Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[X-ray]

It seems that this has been well anticipated, Al Hilal is trying to bring Mbappe to the SPL at a price of 300 million Euros. They plan to hijack it from Real Madrid, Fabrizio Romano said in his tweet that Al Hilal had made an official offer.

Wow if it's true, then it is very likely PSG will sell Mbappe to the Al Ahli club, because at the moment only they which are to make such a big offer. Although there is still a possibility Mbappe might choose to stay at Paris by signing extend his contract with PSG, rather than being released to Saudi because the PSG deadline to Mbappe is still a few days away. But considering Mbappe current tense situation with PSG, I became doubtful he will extend his contract.

PSG already accepted an offer from al ahli. The result from this transfer will actually depend on how the outcome from the deal between mbappe and al ahli. Mbappe and al ahli shall ahve reached personal agreement to make this transfer happen.
No statement has been coming from mbappe. So many parties were pros and cons to mbappe and his attitude. Mbappe shall define his future as soon as possible. It's caused by al hilal's offer was the only one that has ever existed in the world of football.

It's a world record offer for him. Mbappe can also leave to the madrid as a free agent after the contract with al hilal gonna end. It's a win win situation for mbappe and PSG at this moment.

PSG accepted that offer but it is not enough to complete the deal between two clubs. Because they both need to get an agreement from Mbappe and so far no agreement fro the player.

No confirmation from Mbappe offcially but rumor is the player does not want to move to Saudi even the offering salary is very generous. Does Mbappe wait for a better salary offer from Al Ahli?

It's a world record offer for him. Mbappe can also leave to the madrid as a free agent after the contract with al hilal gonna end. It's a win win situation for mbappe and PSG at this moment.

Ah Ahli is very generous with the salary offer to Mbappe and they try to make it more attractive by including a term in a proposed contract which allows Mbappe to sign with Real Madrid as a free player next summer.

It will be win-win deal for all three sides, PSG, Ah Ahli and Mbappe if it is completed. If Cristiano Ronaldo is a first super star player joined Saudi Professional League but he is old enough and is counting down his last seasons in his career, Mbappe will be a young super star player who join them. He will put a first brick for other young super star players to join Saudi Professional League next years.

[Iroh]

mbappa parents should disown him if he reject such huge amount of money for just a year contract, its insane to reject it for trophy and personal recognition. he should go for the money, football is now a business for more money. no passion again, he could get the contract and sign for Real madrid next year. than to stay in Psg where there is no more love for him, from the fans down to the management.

Well, it’s a good thing Mbappe is the one playing and not his parents. And if his parents wants such amounts for themselves, then perhaps they should play professional football themselves.

I don’t agree with you on the passion being lost in football. There’s still passion in the game of football and that’s why I think European leagues would still be more competitive and recognized than the Saudi league despite having a shit load of money being pumped into it.

Football has always been in most part, a business. After all, it’s a profession for both players and managers. Players would always choose what’s best for them and of course keeping in mind the money to be earned.

There are extraordinary effects if Mbappe goes to Saudi Arabia. With this transfer record, there will be a league record for making the biggest transfer owned by Chelsea in the EPL. There are several rumors circulating, maybe this is a step so that Madrid gets Mbaape for free after only a one-year contract at Al-Hilal. But Mbappe's situation was difficult, he refused and Real Madrid did not pay for his transfer. He will be in a difficult situation at PSG. An unpleasant situation may have already occurred and will continue if he doesn't leave soon.

The 300 million are only half of the story or even less than half. Let's assume for a moment that Real Madrid offers 330 million and 40 million in salary, I think the issue is still there because for Mbappe the transfer fee is irrelevant. he has to make a decision whether he wants to become a billionaire within a single year (if you add on top what he already has) or whether he wants to go to Real Madrid for a tiny cut of what Al-Hilal is offering. I am only doing the calculations here, it is not that I think 40 million or 50 million wouldn't be much or enough, but it is a tiny cut of what Al-Hilal offers him and I think if he plays in Saudi Arabia, the salary is net after tax. In Spain any salary he gets will have to be taxed.

The problem is we don't know what Mbappe wants yet is he really chasing money? if yes then Al Hilal is the solution but what if he pursues a career? obviously Real Madrid is the solution, in general all top players will pursue career first then money therefore I doubt if Mbappe will choose Al Hilal. I'm not a Mbappe fan so it doesn't matter to me wherever he plays it's just that I'm interested in following this drama, I wonder if talented young players prefer money over career. If he was me then I would choose a career then at the end of the career I would make money 

If Mbappe and PSG both want to earn more money and earning money is the first priority for them, the solution for them is to accept the deal they can have from Al Hilal this way both will earn more, and all know, no team in the Europa will even offer them this huge amount of money. PSG can use the money to easily hire another forward to fill Mbappe's place.

PSG won't denied bid offer from Al Ahli with 300 million euro but depend on Mbappe will get deal or not for joining Saudi Pro League due he still on the top perform level for playing in Europe. Al Ahli make world bid record for transfer fees because they brave for paying with 300 million euro and not any European teams brave for paying with this price. Currently, Saudi Pro League teams have change image become most competitive and expensive league around the world, they brave paying highest fees transfer and give expensive salary for their player until 200 million euro for every season.

Almost twenty European players move to Saudi Pro League teams for next season, seems excited for Asian competition because they will face many top European player, but how possibility with their career playing for national teams? will all European player can participants for their national teams in bigger competition like World Cup,  African Cup,  EURO and Copa America?

[tusandii]

To make a big event like the European Cup also seems to have the option to build it because so far the Saudis have many qualified supporting factors.
But this is just a thought and there is not really a bright spot about it.

Naturally, they have good finances. That made them start building a club filled with former world players. Although they are in retirement age, their orientation is not only achievement. It seems that they have a good understanding of the football industry. The arrival of European players certainly increases jersey sales figures. So they are in the period of starting. Maybe it won't take long, the quality of the league will be the same as the European level. This is already a lot of Asian players who are in big European clubs.

So, that's right, and by having adequate finances, a football club can develop properly because it can meet all the club's needs.
Many people say that the Saudi club has spent quite a large amount of the budget and it is difficult to return the budget that has been used, but I actually have the thought that the sale of jerseys and also the sale of match tickets can return the budget that has been spent so that the Saudi football club does not suffer losses.

Yes, let's hope that what we hope for the Saudi League will actually be achieved in a shorter time.

After some time ago Sadio Mane was linked with Al-Nassr, now the player's agent traveled to Japan to meet with Al-Nassr who is currently also on a series of pre-season tours there. Even Sadio Mane has given the green light for the two parties to start negotiating. I think this is a sign that Sadio Mane is very prepared to be in the saudi league and maybe his situation at Bayern Munich makes him even more uncomfortable to stay. Let's wait for the next update and hope to find a bright spot soon to make this transfer easier.

Well, I would prefer a career if I was young like Mbappe. And I think everyone who plays football as a hobby, of course he will definitely prioritize his career. because the dream of every soccer player is to reach the peak of his career and be crowned one of the legends in the world of football. and I think Mbappe should also put his career first. Because if he plays for money then I think PSG will be able to increase Mbappe's salary as long as Mbappe wants to stay at PSG and extend his contract. But in reality Mbappe chose not to renew his contract at PSG and this frustrated PSG because they had used various methods to keep Mbappe longer but to no avail. So PSG decided to release Mbappe this season before his contract ends next season.

And I think that young Mbappe will certainly not be interested in playing in the Arab league. Of course he wants to reach the peak of his career in Europe. But it would be very surprising if Mbappe chose to play in the Arab League.

@BRINIRHA I believe that PSG are playing their cards very well here because they know that he won’t go to Saudi and by accepting the bid they’re forcing Real Madrid to make an offer and no Real Madrid won’t match what Saudi clubs are paying but it’ll yet be a decent offer and in the end PSG will accept it. Lastly if he chooses Saudi then it’ll set a terrible precedent because many young player’s will follow in his footsteps and the big clubs will lose out on quality player’s hence I’m praying  that he rejects this offer.

Maybe you are right about what PSG are playing at the moment. But I still feel worried if Mbappe is really interested in accepting an offer from Al-Hilal which is indeed very high, even exceeding the transfer price paid by PSG when signing Mbappe.

PSG will clearly benefit if Mbappe accepts an offer from the Arab club. Even the latest news says that PSG gave Mbappe permission to talk to Al-Hilal. Because after all, the decision is really in Mbappe's hands. An offer of £259 million by Al-Hilal for Mbappe would really be quite the news. And I have the same hope as you. I hope Mbappe prefers career over money.

[Queentoshi]

Where do the Saudi get the money that they offer these players because it is so much and very tempting for any player to reject.

@BRINIRHA I believe that PSG are playing their cards very well here because they know that he won’t go to Saudi and by accepting the bid they’re forcing Real Madrid to make an offer and no Real Madrid

Real Madrid will not try to match Saudi, they will be patient and wait for the right time to bring Mbappe to the club he has always wanted to play in. Mbappe will only play in Saudi if they will let him move freely after the one-year contract expires.

It is a good decision from Sadio Mane and his agent. There is no need staying in a club that you feel that they do not need you. Moving to Saudi is a good plan, there is a huge financial benefit for him as the successful player that he is.

The coach of Bayern Munich Thomas Tuchel has made it clear that Mane will not get an automatic first-team shirt because his performance last season was not encouraging. He managed to score 12 goals because he was challenged by injuries and unhealthy behavior. So he has to fight for a place in the team with Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry and these two players are in top forms. He was determined to fight for a place in the team but with Bayern gunning for Harry Kane, Mane may have seen that he has no future in Bayern.
 
Bayern is willing to offload him, hence the news of his agent meeting the representatives of Al-Nassr is not a surprise. At 31 he is still fast and strong, which means he can still play top-flight football in other clubs in Europe. But the financial benefit and the number of top players that have moved to the Saudi Professional League might motivate him to leave.

[Altryist]

It looks like Mbappe doesn't want to continue his career in Saudi Arabia so it doesn't really matter what offers he gets if he wants to continue his career in a European team, preferably Real Madrid. 

It is a good decision from Sadio Mane and his agent. There is no need staying in a club that you feel that they do not need you. Moving to Saudi is a good plan, there is a huge financial benefit for him as the successful player that he is.

Yes, it seems that this transfer can take place, Bayern is ready to sell the striker, because they do not count on him next season, and Mane also does not mind moving to a new club, I think the amount of the contract suits him quite well. Mane refused to talk to reporters, so the player himself did not comment on this news.

An attitude that must be taken if you are not guaranteed to play as a starter for the main squad. Tuchel is also unlikely to give Saido Mane additional playing minutes if his performance is not to his liking, the SPL will be a good port for him.
Playing alongside Ronaldo and enjoying a big salary while relaxing is also an achievement, football is not all about trophies.

Which glory has been spent when he was at Liverpool now at Bayern Munich does not match the expectations of the club so the minutes will not be given long, Tuchel already has a look at the squad for the new season but what is more tantalizing is a sizable offer for Bayern Munich there is news that there is 40 million for Al Nassr who is ready to redeem it of course this is the advantage of selling Mane.

He should enjoy his career for now even though the age of 31 is still quite ideal in Europe, but the Saudi league is more promising than all that is offered because European players who come there will be like kings who are much flattered.

After all, if we look at Mane's life, Mane is also a Muslim and that means, Mane will never refuse to play in the Saudi Professional League. Moreover, if Mane plays at Al Nassr then of course Mane will also still receive a high salary. So, it does not become something strange if Mane is ready to leave despite the fact, Mane also still has a long contract at Bayern Munich and it seems that this factor is also not a barrier for Mane to leave and play in Saudi.

[beerlover]

Do you think Real Madrid will bid higher than 300 million? I don't believe Madrid can do it obviously they would choose another player as an alternative even Real Madrid can bring in 3 great players at once    If this news is true then Al hilal will get Mbappe because there will be no other club willing to bid higher, unless rumors of Madrid and Mbappe having reached a personal agreement then there is no other option for any club. I personally believe that Madrid have secured Mbappe through clandestine talks that's why they didn't react anything to Mbappe's news, including the high bid submitted by Al hilal.

They won't, but they still have the final say in this transfer. Now you might consider the parties involved are PSG-AL-HILAL-MBAPPE these are the ones who are involved in this and how could Real make or break this deal. I will tell you how, if Real tells Mbappe that they won't sign him if he goes to Al-Hilal, then Mbappe won't go there, why should they, Mbappe is a great player and he should be quite happily go there next season and they will have a magnificent striker right?

Well football is not like that, Real cares about the character of a player a lot and if they see Mbappe just chasing glory and money, they will not want to sign him, not because he is bad, he is great, but because he would be trouble for the team.

A lot has been said about PIF and I have just tried to find details about PIF. PIF is a consortium of investors chaired by Mohammed bin Salman Al-Saud who is the Prince of Saudi Arabia and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It turns out that PIF manages and invests in Saudi Arabia. They are very rapidly developed.  Currently, PIF is one of the largest public investment institutions in the world with an estimated asset value of 620 billion USD or 514 billion pounds. Currently PIF Public Investment Fund owner Newcastle owns 80 percent of Newcastle now also owns 75 percent shares of Al Ittihad, Al Ahli, Al Hilal, and Al Nassr

By the way, if I am not mistaken, I have reviewed this more than a month ago. I feel that many people still don't want to know that this scenario is a project of the Saudi kingdom and the PIF company. the aim of this project is not only to bring the Saudi League on a par with other top European Leagues. but also to increase Saudi Arabia's popularity in sports, and aim to host the 2030 world cup later.

On the other hand, PIF has a mission to make Saudi Arabia a center for economic transformation by 2030. this ambition is realized through the mission of actively investing long-term capital to obtain re-financed as sustainable. besides that, continuing from PIF's mission, it also has the goal of becoming a global investment partner and empowering economic development and diversification for the Saudi Arabian kingdom's economy.
The first step they took was successful, in fact the Saudi League became a hot topic in the eyes of the world. in fact, this move is different from what china is doing with its super league. their goal is clear, not only for football, but to open doors for all business sectors starting from football. that is why, several clubs do not hesitate to bring in top European players even with fantastic salaries.
