Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

Some allegations were going to the chelsea. It's caused by chelsea was selling so many players to the saudi clubs. We knew that if some super stars like kante, ziyech even koulibally have been going to the saudi pro league. The thing that surprises me if PIF also has enormous investment in clearke capital as a company that has been acquiring chelsea with todd boehly. It was making so many eyes are paying more attention to the chelsea.

Some parties were accusing chelsea of selling so many players to the saudi clubs to avoid sanctions caused by spending so much money last season. So far, there's no statement came from EPL regarding this but is it mean that chelsea was also under PIF as well?

That's interesting to know more.

Really how can anyone think that this doesn't play a role in their mind? It is not worth a discussion you say. I mean how can I say you are wrong if that is your opinion and you are also not forced to take part in such a discussion either, but they know what they are doing and their vision is now 2030, but it goes beyond that. Since soccer is the national #1 sport, how would it be surprising to anyone if they use their money to build a "Champions League of Champions Leagues", as was written in the article. If I had to make a guess I would say yes, they will one day try to build a Super League.

Sorry for my previous response, mate. I thought what you said was not sourced, but apparently rumors about it have even been published in digital media. That means, it's true that it's possible in the future we'll see a very super league, beyond the club world cup which brings together Champions League winners from each continent. Let's see how they move in the football industry, that's all we can do for now.

It is no longer a secret that the main reason why so many European players are going to the Saudi Arabian League is because of the fact that that it offers huge financial rewards and also guarantees that the players will fall back to their acquired wealth whenever they retire from football.
The Saudi clubs aren't majorly concerned about the financial weight that these deals seems to possess, they just want to get this European players signed so their influence can make the league more global and competitive

It was never a secret and everyone knows the mains reason for most of the players when joining the Arabian team at the end of their career is the better money they can earn on these teams even the most famous players like Raul from Real Madrid and Xavi from Barcelona played in the Arabian teams. However, these two players both joined the Qatari teams but the Saudi teams can even have a better situation financially.

That's for real, most of the players who had been playing for European Leagues prioritise the Arabian league for the money involved. More popular players were brought into the league. The Saudi Arabia Pro League teams were making use of the opportunity, which means the financial situation of some teams were really down and Saudi Arabia Pro League teams were doing great signing players from those teams.

After Ronaldo, many European players joined the Saudi League at the end of their careers. Since the Saudi leagues have started taking European players into their leagues for money, I think we will see many young players join the Saudi leagues for money. If many famous stars can join their league then the popularity of their league will increase a lot as the popularity of the league will increase and their league will be respected by various European leagues. Now maybe many players are being offered from Saudi League but most of the players are rejecting those offers one of the reasons is that the Saudi League has not come much into the spotlight yet. But if every year like this they can get players from European clubs then their league will be at a better level.

As time passes on the young players will start moving to SPL because other players will start moving over to Saudi and the league will become competitive and interesting that FIFA will be left with no option than to support them. Arabs feels that it is football that is the next that they need to make their country popular and in business with the world. The fact is that these Arabs are very rich and knows how to entice the players with huge offer that is tempting.

The Saudi Arabians are making the football environment uncomfortable for other leagues with the huge amount of money they offer to players, some other leagues in other country cannot compete with them. Right now attention is on them because of how they are attracting very experienced players (world class football players) to their league to play and finish their career there. Everyone knows that it is just in a matter of time and they will start to try to bring younger players to Saudia Arabia to play in the league. If they are able to successfully start attracting younger talented players who contribute to the competitiveness in there respective leagues, competition can reduce in other leagues and increase a lot in the Saudi Arabia league.

This is indeed inseparable from the role of the Arab kingdom which provides so much financial support for several teams in the Saudi league so that they can bring in star players. But this also has to be commensurate with what they have spent and if this investment is successful of course the Arabs will be more advanced in terms of tourism and entertainment.

We know that football is the most popular sport in the world and the arrival of a star player will certainly make everyone interested in watching their idol compete in the Saudi league. I think the Arabs are very smart on this matter and they will definitely target the Saudi league as one of the top leagues in the world in the next few years if they can consistently bring in other star players.

With the current state of things, and the market force, Saudi Arabia pro league are topping in this transfer window, they are now competing with all European clubs in the market, this is just the beginning of what they will become in the next five years, the European media houses are making wrong predictions on the league just to reduce investors moral, but the league are getting more investors now than before, everyone wants to invest in the league, because of the international audience they have gotten ever since Ronaldo joined the league.
Europe should better watch their back, Saudi Arabia is coming, the taxations and the environment are the key factors players consider for choosing the league over some clubs in Europ.

Saudi Arabia's different approach to football begins from the last Qatar World Cup. Their great win against Argentina surprised the whole world. At that time, Saudi Arabia was widely appreciated in football. Since then, the head of government of that country gave a different opinion about Saudi football. He wants to spread the reputation as well as re-introduce Saudi Arabia to the world. ‍He may try to bring the 2030 World Cup in Saudi Arabia. Since they are economically rich, transferring players to their league will not be too difficult. Already well-known players have been brought into their clubs and they will now try to keep young players. If their efforts continue, their country's football will improve simultaneously their league will also gain international recognition.

However, these two players both joined the Qatari teams but the Saudi teams can even have a better situation financially.

Some of them, of course, want to end their career to get a bigger salary at an increasingly old age like benzema where he is already 35 years old and most likely he will be able to play for the next 3 seasons before choosing to retire. And there are also other things like Kante where he rarely gets minutes to play because the coach prefers other players while at Chelsea and that is also a strong reference if they want to play full time by joining a Saudi Arabian club and plus a higher salary.

Teams from Saudi Arabia have considerable strength in terms of their finances so they are the best league at the Asian level right now because there are many star players playing there.

Benzema and Kante's move to Al-Ittihad displays their strategic foresight. Benzema, understanding player succession at 35, cedes room for fresh talent at Real Madrid. Al-Ittihad is his next stage, both lucrative and apt for his continued prowess display.

Meanwhile, Kante's transition ensures more game time and a substantial salary, a tactical move considering his recent woes at Chelsea. The Saudi league's rising star power fuels global intrigue.

No need to apologize, but even if there had not been any rumors about it by now, it would still be allowed to speculate about it and I think when you take all the evidence at hand, there is an indication that the SPL could only be the beginning of a bigger mission. The could also change their plans along the way and therefore nothing is set in stone until they announce it. But for now it is as you say and we can only wait. It is good to see other places in the world contribute to the ecosystem, but it is not good to see unstoppable inflation in the business.

Pretty much the same like SPL was forcing all of people in the world to watch its league. Money was forcing so many people to put SPL as one of their favorite leagues caused by they have been some great players were going to the saudi pro league.
Money talks much here. The money can buy you everything. A great player + his fans will come to this league. I just saw if intermilan has reached an agreement for brozovic's transfer.
He will be joined in al nassr as a new player. I saw that some offers were coming for him but intermilan is only selling him for arabian club. We will have another star to come soon.
The clubs in saudi pro league may be going even crazy next transfer season.

[Leviathan.007]

I'm thinking about Benzema and Kante both moving to Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia and they are going to play there for the next season and wondering what's the point of hiring all these superstar players for Al Ittihad. They are spending too much money on these players when they don't actually need all these players. The main goal for a team like Al Ittihad is to win the AFC Cup and I think the money spent there's much more than what they need to reach this goal.
I think they are working on their marketing power and sponsor to attract more attention for the next season.

Its not about how much money spent by Saudi Pro League teams for signing many star players and brave give most expensive salary, but Saudi Arabia has big ambition to be host for FIFA World Cup 2030 and make their domestic league popular is one way to make easily choose as host for World Cup. Asian League is not too popular is small money income when winning AFC Cup or Asian Champion League, but Saudi Arabia want to make their domestic league more popular and huge influence for watching Saudi Pro League competition.

Not balanced between income and outcome in Saudi Pro League teams, but their owner has much money and looks not priority get attention for getting bigger marketing power or sponsor.

I was thinking the same. Initially I had the fear that Europe's contracts with SPL may not turn out well in the nearest future, but later I realize that Europe will always be Europe. SPL is currently investing in their nation's football.  They want to have a great taste like Europe football. But some factors can hinder them from reaching the standard in Europe.  Such factors like Laws, the Environment, religion,  and many more will always be a problem. The money is there but football leaves in Europe. Players that are running to Europe currently don't desire fame and achievement, they are there for money. All will return to the Europe league after making their money. Unless SPL clubs start featuring in Europa competitions.

However, if such a league or tournament happens, I personally believe that SPL teams that have been strengthened by star players will not have a big chance of winning. So yes, if a league like that can work, then it seems that the winners will still be won by European teams because European teams have experience playing in very competitive competitions. Therefore, they only build to become famous although indeed, with a lot of money they can do anything. But still, when it comes to football then of course European competitions and teams are the best.

Maybe the goal of the Arab League is to bring star players to play in the Saudi Arabian league with the mission of making the Saudi Arab League famous and competitive. I salute Saudi Arabia, which is a rich country but progress is very fast worldwide.

In the past, legend players like Beckham, Henry, Drogba, Pirlo, Gerrad, Lampard, played in MLS because it used to be called a league for star players retiring. now the league of players wants his retirement to move to the Saudi Arabian league. The number of professional European players moving to the Saudi league will increase the value of this league, many Saudi league clubs have won the Asian Champions League and appeared in the Club World Cup. even the Saudi national team also regularly plays in the World Cup. This is an extraordinary progress for Saudi Arabia.

even though he is only 32 years old, Kante is suitable for being in the Arab League because he has found it difficult to compete with younger players in the Premier League. before having these two players (kante and benzema) al ittihad had already dominated the SPL, plus the presence of the two, surely al ittihad would become champions again in the next season, benzema and kante were an extraordinary combination. I can't wait to see how the former teammates (cristiano and benzema) fare in the SPL league.

Depends on the money. If young players are offered this kind of 100+ million dollars per year type of contract, I am sure there will be plenty of players, sure you won't get Haaland or Mbappe, but you will get a lot of great players. There are so many 20-25 year old players who are playing their roles at big clubs, or having trouble finding financial respect from those clubs, could leave for x50 more money. They can make more money in a single season than their entire career in Europe.

But if SA doesn't offer them that kind of money, and offer something close, then we are not going to end up seeing anything remotely close, it is going to be pretty different without a doubt. I think we need to just see the money first before we judge the situation.

Since Karim Benzema and Kante have gone to Al ittehad, this team has been strengthened. When Karim Benzema was in the Premier League, he also showed enough good performances. Karim Benzema has won every match for Real Madrid. However, Al Ittehad has been dominated by two famous stars, so the SPL can improve in the future. On the other hand, Al Nassr has Cristiano Ronaldo due to which the SPL has gained more popularity now. Al Ittihad won the SPL this season despite not having many stars. And now Al Ittehad has two good stars, surely they will try to win the championship every season.  With two world-renowned stars joining the SPL, Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo will surely do well in the future.

I hope Kante will not have any more problems with his injury because if he has been injured for a long time he will be even more vulnerable but so far they have passed the medical which means Kante now looks fitter he will also have many minutes to play with Benzema who is the mainstay of striker Al Ittihad.

I think next season for Al Ittihad will not be that easy there are many other teams that are being built like Al Nassr who has Ronaldo and Ziyech and Al Hilal has Ruben Neves and Koulibaly as his defense, it is rumored again that Thomas Partey, an Arsenal player, is now still at Try negotiating with the Saudi team.

The main goal for a team like Al Ittihad is to win the AFC Cup and I think the money spent there's much more than what they need to reach this goal.
I think they are working on their marketing power and sponsor to attract more attention for the next season.

First, we are surprised by the record salary that Al Nassr offered to Ronaldo after the 2022 world cup Qatar. after this competition was over, other clubs competed to bring in other top Europeans. Al Ittihad, the winner of the 2022/2023 season competition title participated in enlivening to bring in newcomers from European leagues. unmitigated, to bring in Benzema, Al Ittihad was willing to spend money as well as a fantastic salary. of course, we wonder why Saudi clubs are suddenly competing to bring in European stars even though Ronaldo and Benzema are no longer young.

After investigating, it turns out that these clubs have been acquired by the PIF company under the auspices of Prince Mohammed bin Salman. which means, clubs such as Al Nassr, Al Ittihad, AlAhli and Al Hilal, are owned by one person, namely the Saudi prince with a project built together with the Saudi kingdom. scenario, they want to develop Saudi football more developed. plus, introducing the Saudi world from the football side.

I think their goal is not really to win the cup like the AFC. however, more than that, maybe we can only speculate and assume. in fact, Ronaldo was signed and at the same time became the ambassador for the 2030 world cup for Saudi Arabia. that means, their target is to host the 2030 world cup. plus, at the same time introducing Saudi to the world that they are ready to be open both in the field of business or whatever that seems to be their project. that's why, there are many famous players they bring in. one of them as I said above. plus, the Saudis are targeting the attention of the world's eyes on them through football.

by the way, this is my assumption and has nothing to do with actual facts. So what I'm saying from my perspective, is most likely wrong.
