Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[marcous]

The latest news that I follow says that the manager from Sadio Mane has denied rumors of Mane going to the SPL, and so far they have not received any offers from Al-Ahli. And about Bernardo Silva I'm not sure he will accept an offer from Al-Hilal even though their offer is quite tempting, namely 3 times the salary than when he was at Manchester City, this player still has the potential to play in the major leagues with his current age.

Yes, this news seems to be untrue because it has been confirmed directly by his manager Sadio Mane, that Al-Ahli has not made any bids for Sadio Mane. So you can be sure that it is only a matter of media coverage that Al Ahli is interested in recruiting him. At the moment Mane is not in his best form, this can be seen from his goal statistics last season. Coupled with the news of the commotion between Mane and Leroy Sane that occurred in the locker room, it makes us think he will leave Bayern Munchen next season.

It is also very surprising about Bernardo Silva who is targeted by Al Hilal, I agree with you it seems that Silva will refuse to accept offers from the club. Even though he's triple his salary he seems happy with City, he's just won the Champions League and the EPL. Guardiola will keep Silva for next season I think.

It's only natural I think why Bernardo Silva is considering joining Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal, because of the three times the salary offered to him. Silva seems to be leaving Man City for a variety of logical reasons, including the factor of not getting regular playing time being one of them. Because Pep Guardiola cannot guarantee the regular place in the main squad that Silva wants.

But it seems there is a possibility that Silva will anchor to a Ligue 1 club, namely PSG. Enrique as PSG's new coach seems to want Silva to be in his squad next season to add strength after being left by superstar Lionel Messi who moved to Inter Miami. Of course this is very interesting considering that the two clubs that want Silva's services are wealthy clubs. I think Silva prefers to join PSG rather than Al Hilal, because PSG plays in the Champions League.

Yes it's only natural, it's big opportunity to think about because he can earn a big salary there, also he already got a lot of achievements in europa so there is a possibility he will choose club Saudi because of money. I heard rumors that Bernando Silva is also being targeted by PSG, indeed if he join at PSG then of course he can play in the UCL, but Al Hilal gives him a high salary. Maybe if PSG can offer a high salary too, then their chances of securing this player will be even greater.

It also shows that these younger players are having an inner fight with themselves because they wonder for how long the sheikhs will be pumping money like mad into soccer. If they offer him a contract now and he knew that they would also offer him the same contract in three years, maybe his decision would be different and he would prefer to play for Manchester City or another club on the highest level. But at the same time he is afraid that this situation comes to an end before he agreed to a contract like that.

Given that PSG will have just the right place for such a player now, they will be in serious contention for him. By the way, if Mbappe's transfer goes through, PSG will have 200 million. That's a lot of money, you can buy some good players and give them a big salary, so the chance of Silva moving to PSG is quite high, but then again there's the dilemma of which is better, money or Eurocups...

It seems Sadio Mane is very much close to the exit doors in Bayern Munich and he is going to Saido teams soon because even Bayern Munich doesn't want to continue working with him and they prefer to keep trying to hire Harry Kane from Tottenham.  

Sadio Mane’s move to bayern Munich did not favor him at all, it was a mistake he would forever regret in his career. Mane is a very good player and his days in Liverpool was the best for him, he was the best player in Liverpool alongside Salah, they worked hand in hand with firmino and achieved great success, they won every trophy there is to win but in the Liverpool didn’t need his services anymore and they brought in new players to replace him even though he was doing wonderfully well. Mane is still supposed to be playing well but it seems bayern munich style didn’t favor him and obviously tuchel has no plans for him so it will be best for him to accept the offer from saudi.

Thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Al Nassr last season, the Saudi league now features a significant number of European players. The league will suddenly be extremely competitive, and it will receive more attention.

[rahmad2nd]

Roberto Firmino's is fast aging and wouldn't be giving 100% performance he was delivering in his early years as Liverpool player. He knows that accepting any offer with a top European club might not give him much playing times as he would be preferred to be coming from the bench.
Saudi Arabian clubs are offering huge amount of money which most the European players that are going there will fall back to after their retirement from playing football. He's still got great footballing skills that'll make his stay at in the middle East a success

I just hope Robert Firmino deliver a good job in his new club, he would afterall he got lengthy experience in European football. Saudi Arabia is the final destination for any footballer looking to earn an excessive amount of money from clubs. Earning big bucks is the only option for Robert Firmino; he's one of Jurgen Klopp's excellent players who performed when given the chance. The Brazilian international's decision to become part of the Saudi Arabian team is completely understood; players that transfer to the Saudi league have little or no performance to provide, because it's all about competition. 

We agree, that Firmino is a player who has skills that can still be relied on even though he is already 30+. we know very well, that the big salary was the trigger for a career in the Saudi Pro League. maybe that's why, he received a proposal and joined to play in the Saudi Pro League instead of being a reserve player in a European club.

but with Al-Ahli, Firmino needs a partner on the field so that he can perform as well as when he played at Liverpool. at a minimum, he needs teammates who know his style of play. maybe that's why, the club wanted Sadio Mane to join. at least, these two star players have worked together when defending Liverpool. Currently, Al-Ahli will be having intense discussions with Bayern in the coming days so that the reunion of Mane and Firmino can materialize. if Mane is willing to accept the offer, then these two players can become partners in Al Ahli's front line. even so, like it or not the club had to bring in several other newcomers as a complement to the squad. or perhaps, they need to have good enough local players for the team to be competitive to compete in the Saudi Pro League.

I think there was a rebuttal from Sadio Mane's agent that there was no offer from the Saudi club so he is still likely to stay with Bayern Munich, a reason for sure that Bayern Munich still want to keep him.

You talk about Sadio Mane when he was at Liverpool that is in the past and indeed his contribution at the previous club Sadio Mane did a lot of things including being a lot of great players, now he is at Bayern Munich but his expectations are still not as desired even Sadio Maneh is only a little scoring goals at the club at the moment plus he had a previous injury.

I think of course with the quality he has of course he doesn't want to be bench warmer if he wants to stay in Europe. So his decision to join Al-Ahli was a good decision for his next career. Therefore, I think the salary factor was also a big consideration in agreeing to accept Al-Ahli offer because he was reported to have received twice the salary he received when he was still at Liverpool.

I think the Salary sector is the main attraction for European players to join the team from Saudi Arabia. For Firmino, whose abilities and skills have been tested, it is possible that he will easily develop the abilities he has because the Saudi Arabian league is not as strict as the Premier League. Seeing as Al Ahli who entered the promotion team this season, of course their strength will be stronger after successfully bringing in Firmino and I think they have to bring in a few more players to be able to properly organize their game next season.

Moving to the Arab Pro League might be a career setback for some of Europe's top players like Firmino and a few others.
There is no reason to move to a non-competitive league like the Arab Pro League if not the high salary offer and the inability of players to compete among other top European players. Firmino failed to reach an agreement with some of Europe's top teams before making a decision, but I think it's just the best option for him to enjoy the final days before his retirement.

I think some of the top players who move to the Arab Pro League will find it difficult to return to Europe if their contracts are long enough with their new clubs. The team that sold him to Europe made huge profits, so of course it's difficult to get them back for such a low amount unless their contract expires.

Even before the news broke out that there's not been any official offer from any Saudi Arabian club trying to sign Sadio Mane, I already know that Mand wouldn't leave Europe to go play in the middle East.
Sadio Mane might have had a not-so-good season with Bayern Munich last season but still possess the abilities to make up for his shortcomings come next season. Bayern Munich knows how important Mane is to the club and would not risk letting him go at this point

[makishart]

Any speculation from Saudi Arabia take it seriously, be it fake source or none source, the Saudi Arabia offers are tempting, its hard for player to turn it down, not now that the league has gain international recognition. couple with the fact that the player in question is a Muslim man. he might consider. he has won every big trophy in Europe. so if Mane consider the Saudi Arabia offer, is a good decision.

That's true, but mane is still holding himself. He is not rushing with his decision to take saudi's offer. Saudi's offer is really interesting for any player who received it. The saudi clubs offer very big salary for anyone who has been targeted by the club.
Mane could turn down saudi's offer if he still wanna staying in bundesliga or move to another european league. Mane has so many doors to enter. Saudi was so crazy as many of saudi clubs offering multiple times salary compared with what already received by the player in european league. The only problem is it will quite impact the career of football player. It's caused by they gonna play in less popular competition.
If i were mane and i seek for money, i will go for that offer. Since mane was playing in bayern to be paid with money. Mane can also enjoy his life.

It's still just a rumor circulating because no official offer has yet come to Bayern Munich for Sadio Mane. I think Bayern Munich option to defend Sadio Mane is a pretty good strategy because he needs time to adjust to Bayern Munich game. For this reason, I don't think Al Ahli will be in a hurry in this recruitment because if they are in a hurry, they will most likely have to spend a lot of money to recruit sadio mane from Bayern Munich.

Previously, if you look at the depth of the Bayern Munich squad, of course they don't yet have an attacker who is really productive enough to score goals so they will use it to retain Mane for next season. For Al Ahli they are currently building a squad for next season, I see Al Ahli being linked with many top European players.

[asriloni]

ITs good to Mane to exit from Bayer Munich, he doesnt  have a good path on Bayern and also he have that problem with one of his companions, so i dont think that relationship its gonna healt, better to him to walk away and find a new path.

Mane's manager bacare cisse already made a confirmation of mane is still staying at bayern munchen for another season. Mane seems reject saudi club's offer for him this time. Even though mane being called as toxic player in bayern munchen but he is not willing to leave from the club in a short time. Mane still wants stay in the club for another year. The problem with sane already solved and mane is still trying to adapt with bayern's culture.

Many rumors said mane could get back again to the liverpool but no confirmation came from liverpool. I prefer to see mane to stay for another year rather than trying to leave from abyern.
Bayern rumored has opened its door if mane was willing to join in another club now.

Saudi teams signing players, a good start for them. Robert Firmino knows what he's doing and is taking bids from Saudi Arabia clubs, signaling a new beginning for the Brazilian. He's aging, but he's still outstanding in terms of 100% on-field performance, so we shouldn't underestimate him, as he's in a position to surprise his new supporters at any point in time. Each phase he needs to do now is stay completely fit for games and get acquainted with his new teammates and coach; he may find it difficult to play with them at first, but things will become simpler for him as time goes on.

The Saudi league is gradually adding legends one by one. They are going to show off all the famous footballers in their country. Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante, Eduard Mendy and now Brazilian star footballer Roberto Firmino have joined the Saudi League. The star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo was the first to join this league and since then others are joining. Roberto Firmino was a free agent since the end of his contract with Liverpool, and now since joining the Saudi league, everyone related to football expects from him something new. Liverpool won the Champions League title in 2019 and Firmino also playing a key role in the Premier League in 2020.

There's no one who underestimate him. firmino has been leaving from liverpool as a legend. He just wanna try to continue his career in the club that is willing to pay him a lot of money, he has been welcomed by so many his fans in saudi.
He was feeling happy to play there. Mendy gonna go there soon. Al ahli is still seeking more european professional player to be bought by the club.
There are so many players from european clubs gonna move to the SPL. Im very happy to see firmino to join in al ahli. Even though this club is just promoting to the SPL this season but i can call al ahli has been fully committing to sign so many great players to compete next season. Al ahli has been also sending an offer to the mane. I hope firmino will help ahli to convince mane to leave from the club and join in al ahli

however, the arrival of several European star players to the Arab Club was there to support and some to criticize. business-wise this might be good for the SPL, as of course, it will attract a lot of attention not only local Arabs only when Star players with a lot of followers will also be focused on match broadcasts.
but in terms of the development of their local players, there is a lot of criticism that their arrival will reduce the playing hours of local players. and chances are it's true. local players of course have to compete harder to keep their place in the team.

[X-ray]

Saudi clubs are not only focused on overhaul their teams. So many clubs are now also focusing to hire competence coaches to handle their clubs for upcoming season. ESPN has been reporting that if l nassr has been signing the new coach.

Cristiano Ronaldo got a new club coach on Thursday when Al Nassr announced they hired fellow Portuguese compatriot Luís Castro.The Saudi Arabian club confirmed the appointment from a preseason training camp in Portugal. The length of the coach's contract was not disclosed. Castro is the latest coaching hire this week in the cash-rich Saudi Pro League, following Jorge Jesus at Al Hilal and Steven Gerrard at Al Ettifaq.

https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/37969292/cristiano-ronaldo-saudi-club-hire-luis-castro-new-coach

Since castro has same nationality as ronaldo. It will be very good for ronaldo to have a new coach that was coming from portugal as well. Im happy al nassr is not only focusing in building the club by bought so many european players.
The club is also putting coach as one of important thing that must be taken care by the club.

[Fiatless]

I think there was a rebuttal from Sadio Mane's agent that there was no offer from the Saudi club so he is still likely to stay with Bayern Munich, a reason for sure that Bayern Munich still want to keep him.

You talk about Sadio Mane when he was at Liverpool that is in the past and indeed his contribution at the previous club Sadio Mane did a lot of things including being a lot of great players, now he is at Bayern Munich but his expectations are still not as desired even Sadio Maneh is only a little scoring goals at the club at the moment plus he had a previous injury.

The news was all over the place that the Senegalese striker will be moving Al Ahli to join his former Liverpool teammate Roberto Firmino. It would have been a sweet reunion for both players. This news also tallies with the understanding that Thomas Tuchel wants to overhaul the Bayern Munich team and that Mane is on the list of players that will be sold out of the club. But the recent clarification by his agent Bacary Cisse has disputed this speculation. He claimed that there was no contact between the player's management team and the Saudi Arabian top club. This development depicts that Mane is willing to fight for a place in the club. I also think Mane still has more prosperous football years ahead and Germany will be better for him to achieve more. Saudi Arabia will be a suitable destination after he leaves Bayern.

[Oneandpure]

There's no one who underestimate him. firmino has been leaving from liverpool as a legend. He just wanna try to continue his career in the club that is willing to pay him a lot of money, he has been welcomed by so many his fans in saudi.

Actually, Roberto Firmino still on the top performance and has compete for playing with top European teams, but excited salary offer from Saudi Pro League teams can't make him denied for playing with Al Ahli. All players will happy playing with the teams want to pay them more higher salary payment than previous teams, although they not play on higher level competition but earn much salary enough for Firmino depend play with European teams has lower salary. Seems some star players move to Saudi Pro League teams has decision not play yet with their national teams, except Cristiano Ronaldo still play for Portugal I don't think has other player will play for their national teams in World Cup or EURO.
