost this golden opportunity which give him good luxurious salary and playing opportunity with many other Spanish players are also involved in this league for the years specially we have Xavi Hernández as coach here as well.

Joselu which is right now 34 years old and were regular player for the Spanish side Espanyol which was relegated and then having loan spell here at the Real Madrid done good job which give him good opportunity to end his career on high note and big amount of money after playing in Qatar League with now after Mbappé arrival was not good sign for him to have enough playing time.

This is no longer a secret we already understand and can guess it, they didn't really build the league to be the greatest but to be the most famous and noticed in the world because they have other plans for the long term and now they have got it. Regardless of their plans, we just want to enjoy something impressive outside Europe especially in the Asian region.

In this transfer window we have not heard any exciting transfer news yeah maybe they are still waiting until Euro 2024 ends while paying attention to which players have the most potential to be brought in. To be honest, we are still waiting for some news about players from the Premier League like Moh Salah, this player's contract will end next season so this transfer window is the right time to bring Moh Salah to the Saudi Pro League.

Great that the Saudi Pro League is making headlines. Ronaldo, Benzema, and Neymar are joining. An audience loves a show. Are they long-term winners? Businessman and thrill-seeker. You must consider long-term in business. No one can buy their way to success and expect it to last.

Big-name players are growing old. Not for long, but for fun. After hanging their boots, what happens? The plan? Homegrown talent is also important. Ageing celebrities are overshadowing Saudi Arabia's youthful talent. These kids need support and a chance to shine. That creates a lasting league.

Your point is valid about football leagues not only aiming to be the best competition but also seeking worldwide recognition and glory. This is typically achieved through a grandiose plan that involves luring top players to the league and engineering more captivating competitions as part of a broader strategy.

At this point in time, the transfer market has been relatively quiet in terms of exciting news. It could be due to the fact that numerous clubs and players are holding off until Euro 2024 concludes. Following the event, there might be an influx of potential players up for transfer.

Concerning Mohamed Salah, his agreement with Liverpool will come to a close at the culmination of this season. This juncture stands as opportune for a league like the Saudi Pro League to consider weaving him into their fabric. A colossal transfer such as this has the propensity to hoist the league's standing and draw eyeballs from all corners of the globe, football fans worldwide.

The Saudi leagues are now competitive enough but not enough to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. The other teams in the Saudi League must compete with the bigger teams, which means they spend more money every season. The kind of competition we are seeing now in the Saudi League, if such or more competition is happening regularly, then surely some teams from this league will get a chance to play in the Champions League. When a team from the Saudi League plays in the Champions League, the popularity of this league will increase and this league will become as popular as a European league.

[kawetsriyanto]

Two team have quite big differences and we will never be able to equalize them, moreover Al-Qadsiah development will really be tested in the SPL competition next season, they will be under series of pressures against strong SPL team who always dominate.

If we compare where those teams finished in every season, Al Ahli is surely one level above Al-Qadsiah. Al Ahli mostly finished the season in the top 3, they even became the champion several times. Also, Al Ahli never relegated to second tier league but Al-Qadsiah experienced it last season. So simply Al Ahli is much better than Al-Qadsiah, Al Ahli is one of the top teams in Saudi league. And if we compare their trophies, it is more visible that Al Ahli is not equal with Al-Qadsiah.

Regarding Nacho, it is clear that money is his main goal, it is impossible for him to play with Saudi team just for low salary, but this is Saudi football which can always bring in lots of European players.

Besides money, Nacho wants to play regularly. If he stays in Real Madrid, he must compete with other defenders for the same position. It will be harder due to his age, other defenders in Real Madrid also has a better quality. So, it makes sense if he leaves Real Madrid and joins Saudi league. In this league Nacho gets a lot of chance to play and he may become the captain in Al-Qadsiah.

The Saudi League has a league that consists of many competitions and they also have an international league in their own league, namely the AFC Champions League, although it is not as famous as the UEFA Champions League, but the Saudi League is trying to match the level of the European League League, so we have to appreciate the Saudi League because they are trying to develop the game by apply their own competition and hope that one day they can be on the same level as them, it took a very long time for the Saudi League to become as famous as the European League and get the opportunity to play there, I even heard rumors that one of the Saudi League clubs, Al Nassr, got the opportunity to play there. Champions League, but this is still a matter of consideration and an agreement has not yet been reached. This will also cause injustice to other clubs in the Saudi League if only Al Nassr is invited there.

I do not think that they would be "tested" all that much, as long as they stay in the league then it is an achievement. I don't know if it's different in the Saudi league or not, but in most leagues at Europe if a team comes from second division to top division, staying there for a few years is an achievement, nobody expects anything else.

Maybe afterwards they may start to ask for more, but even then sometimes they just want to stay. Look at Leeds, they have gone up finally but then went back down, or Watford, goes up and down all the time. So, if it's different in Saudi league then I don't know, but if it is similar to Europe then I can say that all they have to do is stay in the league and do not drop one level below for now.

Being team that has just been promoted and in the future being able to stay in the main division for longer is success because they managed to compete and get comfortable place when starting new challenge by facing other teams that are much stronger than before.
But we don't know whether Al-Qadsiah will be able to survive longer and survive the fierce competition well in the SPL, several teams were previously expected to achieve good results but in reality they failed.

Almost every competition or league will always have several dominant teams that can never be easily beaten, this is threat to every team that is promoted to the main division because if they meet strong team it will definitely only be and it will be difficult to collect points.
If next season Al-Qadsiah is relegated then it is very likely that Nacho will lose his enthusiasm for playing well even though he gets large salary, it could be said that apart from money there are also other factors that make Nacho join Al-Qadsiah and one of them is SPL promotion.

SPL competition will become increasingly fierce, every team is trying to bring in various great European players to be able to create an increasingly sharp and strong game, this is special challenge for every team that has just joined the SPL.
