Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[wiss19]

Till the next season of Saudi Arabia Pro League starts the players hunt will continue. This have led to the statement that the league is buying success with money that doesn't sustain in the long run. The team wants top 100 soccer players into the league within the next few seasons of Saudi Arabia Pro League to make it one among the leading leagues played around the world.

How is it possible to bring in 100 players while the club that is active in bringing in star players is only 3-4 clubs and almost all of these clubs are owned by the same company, I think it's just an unbelievable rumor. If we talk for the next few seasons, I still doubt because we have not seen the impact of the arrival of these new players except related to popularity I mean if it does not bring financial benefits then it will not last long, we have seen phenomena like this before in other countries.

Surely there are few concerns about this but still all is possible because right now most of the clubs are controlled by few companies and after having few good seasons then we will have more changes which will bring new managements and better rules as well right now things are going just for their campaign of world cup 2030 and for this money is not problem because right now their target is just had this event in their country at any cost.

After this all they need to work on quality and performance as well because for the fan's attraction these things are important otherwise we will have no financial and domestic success right now with this all they also need to work on academies as well which will also create good image of this league around the world, and they will be able to attract youths from the world.

Al Nassr has been targeting Brozovic from Intermilan, but Brozovic has not yet agreed to join Nassr due to salary issues, so Nassr is now getting a new target while waiting for an answer from brozovic and intermilan. It's RB lens's captain seko fofana who has been targeted by al nassr to be bought by the club this season.

It has been confirmed by a lot of reliable sources that if al nassr is trying to approach him to join in the club and play together with cristiano ronaldo. Lens is now in talk with al nassr regarding seko fofana's transfer.

It seems like that if this gonna be another interesting deal for lens. The fees to get him has not been revealed by lens. I think that lens was also putting high price for seko fofana.

Al nassr is moving as fast as possible to get european players as many as possible.

I was not expecting to see Hakim Ziyech joining the Saudi teams because he can still have good performance in the European teams. Hakim Ziyech is just 30 and he could play there for at least 2 or 3 more years. However, Ziyech is going to have 12-13 million per year from Al Nasr which is a good amount of salary for a player like him to have a bad season at Chelsea.

Because the condition that Ziyech is currently facing is that Chelsea are looking to build their team from scratch, so they have chosen to sell quite a number of players who may not be deemed in accordance with what they are trying to build. It seems that Chelsea will only retain young players, last season was a nightmare for all Chelsea players so it also affected the players including Ziyech because last season he only played 18 times without a goal and only made 3 assists.
Hakim Ziyech at Al Nassr will get a portion of playing as a main player because it will be a waste of money if he is only on the bench, by playing as a main player he still has the chance to restore his career which had dimmed last season due to the fate of his club, and the most enjoyable is his salary at Al Nassr is several million dollars more than he is used to at Chelsea.

Hakim Ziyech's move to Saudi Arabia was very surprising to me because of the footballing qualities he possesses as a right forward player. Though Ziyech didn't have a good season to remember last last season and that's because of the fact that Chelsea as club was very poor and the two managers that managed the club last season wasn't seeing Ziyech as their preferred regular player but that still doesn't change the fact that he's world class just as we all saw his performance with his national team Morocco in last year's FIFA World Cup tournament.
The high financial wages that comes with playing in the Saudi Arabian League I think is somehow affecting quality football. I initially thought that it was for veteran European players who were nearing the end of their career but with the recent happenings, football might lose it's relevance if FIFA continues to allow clubs and leagues to buy success with money

Al Nassr has been targeting Brozovic from Intermilan, but Brozovic has not yet agreed to join Nassr due to salary issues, so Nassr is now getting a new target while waiting for an answer from brozovic and intermilan. It's RB lens's captain seko fofana who has been targeted by al nassr to be bought by the club this season.

I don't know whether he should bargain too hard. The offer from Al Nassr to Marcelo Brozović was really good and would have seen a 2x increase in his salary. As per reports, Brozovic is close to a deal with FC Barcelona. Al Nassr was willing to offer €20 million, but the Croatian superstar wanted a minimum of €30 million. A delegation from Saudi Pro League met with the player at his hometown (Zagreb), but the negotiations reportedly came to a roadblock over salary. Anyway, it looks like Brozovic is not that interested in moving to Saudi Arabia. I just hope that everything will turn out well for him at Barcelona.

This hesitation by Brozovic proves that the price that clubs from the Saudi Professional League have to pay to convince players to go there is quite high. Within Europe a player would immediately join another club when the salary is raised from €10 million to €20 million, but going abroad to Saudi Arabia is a tough decision. That shows that it is not a place that all players want to go for other reasons than money. It is all about the money and as soon as they are offered enough of it, it is ok for them to even spend some time of their life in Saudi Arabia. It is lifetime in exchange for money. And a 2x is even that much because all of these players are aware of what those clubs are willing to pay others as well.

The Saudi league has the arrival of a new star, Edouard Mendy, who has successfully joined Al-Ahli from Chelsea. An agreement has been reached between the two parties and Al-Ahli also officially announced it yesterday. The transfer fee is around £17 million and the salary per season is around $12 million plus add ons. I think that is a very good number for Mendy, especially since he is full of winning various titles in Europe with Chelsea.

It's not a new challenge because he came to make money and I think that's a pretty reasonable goal considering the number of European players that have come in the summer to saudi league teams. The duration of Mendy's contract is until 2026 and it is quite a long season for Mendy with Al-Ahli.

congratulations to all thee stars players leaving Europe to be part of the new world league. No one ever expected this fast development in the league. all Players are now considering the Saudi Arabia league ahead of any other European clubs. some people believed it's because of the huge amount of money offer by the Saudi pro league, but it's beyond that, the conditions in the Saudi Arabia pro league are better than the European leagues

[FanEagle]

It will be a good development if only other nations continue accepting their proposals and contracts. But building a league to the high of best among the best requires more than importation from other leagues. Europe's football stands the best to date not only by importing from other leagues across the globe but also by recruiting the young ones and establishing new football academics that are wwell-equippedand conducive for sport. I think if the Saudi Arabia government can adopt this idea, it will promote their football both at the club and National level.

That type of youth team would be very expensive but something they can afford to do. They are going to pay a total of 500+ million to all those famous people, if they spent 500 million to build youth academy for the three big clubs they have, and a scouting network in all big known football nations (mostly Europe and Latin America with maybe some Africa) that would cost a lot less.

That way they could find players that are under 15 years old, and they would have thousand and thousands of people employed in all those nations, and counting for the next talent, then they would be paying those talents literally just tens of thousands of dollars to go to youth academy in Saudi Arabia as well, and develop them there. This would require less than 500 million a year, much much less, look at Ajax, so it would be smarter without a doubt.

What conditions please? Will you care to explain more in details the conditions that you mean. Do you think that without the very high tempting transfer fees that players will willingly want to move to Saudia Arabia to play in their league just because of the conditions that you have mentioned? I do not think so. The money is the major reason for many of the players that have joined. Only a few players who really like European football and have considered that their family will not be comfortable with it has refused the move to Saudia Arabia. Money is a very strong factor.

Footballers play football every year because of money; it doesn't matter if they play in English Premier League, La Liga or the Saudi leagues. Also i need you to understand that the players are able to bag a transfer to Saudi League because they are quality players and can still perform effectively.

Please remember that footballers play football for money

We cannot assume all players are the same and take the same conclusion maybe money is the main reason for players who are close to retirement or at least those who will pass their best career but the situation is different for young players, they always take options to compete in European competition this is a fact that happened until now therefore we do not see young players who are famous playing in the Saudi Professional League. In addition, the Saudi League in the stage of being one of the best leagues, remember 'one of the best' does not mean it has become the best.

Please remember that footballers play football for money 

True but i don't even know why people are always forgetting it. I meant they were seeking popularity and money from being professional football. Even though people were seeing saudi clubs with a half of their eyes but saudi clubs have been offering something that can't be done by european league. Money is everything in the football. The footballers will not ba playing football if they will get salary from their works. That's it.
It soudns non sense to see people stated that if professional football was playing not for money.

Indeed, all because of money but the fact is, there are still many players who choose to stay in Europe even though there has been an offer from a Saudi Professional League club. Also, even though it's all because of money, but they also have great self-awareness, that is, when they still don't have many achievements at their productive age, then of course they will also prefer to keep playing in Europe. Even though at this moment the Saudi Professional League is on the rise due to the huge number of transfers, but it does not mean that the Saudi Professional League is the final destination for old players in Europe.

[salad daging]

I believe the saying that many players move to the SPL because the offer is quite large, of course that is quite promising because they will have more places to play, that is what they want to become a starter.

You say SPL will be better than Europa League? I don't think so, the Europa League will still be a more competitive league and compete above the SPL, I can't compare this to the SPL basically this league will still be different from what we want, but of course with many players coming to the SPL will also be even more interesting but the differences will still be different.

I agree with you that every professional football player pursues two things: fame and money. Those who are willing to pay more for their skills are where they will anchor themselves. In this regard, the Saudi Arabian League is not yet as competitive as the top European leagues such as the English Premier League (EPL), La Liga, and Serie A. However, it is important to remember that the leagues I mentioned were not built in a few years to reach their current state. This is what we are witnessing now, where teams in the Saudi Arabian League, with full support from their government, are investing in football for the long term. By recruiting star players with experience like Ronaldo, Ziyech, Benzema, and Kante, they are demonstrating their commitment to building and investing in this sport.

It is not impossible for the Saudi Arabian League, with its financial influence, to attract young and emerging star players. That could very well happen. In the future, they could also bring in the best coaches who can improve their teams. With these developments, I believe that this league can rise to a higher level and become a competitor to other top leagues.

Of course development will always be gradual, especially for the Saudi league which has only been exposed since last winter, of course it will become a new market for football players to determine their future career. Now the thing that needs to be considered for the Saudi league is to prove that local talent is no less than European star players.

Apart from that, I think the arrival of European players is certainly also to attract tourists who want to vacation in Arabia and that is also an important point of the agreement with European star players. For the condition of the Saudi league, it is still quite far from the condition of the top European leagues and as it should be, the top European league will always be an interesting one for everyone at this time.

Hakim Ziyech's move to Saudi Arabia was very surprising to me because of the footballing qualities he possesses as a right forward player. Though Ziyech didn't have a good season to remember last last season and that's because of the fact that Chelsea as club was very poor and the two managers that managed the club last season wasn't seeing Ziyech as their preferred regular player but that still doesn't change the fact that he's world class just as we all saw his performance with his national team Morocco in last year's FIFA World Cup tournament.

Hakim Ziyech has dealt a serious blow to the assumption that European players who move to Saudi Arabia are because their careers in Europe are finished or rather because players are of an old age who are no longer productive playing in Europe. If you look at Hakim Ziyech's performance at the Qatar World Cup with Morocco, he shouldn't have moved to Saudi Arabia because I think there are still many European clubs who would be willing to accommodate him to play next season.

The decision taken to play in the Saudi Arabian League was actually very surprising because Hakim Ziyech's age was still productive enough to play in Europe. Chelsea became the worst club in the Premier League last season and it wasn't Hakim Ziyech's poor performance, but the coach was unable to take advantage of the quality of the players they had.

The high financial wages that comes with playing in the Saudi Arabian League I think is somehow affecting quality football. I initially thought that it was for veteran European players who were nearing the end of their career but with the recent happenings, football might lose it's relevance if FIFA continues to allow clubs and leagues to buy success with money

Modern football has lost the essence of players and most tend to choose clubs that can provide large salaries. It's more to business and what happened is so fast and Saudi Arabia has made various shocks in the current transfer market, even though it doesn't violate the rules but this kind of football has lost its identity as a professional player.

[Doell]

Indeed, all because of money but the fact is, there are still many players who choose to stay in Europe even though there has been an offer from a Saudi Professional League club. Also, even though it's all because of money, but they also have great self-awareness, that is, when they still don't have many achievements at their productive age, then of course they will also prefer to keep playing in Europe. Even though at this moment the Saudi Professional League is on the rise due to the huge number of transfers, but it does not mean that the Saudi Professional League is the final destination for old players in Europe.

Exactly, first is achievement. If these players don't have achievements in the europa, then money is not their main target. Achievement is like the goal that must be achieved by professional players, but if they have got it then I'm sure the next thing they are chasing is money. But actually it's also complicated, we can see what Messi is doing, he didn't receive big offers from this league. In terms of achievements he has got a lot of achievements in europa but he did not choose big money from this league.

[Docnaster]

I was not expecting to see Hakim Ziyech joining the Saudi teams because he can still have good performance in the European teams. Hakim Ziyech is just 30 and he could play there for at least 2 or 3 more years. However, Ziyech is going to have 12-13 million per year from Al Nasr which is a good amount of salary for a player like him to have a bad season at Chelsea.

Hakim Ziyetch doesn't have to think too much before accepting this offer. Under potter, He wasn't recognized in chelsea and that has affected his career. I'm glad Al Nasr see his worth. Ziyech under Tuchel was one of the best but was a second choice in Potter's regime.  A pair of Ziyetch and Ronaldo will make a formidable squad and I'm sure he will be glad to see CR7. The good news is that Ziyech is still young and there is every tendency of him returning to league at the end of his contract

[el kaka22]

Not a lot of people watched Ziyech apparently, he had one of the most terrible seasons of his career, he was better even when he was like 16-17 as a young kid, this was the worst season. This made other teams doubt is talents, even Saudi league didn't trust him, you think 12-13 is a lot?

For Saudi league that's nothing, they pay that to lower league players, I remember them getting some striker from a non-top20 league team and they still paid him 11 million. So this is literally the worst place for any player, a point where even Saudi league doesn't think you worth their money. I would say it would be understandable to accept if it was 30 or more, that's a lot, but this just means nobody in the world willing to take a risk on him at all.
