Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[QueenVera]

All leagues use the power of money to bring in players so there is no reason to exclude the Saudi League it's just that the Saudi League is a little late in using the power of money, not only Saudi even the American League also uses the same method. Now young players and old players have their own place to compete imagine if there was no Saudi League maybe we wouldn't see Ronaldo and Benzema playing again.

We can't blame the Saudi League because they are buying various players from Europe for money. There is nothing wrong with the fact that the clubs that are in the Saudi League have the financial power to use that financial power to bring players from Europe to Saudi Arabia. When Manchester United began to ignore Cristiano Ronaldo, no other club in Europe expressed interest in signing Ronaldo. When no team in Europe showed interest in taking Ronaldo, if Ronaldo had not received an offer from Saudi Arabia, his football career might have ended there, but because of Saudi Arabia, we still see Cristiano Ronaldo on the field. Now maybe most of the stars come to Saudi Arabia at the end of their career but after a few seasons it will be seen that many young footballers will come to Saudi Arabia to build their career.

At some point in the EPL most Club spent huge money on signing players and offer them huge wage bills to move over to their team and therefore the Saudi League shouldn't be left out because they're trying to do all they can to develop their league and make more popular than it used to be and i think they're created a chance for older players that still got football at heart to continue playing till they're due for retirement.
 So far the league is becoming more interesting every week and I they hadn't use their finance to establish themselves maybe not everyone would heard of Al-Ittihad, Al Taawoun,  Al-Nassr or even know about the team but the presence of this top players have created awareness to people all over the world, especially the arrival of players like CR7 and Benzema, especially Cristiano Ronaldo that's got alot of fans on his social media handles.

There are some problems with the Saudi Arabian club's policy of charging European players quite high prices. One of them is Lukaku, I found news that Lukaku is currently having difficulty getting a new club. Although some problems also started with him, Chelsea are struggling to sell him at the moment. Reportedly there was a sizeable value agreement from the Saudi Arabian League, but indeed Lukaku refused because he wanted to play in Europe. But as a result, Chelsea are currently struggling to sell him or go on loan. This is because Lukaku is not in the Chelsea coach's plans.

It seems you missed some important news Chelsea really wants to let Lukaku go but no club wants to buy him permanently except the Saudi League but Lukaku is not yet interested in moving to this league because he thinks he can still compete in Europa League. Now Lukaku has found a new club, he has been loaned to Roma and there is no point in linking Lukaku with the Saudi League except in the coming season, If Lukaku fails to contribute to Roma then Lukaku will have to think again about the offer from the Saudi League.

It's too early to speculate about where Romelu Lukaku will be in the next season but it doesn't matter if we talk about it early because this is a hot topic of discussion at the moment and I'm a little sure that in the next season it won't be between Inter, Juventus or other clubs in europe giving a big offer to Lukaku, I think this player will be forced to accept the offer from the Saudi Arabian club and try to appear with other European players who have been here earlier.
Actually, there is no harm in trying to join a Saudi Arabian club because the Arab league is currently experiencing an increase in popularity so that in the long term this Arab league will become a big league.

Well, if we're talking about the league in Europe, it's somehow safe to say that clubs that has money is indeed not interested in acquiring Ronaldo anymore but for the smaller clubs, they want him as it's hard to think that they are not, it's just that they cannot afford Ronaldo that is why they are just silent about it. Furthermore, there are also some clubs in US soil that are keen to have him. Let's say if he wasn't called out by Al-Nassr, he would be playing in US, just like Messi because there, their talents are still worth it.

It depends on the player's perspective sometimes they think that if they choose to move to the Saudi League then their career will be over, Oscar is one of the players who experienced this, when he decided to move to the Chinese League in 2017 then no European clubs were interested in him, even though we knew in 2017 that Oscar's career was very impressive and one of the most expensive young players unfortunately his career was trapped in the Chinese league, maybe this is what Lukaku and other players think.

I think Lukaku still has arrogance after causing problems for himself so currently he is confused about wanting to go to any club which in reality has no interest in recruiting him, even several European clubs are currently not eyeing this player and for me when Lukaku rejected the offer from the club Arab has become a mistake that he should accept for a few seasons if things improve and a European club wants him to buy him he can accept the offer again.
I don't know what Lukaku is thinking at the moment, although I know that players who are not yet old still have big ambitions to compete in Europe, but at least he also has to see how the Saudi Arabian competition has now had big changes after many reliable players moved to Arab clubs like Ronaldo but it seems like Lukaku is a football player who is difficult to control and arrogant in his own stance which will lead him astray.
I think next season the Saudi Arabian club will not make any more offers.

Prince Salman has plans to make Saudi Arabia a center of attraction, and one of the biggest shares in these plans is football. Since it is one of the most watched sports in the world, it allows the best players in Europe to spend big money by bringing them to the country. I think next year will be an important year because if it continues like this, SPL will be a league with a level of quality that can surpass the best leagues in Europe with reinforcements other than the current players. Of course, Lukaku can come to this league next year.

It seems like Saudi and China cannot be equated because after all, even though at that time the Chinese League recruited some European players. But still, there was no significant growth and or no increased popularity about the Chinese league at that time. This is clearly very different from the Saudis who managed to bring in many great European players, not just one or two but many. Therefore, right now even if they choose to play in Saudi then I believe, playing in Saudi is not the end because the Saudi league in fact has long-term prospects and not just increasing popularity.

There are few visible differences between the SPL and the Chinese Super League, the SPL started with quite a genius move. Landing mega star Cristiano Ronaldo is the first step to open the gates for players in Europe, of course this step is in line with adequate budget support. Even though there is only one Ronaldo, it is enough to convince European players to be tempted to continue their professional careers at the end of their careers. Something that the Chinese Super League did not do in building their League, but that does not mean they failed.

There are also quite a lot of former European players playing in the Chinese Super League, Oscar is one of those who is still playing today. Drogba, Macherano, Anelka and several other star players have played there, but in fact the SPL has been more successful in building its image in a short time by bringing in former European players.

Yeah we can't compare in terms of prospects but maybe there are similarities I mean leaving the European League and never come back to the European League
Currently the Saudi Pro League has many advantages but we have not seen European players coming to this league and moving to other European leagues
This means we don't have any real evidence to refute these rumors or we have to wait the next 1-2 seasons. However, logically based on the player's age, this will not happen.

Manchester City's defensive midfielder, Rodri, is now also commenting on transfers taking place in the Saudi League. He said this talent drain must be controlled in a certain way and what Rodri said was true. However, I don't think there is anything that can prevent it as long as both parties agree to agree on the transfer. He also added that it was a shame that so many young players were leaving for the Saudi league and he hoped for any party to quickly control this situation. In my opinion, if veterans join a Saudi league team, that's not a problem, but sometimes it's quite a shame if young talents leave just to make money rather than with the mentality of winning titles in Europe. Could there be a solution to limit young players going to the Saudi league? If so from you, what is the right solution for this?

There is also nothing that should be worrying anyone, just like how other teams got players from each other, Saudi is doing the same and couldn't be blamed for anything. When the beloved City of his ended up spending ton of money to get all those titles, did he complained about how his team was spending more than teams like Fulham or Brighton? Of course not, and he was happy that his team was owned by a rich person who was willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy players.

Now I look at it and I can say that it's the same thing for the Saudi league to do this as well, there is nothing wrong. Just like City got anyone they want, Saudis are paying whatever they want as well. There are a million human rights things I can judge Saudi Kingdom, but not football.

Maybe for some young players who don't shine, they will likely accept if they are offered to join Saudi clubs, especially with a high salary offer. but for players who have big names, such as Osimhen, Mbappe, and maybe several other young players. They will clearly prioritize their careers in the European League, let alone competing in the highest caste league, namely the Champions League. they are not so tempted by money, in fact the shining young players are more interested in joining Europe's top teams.

The case is different with players aged 30+, some are interested in joining to compete in this league. Apart from being offered a large salary, they can enjoy the rest of their career in football. for example Benzema, he is still very reliable for Real Madrid. However, considering age, plus in the near future his position will gradually be replaced by young players. In the end, he accepted Al Ittihad's offer plus a fantastic salary. well, for now, not many young players are interested in getting involved in the Saudi Pro League competition. because after all, Europe's top league has always been the dream of football players all over the world.

Georginio Wijnaldum is definitely one of the best players who joined Saudi Lague, This palyer played for teams like Roma, PSG, and Liverpool in the past joined Al Ettifaq, and played in these teams with Steven Gerrard.
Steven Gerrard hired players like Jordan Henderson from Liverpool and also Wijnaldum who joined Al Ettifaq with a three-year contract.

In fact, it was Cristiano Ronaldo who paved the way. Of course, there were some players who went to Saudi Arabia, but they were not such a popular league. When they saw the opportunities offered to Cristiano Ronaldo, other football players must have thought why not play in Saudi Arabia. When they were offered such high salaries, it became a center of attraction.

The Chinese super league had initially spent some good money in a bid to acquire players from Europe but later gave up that venture as it generally wasn’t profitable and their league didn’t attain the popularity they had hoped for when bringing in such players.
The Saudi league on the other hand, has the means to build and develop their league as well as setting aside a lot of funds in bringing in players from Europe. The stark difference is the Saudis are keen to develop and grow their football leagues and this is evident in the increasing number of European players making the move to go over and play in their league.

Georginio Wijnaldum had his first training with his team.

Wijnaldum is a good midfielder and he can play well in both attacking and defense so he is helpful for midfield of any club he plays for. His problem is injuries as since his latest seasons in Liverpool and AS Roma, he got many injuries and his total appearances in past for Roma is only 14 matches. He missed many matches because of his injuries that will continue to be his main issues when playing for Al Ettifaq.

In fact, it was Cristiano Ronaldo who paved the way. Of course, there were some players who went to Saudi Arabia, but they were not such a popular league. When they saw the opportunities offered to Cristiano Ronaldo, other football players must have thought why not play in Saudi Arabia. When they were offered such high salaries, it became a center of attraction.

Cristiano paved the way for star players in Europe to join Saudi Professional League and fill their pockets more with money. He is a first brick for an ambitious strategy from Saudi Arabian government that invested for the league through PIF. They hope through Cristiano, they will make noise, attract more star players from Europe which are all true and reachable now. The rest big target for their strategy is whether they successfully improve quality of the league and domestic players in long term.

It is a biggest objective of this ambitious strategy to help Saudi Arabia has a stronger league and more competitive national team for World Cup 2030.

LOL.. Georginio Wijnaldum joins the exodus from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). The difference here is that he is not going to one of the four "big" clubs in the Saudi Professional League, which are owned by Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund. Al-Ettifaq is privately owned, and I am surprised that they are spending so much money on players like Wijnaldum. They have a formidable team now, with players like Jack Hendry, Moussa Dembélé and Robin Quaison already present in the team. Wijnaldum will be a good addition to their mid-field.

What I want to highlight in this case is that Georginio Wijnaldum has also played at Liverpool for quite a long time, namely around 5 years. And I think it's very interesting. Because now there are 2 former Liverpool captains, namely Steven Gerrard (Coach) and Jordan Henderson. Both are two legends at Liverpool. And additions like Georginio Wijnaldum make the Al-Ettifaq club truly have a Liverpool feel. So I wouldn't be surprised if these clubs would have a style of play similar to Liverpool. But actually Steven Gerrard wants Philippe Coutinho but it doesn't seem working out.

That's right, there is nothing that can hold back anyone if they have the money and power to do so and I think the Saudi league also has the right to do the same thing as what other top European leagues have done. The Saudi league just wants to introduce their league to the world and their way of spending so much money to sign top European players is one of the keys to the success they have achieved so far. However, now the top European leagues are increasingly under pressure with new competitors such as the Saudi league with all the access and convenience to make a lot of money and of course that's not what European players can do when they are in other European teams.

Saudi Pro League could be competitive and dissapointing more often, these conditions are probably not favorable for average clubs down here. We should look further to see how outstanding the club will be, recording winning results in forthcoming games. Georginio Wijnaldum in his first training with his new club, he's here to make good difference and contribution to the club. He is an important signing for Al Ettifaq this summer, the new boss, Steven Gerrard made sure he make some impacts on his squad this season and they're probably doing good.

Georginio Wijnaldum could be the main option for Al Ettifaq to help the front line in creating a sharper attack formation and enable them to score goals more easily and break through the opponent defense more freely.
For the time being, it seems that the one who looks very sharp in attacking is Moussa Dembele who managed to score 3 goals in 4 Al Ettifaq matches in the Saudi Pro League this former Atletico Madrid and Lyon player looks very free in every Al Ettifaq match in creating opportunities to win create goals.
When Georginio Wijnaldum and several of Al Ettifaq front line players can play compactly and in perfect combination there is a big possibility that they will be a team to watch out for in the Saudi Pro League.

Furthermore, Al Ettifaq has a match scheduled for next Saturday against Abha and it will be a home match for Abha and Georginio Wijnaldum can take part in strengthening the team to show his contribution as a new player for Al Ettifaq.
