Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Leviathan.007]

Al Hilal bought Neymar and made the transfer of the year. PSG will be paid 80 million Euro, while Neymar signed a 2-year contract at 150 million Euro per year. Never before in the history of sports has an athlete made so much money in one year.
In addition, although it's not talked about much, Malcom which Al Hilal transferred last month, started the season like a storm. Malcom scored a hat-trick from his first game. It looks like Al Hilal will take out the 60 million Euro they have given. Al Hilal is currently the most important of the championship favorites this season.

Neymar was not the only goal and Al Hilal is trying to even hire more players from Paris, Al Hilal wanted to hire Marco Verratti days ago and they even sent him an official offer to have Marco Verratti in the next season but it seems after Neymar joining the Saudi League, this Italian player is even closer to sign a contract with Al Hilal.

The captain of the Brazil National Football Team is now in Arabia. Like Ronaldo, Benzema, Mane and others. Europe needs to find a solution to this situation. But the fact that some of the star players go to Arabia does not kill football in Europe. First of all, China made the attempts of this situation, it did not happen. Football is a culture, a color and a story. Not all of these features are available in Arabia. I'm sorry but the culture of Arabia is not suitable for football.

Capitalist order and capital no longer go to buy luxury, it brings it to itself. Neymar who signed a contract that exceeds 300 million Euros in two years is criticized by people but no one has to condition himself on anything. New stars continue to be added to the Arabian football show business.

I think it's a bit exaggerated to worry about the phenomenon of top European players moving to the Saudi Pro League in fact those who move to this League are players who are called old players I mean the average age is 27-33 years and in fact most of them are at the end of their career towards retirement. On the other hand, young players like Mbappe have rejected offers from the Saudi League meaning he is prioritizing his career in Europe and ignore money for a while, so this is one of the reasons why European clubs no need to worry. On the other hand, I think moving old players will open up opportunities for young players to take their place without need to compete.

Moreover, there is no guarantee that the Saudi Pro League will continue to do so throughout the year we are sure they must have a certain target and when the target is reached then everything will back to normal you already know the Chinese League is a real example they've only run the program in a few years meaning the Saudi League could do the same, I estimate this phenomenon will last up to 5-10 years depending on their target.

Now we can enjoy the Arab League matches that are getting tougher, they keep bringing in European players non-stop. An interesting league treat now.

Saudi is able to shell out huge amount of money to attract the star players and the European leagues are not happy with the current situation. The Saudi leagues are not that competitive considering other established leagues in Europe or England and the only reason they were able to attract huge followers is because they were able to sign players who had massive fan following and they are continuing that process and it will help them in establishing them as one of the promising leagues.

Most likely Al Hilal will bring in Verratti after previously Al Hilal got Neymar. So the presence of Neymar at Al Hilal will make Verratti accept an offer from Al Hilal. However Al hilal so far wants PSG to accept their third bid for Verratti's transfer as the previous offer was rejected by psg as too cheap than they wanted.

So, if the third offer from Al Hilal is close to the price PSG wants, it is very likely that Verratti will be on the same team as Neymar this season. If these two players officially join, of course both of them can have a tremendous influence with their quality and experience to bring Al Hilal to compete in the title race this season.

After the game between Al Nasr and Al Ettifaq which ended up with a 1-2 result and Al Ettifaq winning this hard game against Al Nasr and the superstars they have, Gerrard the famous coach of Al Ettifaq said he didn't join the Saudi League because he had no offers from other teams, he had some offers and the reason for him to join Al Ettifaq was that he thinks Saudi League was better for him.

In the end Neymar officially parted ways with PSG in this transfer window even though in the previous season he signed a contract extension with PSG but he had to end it early because he was no longer accepted by PSG fans. Apart from that this is a pretty good recruitment made by Al Hilal in this transfer market so as to provide additional strength which is quite impressive for their front line this season.

Saudi clubs are spending a lot of money to attract big players. Targeting those with a large fan-following and paying huge sums, Saudi clubs have gained worldwide recognition. Offering so much money that other clubs are offering twice as much money to players as European clubs. Neymar's last season was a good one as he was forced to sit out months after being injured once during his time at the PSG club. But he will not suffer any injuries when he comes to Saudi clubs. I think it's good enough to join Al Hilal club because I hope to give something good to Al Hilal club this season.

Previously Benzema joined Al Ittihad and now Neymar joined Al Hilal so the world's top stars went to saudi arabia this season. I think this is quite a terrible investment made in the last two seasons by the saudi arabia league because they really want to attract all football fans to see their games. A rapid progress and I hope to last a long time.

This is not going to be surprising for me at all when I see Saudi teams and especially the famous Saudi teams like Al Nasr and Al Hilal buying even more famous players in Europe because the Saudis are still trying to make their league better than this and in the race between the top teams in this Arabian league, they can't get back and stop negotiation with the European teams to hire more players.

They can sign Veratti as well as any other player. There is a big power in Saudi Arabian teams right now: money. They may overpay the salary. FIFA can't do anything against their power. Since they do not have any financial problems, they transfer every player. The next player could be Veratti.

I don't think Verratti is the only player they're in search of, Al-Hilal are on the verge of creating a very tougher team that would challenge their arch rival Al-Nassr so they're still in search of possible European footballers that would strengthen their team and they solely depend on their financial strength to help convince this players to join their team since the league is not affected by any financial fair play rules.
 According to the news Al-Hilal have regenerated their Interest of signing the fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic and they've started another negotiations with a new offer for the player, and it is said that they're planning on getting the deal done this week and make Mitrovic their top striker, if they succeed in getting Mitrovic it's going to create a very strong attacking force for them and their only hope would be the player convinced by the offer or Fulham willing to let go of their top 9

The way the Saudi Pro League is contacting players from the biggest football clubs in the world, the SPL will soon become one of the top most favorite football clubs. The SPL has already bought many players from popular clubs including Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Sadio Mane, Neymar Jr., Malcom, Mitrovic, Bono, Verratti and many more. If such popular players of Saudi Pro League are bought at a high price rate, then the popularity of other popular football clubs will decrease day by day, and on the other hand, the followers and popularity of Saudi Pro League are increasing day by day, which has become a matter of concern for LALIGA, EPL, Italian clubs.

This is not going to be surprising for me at all when I see Saudi teams and especially the famous Saudi teams like Al Nasr and Al Hilal buying even more famous players in Europe because the Saudis are still trying to make their league better than this and in the race between the top teams in this Arabian league, they can't get back and stop negotiation with the European teams to hire more players.

The league itself is their secondary concern. Their preliminary aim is to host the FIFA World Cup in 2030. Their ego was hurt, after arch rivals Qatar managed to host the tournament before them and used that opportunity to showoff petrodollar wealth. One of the reasons why they are splurging money to purchase all these star players is that they can use at least some of them during the bidding process. It is confirmed that Ronaldo will be leading their 2030 hosting bid, but it needs to be seen which of the other players will join.

What makes European clubs feel a little disturbed is how the money arab clubs have is enough to affect the transfer market, you can see how the big clubs in Europe have to spend huge amounts of money when they want to buy a player even when the player has not shown any achievements just because the club feels they have the potential to become stars but the price is unreasonable, especially clubs in Europe must comply with Financial Fair Play rules so no matter how much money they have they cannot use it carelessly, it's different from the Saudi Pro League that's why you see how Al Hilal offering an outrageous price for just one season for a Mbappe.
But I think this is only temporary and slowly they will stop all this wasteful activity, and the players they buy are dominated by players who are likely to only be able to play for a few seasons, no more than 5 seasons, in my opinion not because of a short contract but because the age of the player is no longer likely to display impressive results in the long term as it is now entering old age.

[bering]

Merih Demiral has officially to joined Al Ahli and it says he has agree moved from Atalanta with 20 millions transfer fee and Al Ahli giving Demiral 3 years contract duration and for the salary he will earn 11 millions per year
However Demiral was inlcuding into Atalanta sell lists because previously he has bad relationship with Gian Piero Gasperini so that's why Demiral will not into Gasperini plan for this season and before this transfer happened Demiral was linked to several Serie A teams such as Inter Milan and Juventus even Inter Milan has bid for him but indeed Inter has refuse to pay according to his release clause so that's why this transfer didn't happend

SPL will become one of the most distinguished leagues in football; it's only a matter of time before everything falls into place. I'm expecting great things from these clubs that are active in the transfer market and bringing in big stars. In terms of signing European players, Al Nassr and Al Hilal are the frontrunners. This season, they are the dominant rivals, with an extensive amount of match action to be witnessed from both clubs. The Saudi pro league is all about signing good players; they have the required options and are ready to make things happen. This season, the league is becoming more popular.

My concern is regarding the imbalance between different teams in the Saudi Professional League. The four teams that are supported by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (Al Nassr, Al Ahli, Al Hilal and Al-Ittihad) can hire anyone they want, while the remaining 12 teams are forced to rely on local Saudi Arabian players. And this results in serious imbalance when the clubs play against each other. Most of the matches will be one sided. Some investment also needs to be given to the other clubs, so they can remain competitive.

So this season Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr certainly have to fight harder. Because not only Al-Hilal but now Al-Ettifaq have also proven the strength of their club after defeating Al-Nassr yesterday.

Now we can enjoy the Arab League matches that are getting tougher, they keep bringing in European players non-stop. An interesting league treat now.

Al-Ettifaq beat Al Nassr because their important players were absent (Ronaldo and Talisca) Mane was alone in the front line well of course this is a little difficult for him.

It seems that Al-Hilal is indeed the most aggressive in the current transfer market. I imagine if Al-Hilal's 11 core players would later be the majority of Europe's top players, it would be very interesting. last season I missed a lot of matches played by Al-Hilal. Because my focus last season was only on Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr. But now it seems I have to focus on the 5 clubs that bought the most European players in the current transfer market, namely Al-Ahli, Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad and Dan Al-Ettifaq. I think this SPL season will not be boring. But seeing Al-Nassr lose points in the first game in my opinion is something that is very regrettable. Because like it or not, Al-Nassr has to be 3 points behind from the clubs that managed to win in the first match of the SPL. Sadio Mane played well. But without the support of other great players on the front lines, it still makes him overwhelmed.

@BRINIRHA I agree with your assessment that this league is getting more competitive and in coming year’s it wouldn’t surprise me if it surpassed the popularity of premier league or the La Liga too. Furthermore Mane did well on his debut by scoring a goal for his team but he was let down by the goal keeper’s errors and I’m also happy to see that Gerrard got a win on his debut as the new manager of Al Ettifaq.

In my country right now, more and more are selling and wearing jersey from Arab league clubs. Which indicates that the SPL is indeed increasingly popular at this time.

Well, about Steven Gerrard, I am also quite happy to see his success in bringing the team he coached to get their first win in the SPL. And what I think about Al-Ettifaq is that this club under Steven Gerrard will definitely be a club that reminds me of Liverpool. Steven Gerrard is a former captain at Liverpool and currently he is a coach at Al-Ettifaq and coincidentally the position of captain at Al-Ettifaq is now held by Jordan Henderson who is also a former Liverpool captain. So that in al-Ettifaq there are two former Liverpool captains. Well this is a pretty funny coincidence.

But it is possible that other investors will come to the Saudi League and take over one of the teams like Al Ettifaq they are not part of the Public Investment Fund but they managed to bring in Europe coach and players we don't know where their funding sources came from what is clear is that they do the same thing as the other 4 teams and who knows other teams will get an investor in the following season whether it is from outside or from inside the Saudi.

Tomorrow Damac vs Al-Riyadh in Saudi Professional League these two teams will come to the field to play. Al-Riyadh is at number 7 in the points table between the two teams. Damac is now at number 13 in the points table. So it is thought that Al-Riyadh is better in this match will play. Al-Riyadh team won 3 out of last 5 matches and lost 1 match and drew 1 match. On the other hand Damac won 1 match out of last 5 matches and lost 3 matches and drew 1 match.I hope Al-Riyadh team will win this match.
