Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[FanEagle]

There is absolutely no possible way that Al-Nassr could bring in Bernardo Silva, you must be crazy to think that it would be possible. Even with 100-200 million contracts you can't bring him. That dude was one of the core players of a team that did the treble, do you know how rare making a treble is?

To point out how rare that is, Real Madrid team that won UCL league three times in a row never made treble, you know the famous Ramos, Ronaldo, Modric, Benzema, Bale and so forth awesome team that looked like nobody could ever beat them? Never made treble, and yet City somehow managed to do that. Bernardo Silva was the part of that just recently, to get him you need something more than money, like Man City needs to literally fire him or something, it's literally impossible.

The saudi league is one of the best leagues you can play football in or work in without having to pay high taxes because of the money they make from their oil sales. They don't rely on all of this tax revenue because they are a very wealthy nation that treats foreigners well and ensures their comfort.

Yeah, saudi has different mechanism compared with european countries. It has so much money that was always coming from selling its oil. Saudi has so many sources of income. It will not be surprised if player gonna interesting to play in saudi caused by they have been paying with huge salary but small tax. It will make them all receive all of their money without getting cut by huge tax like european club. That's why even some players are choosing to go to the saudi pro league rather than stay in european league.

They use this influence of money to lure foreign footballers into playing for their teams, they offer them huge contracts that european clubs cannot offer a player. They used to only acquire old players before but ever since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo they now buy players at a very young age now. They brought an offer for ziyech, mendy, and even hudson odoi of chelsea they now fee with money they can buy any player of their choice. They are said to be doing all this to promote their league.

Money is everything right now. Someone has become profesional football player due to the money. Someone has become a professional football player because of the money and it can't be changed.. Any players in the profesional football clubs were playing football to get paid by the club for their service.
That's why money has become the main power. It's very sad that ziyech cannot pass medical test. That means he will not be coming to the saudi club. His transfer already failed.
It's very bad to see ziyech's transfer failed for two times. The first was with PSG.

From the news Bernardo Silva who wanted to leave Manchester City the reason is he wants to find new challenges and experiences
Some clubs that hear this news are certainly trying to approach it's just that Manchester City can still control it up to 2025 based on his contract
At least 3 clubs try to approach and Al Nassr is one of the highest with the percentage but this is still rumors.

[Docnaster]

It seems De Gea will be the net target for Saudi teams and Al Nasr since his contract with Manchester United is over and they asked him to extend his contract with a lower salary and this player didn't accept that, I think De Gea is not going to stay in Manchester United anymore, Also Manchester United is seeking for another goalkeeper.
It seems Al Nasr wants to hire this player and he is going to work with his old teammate Ronaldo once again.

Manchester United just changed their mind after agreeing to keep De Gea. He has made some blunders in recent times but he is still the best choice of Erik ten Hag. The Spanish goalkeeper is one of the highest-paid players at Manchester United. He earns about  £375,000 a week, which is quite high for any other team to afford. Moving to Al Nassr will be his best choice if he wants to still maintain his high wage.

But it seems he is attracting interest from clubs in Spain. Real Betis and Sevilla are also interested in bringing the Spanish goalkeeper.  If he wants to end his career with a good financial package, the Saudi league will be his best option, but if he still wants to play quality football, moving to his homeland will be better. For now, I think the Spaniard is more concerned about his marriage that will be coming up in Spain.

Despite some of the big blunder that he made in recent years, David De Gea is still one of the best goalkeepers in the world at the moment. He win the golden gloove of the English Premier League last season despite United finishing the season in fourth place.
There's report that he's finally come to terms with the management of the club and would continue as Manchester United's first choice goalkeeper but I think he would've never moved to the Saudi Arabian League had he left United this summer

[shogun47]

From the start of this Saudi Arabian League signing spree of European veterans players , I know a day would come when they'll not just be luring the players that are 30+ but also very young players who still got a lot to achieve in their career.
The Saudi Arabian League wants to be enjoy the same limelight that European leagues are enjoying from all over the world and would definitely do anything within their reach to achieve that aim

But I can't imagine that that will ever happen unless the Saudi Arabian clubs or the owners are really pulling the trigger and keep up that investment for a decade and even raise it further. It is not enough to have good players for three or four years and only the older ones. Then they would have to keep spending those levels for a long time and sign players of all age groups to also cover all interest groups that could follow the league on TV and the Internet. Not everyone likes to watch players who are about to retire anyway. But signing younger players will be even more costly in the long run.

It's not like that, because signing younger players automatically these young players are not yet famous players. But, when they recruit players who are old or at least +29 then of course, these players are already well-known in Europe. Therefore, if they signed younger players, it would be the same as signing players who weren't well-known, and thus not making much of a profit for their event. So yes, the tradition of recruiting well-known players who are of course old will continue, and they will not take the risk of signing high-paid young players, especially when they are not well known.

No, the potential risk that is in the air here for the European leagues is that the clubs from the Saudi Professional League start signing players like Mbappe before they reach the age of 20. This is a serious risk because they don't even have to do the scouting and as soon as a young talent rocks a u19 World Cup or even a first team World Cup, the Saudi clubs can see and listen what other clubs do an what is said in the media. And then clubs like PSG offer him 100 million but the Saudi clubs offer him 300 million and someone like Mbappe ends up playing in the SPL. It would even be understandable if a young guy at that age signs a 300 million contract in Saudi Arabia as there is still a high risk of losing potential income due to injury or other circumstances.

When all the titles in football have been achieved for sure Bernardo Silva wants to relax more in his future and I think the possibility of going to Al-Hilal is very open for him. I think there is no other reason for Bernardo Silva to want to go to a better place than to Al-Hilal and if he goes to Barcelona, of course he will be a pillar where even a salary will be difficult to pay him.

It is possible that Al-Hilal will not hesitate to give a salary of up to 100 million euros per season if you look at his achievements last season in bringing Manchester City to a treble winner. But the possibility that if Bernardo Silva chooses to stay at Manchester City is also very good for his career because he will still be the starting choice for Pep Guardiola next season.

Bernardo Silva was the part of that just recently, to get him you need something more than money, like Man City needs to literally fire him or something, it's literally impossible.

But from the news I read, Bernardo Silva actually wants a new challenge. He already feels he has achieved enough at Man City and he wants another challenge at another club. Even now PSG is also approaching Bernardo Silva. And from the news I've read, Bernardo Silva is also quite interested in the Saudi Arabian club. But I don't know whether the news is true or not. But I think the possibility is still wide open for Al -nassr to bring in B.Silva.

Al-Nassr almost got Hakim Ziyech, unfortunately the player did not pass the medical test and made the transfer fail to proceed even though there was only one step left. and after the failure to bring in Ziyech, now B.Silva is the next target. But the competition to sign Bernardo Silva will not be easy. Apart from that, it is not certain that Man City will let the player go and what's more, there is PSG who also want Bernardo Silva. so Al-Nassr seems like it will indeed be difficult to bring in this one player.

Bernardo silva may reject nassr's offer. Nassr was moving to him caused by silva rumored to leave from manchester city with free agent. he has been also excluded from the future squad from pepe guardiola.
Some teams were approaching him include nasser from saudi. That depends on silva's decision. If he is still wanna playing in european competitions and that will be impossible to get him.

To point out how rare that is, Real Madrid team that won UCL league three times in a row never made treble, you know the famous Ramos, Ronaldo, Modric, Benzema, Bale and so forth awesome team that looked like nobody could ever beat them?

Why did you think if modric and benzema never won treble winners? Didn't you even watch 2021/2022?

Madrid won treble winners UCL, La liga and super spanyol.

The Saudis are spending the most to get the players they want. Their financial compensation is something that most players can hardly reject because it is like the highest, they would have received in the whole of their football career. It would definitely put them in a dilemma as to whether they should not do it for the love of the sports or do it for the money. Will he go where the money is or stay as a free agent? I wouldn't judge him if he leaves for Saudi since he is no longer needed in Manchester City.

Bernando Silva is just 28years of age, a move to Saudia Arabia to make the biggest paycheck in his career will make it easy to predict that he will not play soccer for a very long time and does not care anymore about his career. I support Bernando Silva to join Barcelona or PSG and try to win more titles in his career than just making a move for money when he is not yet 30+ in age. His value increased this season from the contribution he made to Manchester City's success story, if he sign a short contract with another club and play at a high level like he did this season, the Saudis will still come for him with a fee better than what they want to offer now, and by then he would have had some new career titles before retiring to play for money in Saudia Arabia.

The Spain international shot-stopper is now technically a free agent after reaching the end of his contract at Old Trafford. No extension has been agreed despite fresh terms being mooted for some time and the 32-year-old signing off on a reduced salary at one stage.

A small update regarding DDG. Since he has been leaving from MU and he is clubless now. Im happy to see that if al nassr was interesting to sign him as a new player. DDG will able to play together with ronaldo and brozovic.
I will be very glad if DDG will be able to go to the middle easy club and find a new place where he will be respected.

He can be a very useful keeper for al nassr. I can prey if DDG will be going to the al nassr.

Bernardo Silva was the part of that just recently, to get him you need something more than money, like Man City needs to literally fire him or something, it's literally impossible.

At least, the offer for Bernardo Silva to join Al Nassr is always there. or perhaps, Al Nassr has provided City with a profosal. although they are well aware, to bring it to Saudi Arabia will be very difficult to realize. Silva is still 28 years old, he still has a long career with big clubs in the European League. maybe a season or two after that, he will be willing to join a Saudi club. even then, if Al Nassr still offers something that appeals to him.

Well, there is no need for a player to win a treble winner, after all there are other players who clearly refuse to join to play in the Saudi Pro League. for example, Lukaku, he clearly still wants to play in Europe's top competition. not to mention other players, for example, Lewandowski who had said that he had also received an offer from a Saudi club. so, not all players are willing to play in this competition. except, those who are at the end of their career and want to get a high salary. speaking of Bernardo Silva, previously he expressed his desire to leave City. however, until recently, he was still part of the City cast. maybe Silva will stay, or leave for the French giants. another rumour, although I'm not sure if this is true. but it seems that if De Gea is offered a high salary, it seems that it could be an option for him. for sure, Saudi clubs are trying to bring in many of Europe's top players. with the lure of high salary offers.

[el kaka22]

This topic started in January 4th of 2023, so at the start of this year basically and we are in July now. We have 6 months done, and we are above 120 pages already, which means that there has been 20 pages per month, nearly at a level of 0.75 pages per day give or take.

That should be showing you how much this league got popular and when you are wondering why they are overpaying players more than what they are worth, it is 100% definitely not about how good those players are. They do not care about that, they all get someone, that's not the point. The point is that we wrote almost 1 page per day for this league, over half a page at the very least. This is why they spent that money, to be talked about, to be known, and to be followed. They achieved it.

I don't sure with Bernando Silva move to Saudi Pro League team due on 28 years old or golden age, he still priority stay with Manchester City or moving to top European teams like Barcelona or PSG. Actually, Bernando Silva not rumor yet will move to Saudi Pro League teams but most excited if reach agreement for joining with Al Nassr and has reunion with Cristiano Ronaldo because both player as important part for Portugal national teams.

Saudi Pro League could be alternative competition for top European players because they can retiring with fantastic salary receiving if agree play for Saudi Pro League team. Karim Benzema, Nkante and Cristiano Ronaldo have enjoyed with how much salary received when joining with Saudi Pro League teams and impossible due their age can get the same salary when playing with European teams.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Al-Nassr is reportedly interested in bringing in two Chelsea players namely Hakim Ziyech and Aubameyang. It seems that Al-Nassr is not quite satisfied after successfully bringing in Ronaldo last season. Al-Nassr really wants a star-studded squad starting next season and they don't hesitate to shell out huge sums of money to give these European players fantastic wages per season. Currently negotiations are underway according to Fabrizio Romano and we are still waiting for clarity on the offer made by Al-Nassr from salary to how many season contracts for the two Chelsea players.

Apart from that, there are rumors that Al-Ittihad will also sign N'Golo Kanté and if that happens then of course, Al-Ittihad also have a good squad because they already have Benzema in their squad as well. Therefore, of course, Al-Nassr will still find it difficult to win the Saudi Professional League title next season, because the rival teams are also making big strides by recruiting star players. But yes, of course with the signing of these players, the Saudi Professional League can be even more interesting to watch because the teams competing in the title race have famous players.

Kanté to Al-Ittihad is no longer a rumor but a confirmed deal. Besides Kanté, Al-Ittihad has signed another high-profile player who is widely recognized for his excellence both on and off the field. Al-Nassr failed to get any cup wins this season, and are yet to announce any new signings. While their rivals teams recruit star players, now it's very important that Al-Nassr follow them if they want to keep up with the competition next season. Next season the Arab league will be interesting, and we can't wait to see how the things will unfolds.

I like this a lot, seeing these players in Saudi football is because the Saudi strategy is having an effect on them, when we look at the horizon and see that the level of football they show is higher, it could be said that players like Benzema, Modric , Sergio Rmos and others can easily go to this football, because they will pay very well, it will be highly valued there and they will have unique benefits so that they can stay in the country, but CR7, who was the pioneer, will follow him, and despite the fact that he received a lot of criticism when he left, he became an example for many, now this league if the best players go there will be quite a feat, Saudi football is getting good.

The Spain international shot-stopper is now technically a free agent after reaching the end of his contract at Old Trafford. No extension has been agreed despite fresh terms being mooted for some time and the 32-year-old signing off on a reduced salary at one stage.

He can be a very useful keeper for al nassr. I can prey if DDG will be going to the al nassr.

In fact, I think that if it is confirmed that he will go to the CR7 team, it is interesting to see how this player will once again be part of his old teammate, the advantage here is that CR7 knows his abilities, he knows how to adapt quickly, I wonder how is that equipment mess in the MU? What will go through the head of a very confused Ten Hag who couldn't get Harry Kane to come to a MU who needed him so much? Personally, I think that Kane would not have put up with having this player there, if Ten Hag managed to hook him, it is a lie that they could do something for him, for me he has many things that must be healed in the MU, and the best they can is dispense with the services of this character as Ten Hag.

It seems to me that the acquisition of Al-Nassr will be very effective, also the fact that he plays in this Saudi football will give the goalkeeper a new experience and will obviously be more liked by him and by many, this without counting the good amount of money that It will receive, I think that many win here, both the fans of the team and Arabia in general who are making their football grow.

Manchester United send David De Gea message ahead of fresh contract talks

Manchester United have congratulated David De Gea and his new wife Edurne after the pair were married on Saturday.

De Gea became a free agent the night before his wedding after his contract with United expired. The 32-year-old had been in contract talks for some time, with the club wanting to reduce his £375,000-per-week wages, but little progress increased the likelihood of his exit.

Figures at the club are wanting to 'move on' from De Gea after 12 years at Old Trafford, but concerns regarding Financial Fair Play mean talks will resume over a new deal once the Spaniard returns to England.

You have to wait and see how everything develops, many things can be revealed, if you leave or not, things may turn out well or badly for you, but what I am sure of is that if you leave MU now, my congratulations to Al-Nassr for thinking of quality players, this is something I can see , I feel from every point of view as the best thing that can happen to a team , having players at a level in a country so they can learn their technique is Something great , I admire how the Arabs are doing things well, to Increase their level of fútbol, they are really very intelligent.

Now can they sustain it?
It is one thing to get the attention of the world with high profile signings and it is another to become a top league from the current position of the Saudi pro league.

So far I will say they are doing better then the Chinese league and Japanese league did some years back and are making much better signings. If they do keep this up and also prioritize home grown talents and also better their scouting network they will be on the right track.

There were the rumors that they are now going after younger superstars as well. I can't remember who gave the interview but it was about Bernardo Silva and that it is possible that he will leave Manchester City and go to Saudi Arabia and he is 28 years old now. That would already mean a paradigm shift because so far the complaints are limited as it is mostly those old players who are going to retire soon or are prone to physical issues from time to time, but a superstar like Silva would send a strong signal to many other players as well from the perspective of the Saudi Professional League. I think there are many potential transfers in the making and it is not only about the old players.

If that is indeed the case, then it will make me change my mind to some extent. I don't mind if there is another top league, it's the opposite, especially for the players that there is more choice where they can go to play. Besides, if this league is really good football, it will only be a big plus. Regarding Silva, Enrique wants PSG to sign him, if this is really the case and not a rumour, I think the player will prefer Paris.

If the choice is PSG, I think the Saudi League is still worth considering because in Ligue 1 only dominated by PSG and the competition is not too tight
I mean almost the same as the conpetition in this league even this league grew faster, Silva is a young player but entering the old player in the next 2 years, clearly his position can be replaced by new players and younger so he should be able to consider choices.

What every player is thinking about, regardless of age, is the Eurocups. PSG can play in the Champions League, something no Saudi club can do. Moreover, that league will never be able to do so for obvious reasons. I think they need to get their own tournaments which will be seriously fought for and this trophy will be really valuable, but such a project will take a very long time

Manchester United just changed their mind after agreeing to keep De Gea. He has made some blunders in recent times but he is still the best choice of Erik ten Hag.

Moving to Al Nassr will be his best choice if he wants to still maintain his high wage.

But it seems he is attracting interest from clubs in Spain. Real Betis and Sevilla are also interested in bringing the Spanish goalkeeper.  If he wants to end his career with a good financial package, the Saudi league will be his best option, but if he still wants to play quality football, moving to his homeland will be better. For now, I think the Spaniard is more concerned about his marriage that will be coming [/url]][/img]
 I don't feel David De Gea would be likely to move to Saudi with reasons that talks are still ongoing with the Manchester United Club and though withdrew his offer and decided to go for a lower terms, the Premier league gaints are still in talks with the Spanish goalie and hoping to secure a new deal with him after his wedding which is taking place this weekend.

 But left for me i think it's time for the Spaniard to be replaced as the No 1 goalie in Old Trafford, though he had the golden glove in the last campaign, he made errors causing the team to loose the Fa Cup to their rivals (city) and doesn't suit the coaches style of play, from the build up, Erik ten Hag  likes a goalie that's has a good passing ability and launches a from the back when starting an attack of which De gea is weak when it comes to those abilities.

But guess what, the Saudis know that a type of league similar to the Champions League is what all these ambitious superstars want to play, but the Saudi Professional League can't provide them with that much prestige. But what could they do about it? I mentioned it before, the big associations of the different continents are nervous at the moment that the SPL operators and also the Saudi political leadership would support a push towards launching an own type of Super League. That would probably be a question of money only. If the prize pools are so high that clubs can hardly ignore any invitation, I wonder what will happen to the soccer world as it is right now.

That should be showing you how much this league got popular and when you are wondering why they are overpaying players more than what they are worth, it is 100% definitely not about how good those players are. They do not care about that, they all get someone, that's not the point. The point is that we wrote almost 1 page per day for this league, over half a page at the very least. This is why they spent that money, to be talked about, to be known, and to be followed. They achieved it.

Now can they sustain it?
It is one thing to get the attention of the world with high profile signings and it is another to become a top league from the current position of the Saudi pro league.

So far I will say they are doing better then the Chinese league and Japanese league did some years back and are making much better signings. If they do keep this up and also prioritize home grown talents and also better their scouting network they will be on the right track.

For real, it is one thing to get the services of this high profile European players and it's absolutely another thing to sustain it. Take the Chinese League for example. There's was a time they were hugely spending on big European players to get their services  but we stopped hearing about Chinese mega deals after the league management understood that they can't continue to to pay these huge wages.
The Saudi clubs might have learnt from Chinese deals and must have deviced a better meand avoid going bankrupt
