Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[bitgolden]

Gallar, with all due respect, but everything in life has a price. Of course we are not talking about some illegal things that anyone would do for any money. Messi isn't killing anyone. Messi has a price and I have no doubt about that. If he were to say no to 400 million, Al-Hilal could make it 800 million. Do you really think that Messi would turn down an offer of 800 million per year? Like, you really think that Messi could say "oh no, not about the money for me, I rather play the Champions League one more year".

Why did Mbappe not go to Real Madrid? The answer is easy and short. 200 million. Not because he loves France and the city of love Paris.

Money is the biggest factor here with one difference in the case of Messi. We are talking numbers that we could have never imagined to be talking about in soccer. But the Saudis make it happen because they have a plan and all the money in the world to realize that plan.

Messi already has a lot of money, and I mean A LOT of money, which means that he can reject it and still do fine, I do not think that he would be starving if he rejects it. By comparison, I have more debt than I can pay right now, thankfully it is month by month but I do not have enough money to cover my debt let alone anything else, and I would reject going to Saudi Arabia and living there for a year let alone do what I do as a business.

If they offered me, a regular person, literally just a normal guy, nothing special about me, 500 million to go there and live just one year, and not even multiple years, just one year? I would reject it. I rather be in prison in my own nation than live in Saudi Arabia. It's not even about Saudi Arabia, don't get me wrong, I do not want to upset anyone from there, you have a lovely nation I am sure, I have nothing against that, I just prefer my own nation to any other nation.

Al Hilal vs Al Wehda.

Al Wehda's success in getting rid of Al Nassr in this tournament is actually a strong enough capital to also compete with Al Hilal even though the two teams have a fairly large gap considering the state of their position in the league standings, but because Al Nassr is almost the same as Al Hilal, this is an opportunity for Al Wehda winning in this tournament was wide open, and that was proven because even though in the end Al Wehda was able to make the match go to penalties and penalty shootouts will always be difficult to predict because not all goalkeepers have the ability to read the direction of the ball even the best goalkeepers sometimes can only see the ball rolling to his goal, in the penalty shootout the two teams only hope that there will be players who fail to kick so that it is an advantage for them.

Statistically, Al Hilal's overall match dominated but Al Wehda could withstand all of Al Hilal's attacks well, as evidenced by the 8 shots on target, only one was able to penetrate Al Wehda's goal, and if Al Wehda were able to maintain the advantage they got from their first half it's could be they will win this tournament, it looks like Al Wehda really prepared themselves to get good results in this match but many factors ultimately prevented them from winning the Saudi King's Cup.

Curious enough to see the highlights of this match but haven't found it yet maybe because it's not Al Nassr so there aren't many media covering it, even when searching on Google only found news about Al Nassr's defeat to Al Wehda in the semifinals, it seems only Al Nassr club that is always interesting to report on media 

I'm sure, you can find highlights on the YouTube channel.

This fight took place quite dramatically. as I previously predicted, that the match would go very tough. if we talk based on statistics, it is clear that Al Hilal dominates ball possession. however, in the first round Al Wehda put up quite a tough fight. Plus, Karim Yoda's shot was pretty cool and was successfully converted into a goal for Al Wehda in the 35th minute. in the second half Al Hilal played more with a higher intensity, they provided pressing so that Al Wehda did not have as many opportunities as in the first half. Likewise with the minutes of extra time, Al Hilal dominated.

On the other hand, after Al Hilal fell behind in the 35th minute, they played more aggressively. too bad, Michael's hard shot hit the crossbar. in the second half, Al Hilal had many opportunities but none of them were able to convert into goals. in the 90 + 9 injury time minutes, Al Hilal was very lucky to be equalized by Ali Boleahi. which in the end, the dramatic match lasted until the penalty shoot-out. it's a shame, victory is in front of Al Wehda's eyes but luck is more on Al Hilal's side. which in the end, Al Hilal won the King's Cup.

Messi rumour to have accepted offer from saudi arabia is unconfirmed, and i don't think he will like to play here, his life is in Barcelona, if Barcelona brings any offer on his table Messi will accept it regardless of the salary cut down. It will  make more sense if he comes to Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo is doing well here and keeping fit for Europe 2024, Messi and Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia league will help the country and promote the league more. but this dream is really uncertain to happen. because Ronaldo might not spend two years here.

I'm not sure if Barcelona will want Messi to play for the team at this age, Messi will not make a good impact.  Barcelona needs young players with better physical strength.  It is been long time Barcelona won laliga championship,  they still need young player to fight for more trophies.

You are confusing a lot of things dude. Do you really think that Ronaldo has to live in Saudi Arabia as if he was in Saudi Arabia? Ronaldo is living a life in Saudi Arabia as if there was an island in Saudi Arabia that is the opposite of Saudi Arabia. He can do whatever he wants and I am convinced that this was a major part of his contract. Full freedom, full flexibility and never even a tiny threat that he could be confronted with the law. Of course he can't kill anyone, I am not talking about that, but he is free to do whatever he wants without getting penalized. Otherwise he wouldn't have signed the contract.

Now I wish there was someone offering you 500 million. I can't do it, too bad. I would love to see you decline within a blink of an eye. But hats off, you are one of a very few people in the world and would reject to live like a king in Saudi Arabia for only one year while getting 500 million for it.

despite the fact that messi can still help barcelona for the next few years, because there is lewandowski, it will be difficult to happen. choosing a team that is willing to pay an expensive amount is a decision that must be made by messi because that is the wisest decision. Even though many say Messi's transfer to Al Hilal will never happen but I doubt that, Messi will definitely go to Al Hilal.

It seems that next season we will see Messi and Ronaldo face each other in this competition. But the question is also whether those 2 will go out with each other outside of football? They have been rivals for a long time, maybe now they will become the best of friends. The story would have been totally fun if they had been on the same field together with the same team. In any case, they will probably play against each other, if one sheep is over the dam, more will follow?

Can you give me a link or an official claim that Messi will join Al Hilal next season. because, referring to some media that I read. plus, based on journalist Frabrizio Romano. He stated in a tweet, that Jorge Messi, said nothing would be agreed, decided or signed before the end of this season. another tweet, no change to Leo Messi situation, decision will be made at the end of the season. besides, Al Hilal is on the table since april while Barca remains adamant to find a way with financial fair play. so in conclusion, I did not find anything related to the news that Messi will play for which club after his contract with PSG expires on June 30, 2023.

Whether Messi returns home to Camp Nou, or takes an offer from Al Hilal. We don't have that statement yet, regarding Messi's agent, Jorge Messi, his own father.
by the way, Al Hilal's offer is very tempting even more than what Ronaldo got with Al Nassr. unfortunately, it is unlikely that Messi will not choose to play in this competition. except, if his colleagues like Busquets also leave for the Saudi pro league. did not rule out, if Messi will accept an offer from Al Hilal.

Even predictions are never been easy for any game and same can happen for the Messi's transfer to Saudi Professional League but as situation is moving around Messi we can expect his deal could be going to happen with the Al-Helal because he already announces he is not going to extend his contract with PSG and Barcelona situation is also not clear due to their huge debut and La Liga rules are also not helpful for him to allow him for the joining Barcelona in this all we can expect next season could be amazing here in Saudi League as we will have many top ranked players from different clubs of UEFA join here and end their career with hug funds which will be given to them after joining clubs here in Saudi League.

I have some information about Busquets he is also going to join his former teammate Messi in Al Helal as free agent because now Barcelona is not extending his contract, and he wants to join here.

Read his words careful, he says it seems which means it's just a speculation and that's what we're all doing here. Messi is a very big brand so PSG won't want to destroy their reputation by announcing that he'll be leaving when the season hasn't ended. Many things can go wrong of they do that. By just suspending Messi for two weeks the club saw the negative impact as their only presence began to reduced and that could have affected their viewership as well. PSG has to play it safe by waiting for the transfer window to open before anything is made official but it looks very likely that Messi is leaving PSG.

It's very admirable how Ronaldo has been able to stay in the goat debate with Messi for all this years despite all the disadvantage he has as he's the villain to all the news media. Their stories only sells better when they're attacking Ronaldo and that's why they can be praising Messi at the age of 35 for considering leaving Europe for Saudi Arabia but criticize Ronaldo for doing the same thing at 38 years. When it was Ronaldo, it was no club wanted him storyline been sold but as it's Messi, it's; he has completed football just to hide the flop move Messi PSG move was.

It is so good having this two big players  in Saudi Arabia league,  that means next season the league will be so interesting . For them to be in the same league it may create a better relationship between them. But I know their presence will be serious attraction from fans in the league.

I have not followed the news for last 5 days - has messi offically joined the SPL?
It was rumor ealier during his vaction days in Saudia? Is this news confimed

[Cryptock]

Well, for what you ask regarding the injury time that exceeds what it should be. I don't have the answer. however, we must seek further information. and that too, makes me curious.

Agreed, but unfortunately because the league in Asia is not like the leagues in Europe which get a lot of publication and supervision from organizations that have strict authority so that when there is something that we think is a little odd, it will immediately be checked and will also immediately appear in media coverage so that we as football lovers will know about it soon, so there is no news about things that I think are a little strange in the last two matches played by Ittihad FC. While trying to find out on google only found a reason why the injury time period in the 2022 Qatar world cup has become longer, and hopefully that is the same reason that happened in the saudi pro league.

On Monday Al Nassr will face Al Khaleej, this should be easy for Al Nassr to win but unfortunately because Al Khaleej is still on a rescue mission from the relegation zone, if Al Nassr looks down on his opponent, the opposite result is very likely to occur.

me too - I agree
Ronaldo is a good form now and people are expecting alot from Ronaldo
Now there is Messi coming to Saudia - the matches will be more interesting and more revenue be coming to PSL

If it was actually for a contract I quest it was worth going for,  but not informing the club is the wrong side of it. Messi is loved by many and I'm not happy about his attitude towards the PSG team. He is making his desire to exit the club too obvious and that is seemingly unprofessional.  
The contract is a good one, everyone will love to bid but it wouldn't have called for noise if he had proper arrangements. as the new has it, I will say Messi went for the Ambassador contract, as for him joining Arab league I can't tell till it happens.

Well, if we are honest here, it doesn't really matter what Messi does in the months before the transfer window opens. Let's assume he goes on a vacation to China for a week, I tell you that the media will report he is going to leave PSG for a Chinese club. From that point of view it doesn't matter. True that this was obviously bringing lots of media attention to it in Saudi Arabia, but as he said he scheduled this trip before and was forced to cancel it. I don't know the circumstances of the first time, but it is not like he went there for a couple of days. I can imagine that there are political tensions involved as well between the PSG boss and Saudi Arabia in general. Perhaps nobody would have said a word if Messi spent a day in Prague. In how far it is true that he didn't inform them is hard to tell. I suppose we know almost nothing about what really happened. It would become interesting once again when he really transfers to Saudi Arabia.

i have read the news that MEssi has joined SPL - is the news correct?
It is also circulating in the news - just wanted to confirm if that is officially declared or not

[Strongkored]

Can you give me a link or an official claim that Messi will join Al Hilal next season. because, referring to some media that I read

I read in this media about the news that Messi has signed a contract with a fantastic value and it is bigger than what Ronaldo signed, but not sure whether the news can be trusted and the news in the media was published about four days ago so it is still quite new, but it looks like FabrizioRomano will also tweet if that's confirmed, so I think this might still be a rumor, as Barcelona still seem to be working to bring back Messi to the Nou Camp
LIONEL MESSI TO PLAY IN SAUDI PRO LEAGUE NEXT SEASON AFTER AGREEING HUGE DEAL

by the way, Al Hilal's offer is very tempting even more than what Ronaldo got with Al Nassr. unfortunately, it is unlikely that Messi will not choose to play in this competition. except, if his colleagues like Busquets also leave for the Saudi pro league. did not rule out, if Messi will accept an offer from Al Hilal.

Somehow I think if Messi really would go to Al Hilal, what the two Arab clubs did by spending unreasonable money just for two players would not have a good impact on the development of football in the league, maybe the SPL would get a growing publication, but the quality would not be much different before the two players came there. There will be an extraordinary gap there and welfare will only be enjoyed by a few players.

If Al Hilal succeeds in bringing Messi, maybe Al Nassr will also look at other players or other wealthy clubs in the Arab league will also bring players with a similar value to make them also get publications from the media, and because Financial Fair Play (FFP) is only implemented by UEFA so these Arab clubs will not face sanctions because of spending huge money each season, but this league is going to start to forget when there are no more great players there.

The news circulating seems to be real because the Saudi Arabia team can afford to buy him, the Saudi Arabia clubs are looking for legendary players like him. I heard the news on different media platforms and I think it can be true,  it will be interesting to have him in the league joining Ronaldo.

The news seems true but the validity is not certain. It was published about 6 days ago (9th may) but is yet to be spoken of by other media bodies. Fabrizio Romano will also speak of this same news if it's truth value was confirmed.
Be that as it may, the amount mentioned in the contract is quite a huge money for one to end a career. If I was at Messi's age and I'm given an offer that doubles that of Ronaldo, I will gladly receive it. It will be exciting to see the two Europe champions play in Arab league.

News that are not true are not called news, it is called rumors or fake news for that matter.

At this point one can only make assumptions based on what facts we are presented with. Messi being an ambassador for Saudi Arabia and traveling there during the season knowing it would get him into trouble when he comes back is a strong sign that something could be in the making behind the scenes, or is perhaps already a done deal. There are a couple of indicators that speak in favor Messi going to the SPL, but patience is required until they officially announce his next step.

Actually no one can give exact information about this matter yet. Its amount can be increased in different media. Argentinian media reported that the Saudi club would pay Messi $400 million per year.

Every player wants to spend the last days of his career with a big club or having big reward. Messi will do the same in that direction. But his matter is still in the dark. Sometimes his transitions in Barcelona and sometimes in a club in Saudi Arabia, there are rumors that he can may go to major league soccer inter miami. In the current situation, no one has paid more money for Messi than the Saudi club. A visit to Saudi a few days ago reinforced this point.

Football fans speculated that Messi's relationship with PSG had deteriorated significantly and his departure has since become more and more certain. In this perspective i personally believe he will play in Saudi club.

PSG doesn't seem like a team that Messi will benefit from. They might end up not helping the Argentine star to win more titles and honours. they are several reasons why Messi could leave PSG. First of all, Messi as it stands is not a title-hungry player.  The only thing that could entire. Messi at that age and after all the honours he has earned, is earning good pay and doing what makes him happy to earn his career, if joining Al Hilal woul be one of those things then this news that looks fake may soon come to fruition.

[Gallar]

Messi rumour to have accepted offer from saudi arabia is unconfirmed, and i don't think he will like to play here, his life is in Barcelona, if Barcelona brings any offer on his table Messi will accept it regardless of the salary cut down. It will  make more sense if he comes to Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo is doing well here and keeping fit for Europe 2024, Messi and Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia league will help the country and promote the league more. but this dream is really uncertain to happen. because Ronaldo might not spend two years here.

I'm not sure if Barcelona will want Messi to play for the team at this age, Messi will not make a good impact.  Barcelona needs young players with better physical strength.  It is been long time Barcelona won laliga championship,  they still need young player to fight for more trophies.

When it comes to skills and stamina, I'm sure Messi still deserves to be able to play with Barcelona. You can see messi playing in the world cup in qatar a few months back. Messi performed very well he could score seven goals and three assists. Plus messi won the golden ball award and became the best player in the world cup which was held in qatar. achievements at his club as well, namely at PSG, Messi cannot be underestimated, because he has recorded good results, since his debut with PSG. So in my opinion, Messi is still very worthy of playing at Barcelona or other European clubs.
