Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Stepstowealth]

Messi knew he didn't want any competition again between home and Ronaldo and he also wanted to just enjoy football plus the deal that MLS brought to the table was too good of a deal to reject and accept SPL money. I am happy Messi went to Miami as him comings to SPL would had taken the attention from the actual progress of the league and focused on just Ronaldo vs Messi debates.  

Ronaldo and Messi will already be tired of that, they will just want to enjoy football in their old age until they retire without having to deal with any unnecessary pressure from the media as they can always create one.

On the other news circulation the media, It's not surprising that FIFA remembered Al Nassr now because they're in the spotlight due to the move of Ronaldo to the club and them been very active in the transfer window signing more European players. Ronaldo impact has both the negative and positive effects. Al Nassr been in debt is also a surprise, maybe they forget because we know money isn't a problem of this clubs in the SPL as you can see them spending millions to get washed out players in their 30`s and paying them life changing salaries.

The owners of the club will need to quickly raise money to settle the debt they owe that has caused them the ban, so they can continue to attract players to their club, because the  ban is to last three transfer windows if they do not act. The club will have a hard time if they cannot get new players especially now when other Saudi clubs without any ban are spending plenty money to bring experienced players to their club.

In general I agree with you, they both have already proved everything they can to everyone, and Leo has collected every possible prestigious trophy for him. In addition, he still signed a contract with Saudi Arabia, though only as a tourist, but in general he did not bypass it. For Ronaldo I think not only that there were no other options, but they pay huge money, I think he will not return to Europe, he will finish his career in the SPL.

Based on the news circulating right now it looks like Al Nassr is getting punished by FIFA, the punishment obtained is not being able to register their new players such as Brozovic and maybe some other new players too. But yes, from one of the sources I got it said that the problem was in the debt that was still not paid off maybe from two years ago. Quite surprising too I think, because as a rich club but Al Nassr is still in debt too and has not been paid off. So yes, of course it would be better for Al Nassr to pay off their debts first because then, they can comfortably recruit star players like their competing teams Al Hilal and Al Ittihad.

Yes, reportedly Al Nassr has not paid a compensation fee to The Foxes or Leicester City for the transfer of Ahmed Musa in the 2016 season. According to sources I also already read, their debt is not large and they should be able to pay off their debt quickly, but somehow they don't pay it. As a club that has successfully recruited Ronaldo, this news is quite confusing for me because their debt is smaller than Ronaldo salary in a weeks.

Its a small amount of money so i think they will fix it really soon. They paid so much money for players and salaries and all that and i think this will be resolved in 1-2 days. Al Nassr looking good but for me arent the main favorites for the title next season.

But the news are interesting, aren't they? Is there more to this or is it really about unsettled debt?

One area that I haven't done my research so far is whether there are any rules or agreements among the clubs playing under the association that is also responsible for the SPL, that some financial fair play rules are accepted or get enforced by an oversight body or whether they can spend whatever they want and how often they want. Does anyone know if there are financial restrictions of any kind?

Al nassr shall pay money to the leicester city first. It's a shame for the club by owe small amounts of money to the leicester city. FIFA has been taking the right decision by banning al nassr from registering the new player.
I also hear a rumor about ronaldo wanna leave from al nassr. I don't know whether this news was true or false. I believe if it's fake news. Al nassr must pay for that as soon as possible. I remember the problem with hakim ziyech.
Nassr claimed that if ziyech cannot pass medical test, while the main reason nassr rejecting him is to join due to the club unable to fill its promises. Al nassr decrease its offer for ziyech's salary.
This club shall not make more mistake. It will be only reuining its reputation as one of the clubs that was able giving very big salary for ronaldo at this moment.

Not sure if we should call it debt this case is related to the transfer of one of the players as mentioned Al Nassr has not paid a transfer fee to Leicester City 14 million , it is quite surprising why Al Nassr did not pay them even though it's almost equivalent to Ronaldo salary of 2 months. I'm sure Al Nassr has a reason why they haven't paid him like there was an unfulfilled agreement or something

[poodle63]

It seems like that there was a personal problem between ronaldo and cuadrado in the past. that's why ronaldo dislike him. I think that it's quite better for al anssr to find replacement for cuadrado. It will be far better rather than bringing conflict into the club that will be destroying the chemistry. I do support ronaldo to avoid it. He is making good decision by telling its club not to sign him as a new player.

But did you know that by doing that Ronaldo acts like a club owner and his friends probably didn't like what he was doing I mean it can trigger jealousy , if indeed Ronaldo has information about Cuadrado should not be known by the public he can meet the club owner in person that way is certainly safer and more comfortable. After Marcelo Brozovic Al Nassr doesn't have new players anymore? wonder why they are not active in the market 

Nothing wrong with it. He is not acting like club's owner. He is just suggesting the club about his opinion regarding cuadrado. It's free for club's player to give suggestion to the club. I remind you that if ronaldo has ever played together with cuadrado. he undertands him more another player in the club.
Nassr needs to fix its problem caused by the club banned by FIFA to register the new player. Nassr owe some money from leicester city. that's why nassr is not so active in the market.

[rendravolt]

Sergej Milinković-Savić has been at Al-Hilal headquarters to sign a contract for 3 years and with this he officially becomes Al-Hilal's player from next season. The fee was announced to be around 40 million euros from Lazio and there is still no information regarding the salary per season, what is certain is that the nominal is very large like Ruben Neves or Kalidou Koulibally.

Increasingly impatient to see the team fight in the saudi league with their star players starting next season and currently the saudi league team seems to never run out of funds to sign some star players. I think we will still be surprised with new recruits especially for Al-Hilal who are currently working hard to make that happen.

[Sithara007]

^^^^ The next season of Saudi Professional League will be a blockbuster one. They are signing so many star players who are currently playing in the European leagues. The contract with Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is worth £34 million, which will work to £17 million per season. And this time Lazio wanted to keep him at any cost, but in the end they could not compete with the Saudi Arabian money power. His current salary at Lazio is just around £3,900,000 per year, so that means that he will be getting more than 4x increase from Al Hilal.

This for Al Nassr is very small and they can afford it. Because this sanction becomes serious if Al Nassr does not fix it, the penalty for banning the registration of new players by FIFA is very detrimental to Al Nassr himself.

And it's ridiculous that a club capable of signing a superstar like CR7 has failed to comply with FIFA's decision and has been subject to a registration ban. This applies to both domestic and international transfers which means star players from abroad cannot be registered at this time. On the other hand this FIFA Ruling also includes a ban for three registration periods on the transfer market. If Leicester still do not have the compensation due by the end of their ban then the Al Nassr matter will be referred to FIFA's disciplinary committee.

We already know this season's transfer market, Al Nassr has bought the player Marcelo Brozovic from Inter Milan. But now, with the sanctions from FIFA, Brozovic's fate is unclear. CR7 is also unlikely to be able to realize his hopes of having a stronger team to compete for the title next season.

It's not even up to 1 million Euros so it shouldn't be a problem to pay for it, it's just a shame that clubs like Al Nassr are playing with only that money and a warning has been given by FIFA in 2021 even before they brought in Cristiano Ronaldo to be banned by FIFA, so I think the sanctions will it was still implemented even though they immediately paid the funds, and the negligence by not paying Leicester was carried out by the old management because Al Nassr had undergone a change in ownership so it was not the fault of the Public Investment Fund's which were the owners of the new club.

The Saudi Arabian pro league was nothing compared to European football until now, they started to make impressive signings. When it comes to paying big sums for players, Saudi clubs are untouchable; they always get the best alternatives. They always remain willing to make substantial proposals for players, and European clubs have no match against these clubs. Saudi clubs are coming forth key players, and we are expecting an entirely different league. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is a quality player, and after Lazio failed to sign him, he most likely triggered his departure to a club that valued his career.

It is known that in the transfer contract of Ahmed Musa from Leicester City to Al Nassr, there is a clause that allows the seller to receive more money from the buyer if Ahmed Musa scores enough goals to activate the extra clause. During his time with Al Nassr, Musa has consistently scored for the Saudi Arabian club, thereby qualifying for an additional payout. But in the past 3 years, Saudi Arabia has always kept quiet despite being urged many times by Leicester. This is quite surprising because this amount is too small for them, and Al Nassr will be banned by FIFA from registering new players.
Great-grandson Al Nassr will quickly repay his debt and hope the ban will be lifted by FIFA soon. With a heavy penalty, they will not be able to use expensive rookie Marcelo Brozovic.

Al Hilal is already having an impressive roster. Apart from Kalidou Koulibaly and Rúben Neves, they have local star Nasser Al-Dawsari. And then there is André Carrillo and Moussa Marega. Addition of Sergej Milinković-Savić will further strengthen their squad. And let's not forget the fact that Al-Hilal finished at the 3rd place in this year's Saudi Professional League. They were far behind the champions Al-Ittihad, but Al Hilal had an impressive run this time with 17 wins from a total of 30 matches. They lost just 5 matches and had a goal difference of +25.

I think that anyone was missing this. It's quite surprised me to see liverpool's captain potentially accepts saudi's offer. The goal has reported this. https://www.goal.com/en/news/live/liverpool-transfers-and-rumours-today/blte0cb9f2b78efa42a

According to The Athletic, Jordan Henderson is considering ending his 12-year Liverpool career and accepting a lucrative offer from Steven Gerrard’s new club in Saudi Arabia, Al-Ettifaq.
The Saudi Arabian club are making a concerted effort to sign the Liverpool skipper, who was initially hesitant to leave Anfield and relocate to the Middle East with his family. The 33-year-old, however, is now weighing up a two-year contract that would double his £200,000-a-week Liverpool salary and also includes the option of a third year.

I can accept if henderson gonna be leaving from liverpool caused by saudi's offer is very interesting to be taken. Henderson was seemingly very close to the ittihaq. He will be coached by gerrard if henderson will agree to join in saudi club.
It's very hard to deny such offer. As a player that was putting money as main orientation. Im thinking about he gonna try to make personal agreement with ettifaq as soon as possible.
Im waiting for good news that is gonna come from him. However, the chance for him to stay in liverpool is still bigger too. Henderson is not young anymore. He shall consider it as a good option for his career.
He plays football for money. It's time for him to chase it.

Hmm i don't want to sound to rude but the Saudi Professional League will always be a circus show without any sportive value. It is the same now as the Major League Soccer in the United States. Very big and popular players with a huge reputation that are already way past their prime will go there at the end of their career to make some huge bank for the last time.
Sometimes even players in their prime are going to such a league because they simply can not resist the big salaries that are paid there. That being said, i don't know of any Tier 1 club in Europe (like ManCity, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich) that was interested in signing Milinkovic-Savic. If that would be the case then he would have stayed in Europe too i am sure.

Jordan Henderson as an Englishman and also the club captain of a big club like Liverpool would definitely find it difficult to leave the English Premier League club and join a Saudi Arabian League despite the fact that his playing career is dwindling down
If he could ever consider moving to SPL, it'll definitely happen because of influence of current Al-Ettifaq's manager Stephen Gerrard. The transfer window isn't yet over so this might be one the surprise moves of the summer

[Sithara007]

^^^ OK.. so Jordan Henderson is the next big signing. I just hope that Saudis are planning this for the long term. If they sign all these top players and then refuse to renew their contract after 2 years, then it won't be in good taste. BTW, Liverpool is reportedly demanding around £17 million to release Henderson (his current salary is around £7,280,000 per year). So Al Ettifaq need to reach a deal with them as well. So it is going to be a tough three-way negotiation between Al Ettifaq guys, Henderson and Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool manager).

[asriloni]

Saudi club is not stopping in recruiting the player from liverpool. After henderson already received a huge offer from saudi club and there is a latest news about one more liverpool's player being approached by saudi club.
Fabinho has become the new player that will be recruited by saudi club.

Al Ittihad are set to approach Liverpool with a concrete offer to buy Fabinho.The Saudi Pro League club’s bid for the Brazilian international, 29, is expected to be worth £40million and it is anticipated a decision will move quickly one way or the other. Liverpool’s main opposition to any move would be letting their starting No 6 leave without a replacement.

The athletic reported if fabinho already offered by saudi club. The saudi club al ittihad is trying so hard to get him. I think that there will be another player to be approached by saudi club.
The saudi clubs are so crazy by trying to signing a lot of players from liverpool. So far, either of fabinho or henderson have not decided his future in liverpool. Saudi club's offer looks so big to be missed by them caused by they will be able to get a lot of money compared to when they are working in liverpool.
Klopp will not let saudi clubs are raiding the club.
