Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Zlantann]

Ronaldo's impact was so big but we must also try to remember how much money spent by saudi clubs to get him. Al nassr has paid him with lots of money. His salary has ever broken the new record as the highest paid player in the world.
That's very sad to see how messi rejected an offer from saudi pro league caused by he can surpass the salary received by ronaldo. Im thinking about they will be trying to sign more great players in upcoming months.
I have expected all of them to get more. Several names have been linked to the saudi pro league like modric or even partey but no confirmation so far but modric seems interested to join in the saudi pro league.
Im waiting for him to go to the saudi pro league as soon as possible. Having Modric in SPL is good.

Luka Modric rejected a lucrative contract from Saudi Arabia that was worth £120 million a season because he felt that he still could play in one of Europe's biggest clubs. He signed a one-year contract extension with Real Madrid because he thought that he would still get more play and contribute to the success of the club. But his prediction was wrong because Jude Bellingham is now the focal point of the club's midfield and attack. It seems now that the Croatian international will only get the opportunity to play when the English young star is not available.
For now, there is no information about him leaving in January because Real's general director Jose Angel Sanchez said that the club has not had any current interaction with any club in the Saudi Pro League regarding Modric's transfer. So basically he might end the current season with Madrid and his future will be determined after his expires. For now, the midfield maestro will be focusing on winning maybe his last trophies in the European league. However, bringing Modric to the Saudi League will be a plus because he would bring a lot of experience to the League.

There's buzz that Luka Modric might head to Saudi Arabia once his contract with Real Madrid wraps up next season. The change in scenarios is due to his lack of playing time. Although he's currently contemplating staying in Europe, the idea of him moving to Saudi Arabia is quite possible. Madrid is heading towards younger players, and it's time for him to pass the torch. With Jude Bellingham rising in Madrid, Modric's game time at the Spanish club has become pretty limited. There's a significant demand for Modric to make the move to Saudi Arabia, especially considering he's achieved everything in Europe. It's hoped that Luka is ready to take on the challenge in Saudi Arabia in 2024.

Ronaldo's initial contract was signed sometime in mid-2022, and I guess it runs till the beginning of 2025? But then a few weeks back there were reports that he was seeking to extend the contract till 2027. Al Nassr is so far happy with his performance (although there was some hesitancy after he struggled in the initial few matches last year). And apart from this, the management in Saudi Professional League are also happy, as they have noticed the sharp increase in global audience as a result of Ronaldo's entry. Now a lot of heavyweights have joined the Saudi Professional League, such as Benzema, Mitrović, Mané and N'Golo Kanté. But then it was Ronaldo who started all of this in 2022.   

It seems Ronaldo said that he was going to end his career at Al-Nassr, so it is logical that he wants to extend his contract with the club. Although his self-confidence is noteworthy: in 2027 he will be 42 years old  Given the pace at which the Saudi League is developing, it can be assumed that by then the level of competition will be much higher than now, so the desire to play at the top level at 42 years old deserves respect.

All the speculation about his future and that he is very close to the Saudi pro league could be wrong because when his contract at Real Madrid ends next year he will only be a few months away from 39 years old, is it possible that he will be able to play full time at that age? It's possible, but if he can't fulfill the club's expectations, it will certainly tarnish his brilliant career so far in Europe, so the chance of him going to the Saudi pro league is there, but the chance of him announcing his retirement is also there.
The money offered by clubs from the SPL is indeed tempting, but not all players have the same thoughts in always considering money and we still have to wait several months before we can finally see what decision Luca Modric will take for his future, and of course he is the one who knows best.

Although the player's Performance has not been adequate , you can see that the Adaptation is not easy, we have always seen that things are pretty good when it comes to making his football better, that's why when we watch Saudi football Many may say that it is easy, that it is not the same performance as in Europe, that in Saudi football it must fly because it is not Europe and the players are not at the level, and that is what many may think, but it is very different to play. there, with the conditions there and that they compare with playing a match, it is not the same, the level may look different, but Saudi football has its good level and can be seen as one of the best things for any player to benefit from, The one who welcomed these players was CR7, even though he has Reached his good level here and it can be demonstrated because in his national team they are winning everything and he is the pro-proteganist, so this football has not done badly, quite the opposite , has Maintained its level , perhaps has Increased it.

I play something, he plays soccer , he plays anywhere, here, there, wherever and he does it well, these things are what we can always see so that a player develops to the maximum, so in this order of ideas we We are people who can see and make a difference by establishing that no matter the level of local football where you play, talent and work is what always stands out, that is why CR7 does well, Messi does too, in fact Messi lost with his team. championship, did not qualify for one of the most important tournaments for Inter Miami , even though things did not go well in the World Cup qualifiers with Uruguay, thanks to Messi they are still at the top of the standings, and this is already It means a lot, because Messi's Intervention is unique and necessary for the Argentina team, where he would have lost level if he had not played there, but the same goes for Bernzema, he just has to adapt, sometimes it takes a long time.

There's been comparison of the Saudi league to European leagues. Truth is, Saudi league are of great benefits to the players, in terms of finance. Well often times, it's termed as a retirement league, but it shouldn't be underrated, SPL is competitive in its nature, there are clubs in it that makes games tough, the likes of Al Hilal without even mentioning Al Nassr. Just take a time out to monitor the weekly game results and check the stats too.

 Well if not that they're not in the European umbrella, them being a part of the Champions league would make the contest more fierce and different to some extent, players are likely not to have difficulty trying to blend in and adapt to the system, we've seen situations where players that went their are doing exceedingly well for the clubs and even securing wins, so in my opinion I'd say it shouldn't be condemned, on a normal ground, SPL can match European Leagues too.

Ronaldo signed a 2 and a half year contract with Al Nassr Club in Saudi Arabia. I know that Ronaldo came here to promote football in Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo came here to develop not only football but also to promote this sport to the younger generation, young men and women. Indeed, just half a year after Al Nassr recruited superstar Ronaldo, The Saudi Pro League national championship witnessed the entry of players from top European leagues.

I completely agree with your opinion. Saudi Arabian clubs need to immediately recruit good coaches. Only then can their tournament be able to compete with major European games. Their matches have yet to impress the fans.

The signing of Cristiano Ronaldo to the Saudi Pro League have developed the entire football settings of Saudi Arabia, they can confidently sign European players over and over again without having to bother about anything. SPL is transforming into a new age and they will continue to shoot higher with the clear vision noticed. Cristiano Ronaldo position in Al Nassr club is irreplaceable because he's more than two players join together. He's very agile as if he's in his early 20s but in late 30s and still capable of doing the incredible things that are unbelievable in football.

Ronaldo brought SPL to the lime light after he was signed, because it made other European players to see reason why they should move down to SPL and make the competition there very high compare to the way it was before the signing of Ronaldo. Ronaldo is an outstanding player and in any club that he is playing for, he always add an impact to the club positively and that is what makes him to be a great player.

The Saudis knew the potential of Ronaldo and that he can be used to bring the world to SPL and SPL to the world which was what they were looking for and now they have the opportunity to buy any player that they want that accepts to move over to the league, because it is not that the league is not recognize but it has become popular die to the caliber of players that are playing in the league. I believe that as time passes on SPL will be more interesting with high competition.

[rendravolt]

There are similarities between the results achieved by Al-Ettifaq and Al-Ittihad in the last 5 matches and both have 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses. But indeed in the standings Al-Ittihad is slightly ahead with a difference of 2 points. This week will be a testament to the two teams which contain great European players and will also provide exciting matches like the clubs in Europe's top leagues.

Al-Ettifaq will definitely take advantage of home advantage and of course they know that currently Al-Ittihad has started to lose its consistency. However, their new coach, Marcelo Gaardo, will have a big responsibility in his debut with Al-Ittihad.

Nobody saw any reason and Ronaldo never brought the Saudi Professional League to any limit... Every player in the world would have signed the contract that Ronaldo signed. This has nothing to do with Ronaldo and whether he convinced others to play in the desert or on another planet. If the salary is ridiculous enough, players will go there. The popularity means maybe 5% to the players when they make their decision. But players would go everywhere even when they know that not a single person would switch on the TV as long as the contract makes them rich.

Obviously, that 2-point gap is a close difference but despite that, Al Ittihad is still the favored team to win in this match. Although yes, the reality is that Al Ittihad is also experiencing a decline in performance this moment and yes, their new coach also does not have a definite guarantee to be able to provide good results for Al Ittihad in this match. But somehow, based on the odds available at this moment, the truth is that Al Itthiad is still very much a favorite to win, while Al Ettifaq also basically has a good squad and also Al Ettifaq will play at home. But indeed, if we consider their head to head record, that Al Ittihad has better results. But at this moment, I think that factor also does not fully promise a good result for Al Ittihad in the away match against Al Ettifaq later.

The decision to sign many football veterans from the  European scene I think can never be a long term plan to improve the quality of football in the Saudi League because most of these players barely have few more years to play professional football before retiring from the the beautiful round leather game. But I think the Saudi League is signing these players for another reason and that's to get global audience and popularity. At the moment, I think they've gotten what they really want when it comes to advertising the league to the world because at the moment, almost every part of the world now discusses about the Saudi League thanks the the presence of football superstars in the league.
Now that they've gotten what they want in terms of global recognition, I think it's now high time they start developing young talents in the country in other to remain popular in world football.

Of course, the Saudi clubs are actually trying to get older players into the club so that the overall popularity of the Saudi league actually increases. And they have been very successful in doing so. A few months ago, a lot of people didn't even know that a league like this existed. And now everyone is talking about Al Nassr and some other clubs. They have definitely increased their popularity. And now the next move should be to increase the quality. It is going to take time. But I believe it will happen. And if they actually can get themselves into the European competition, the improvement is actually going to happen pretty quickly.

However, bringing Modric to the Saudi League will be a plus because he would bring a lot of experience to the League.

I feel like it is not just about feeling like he still has some talent left to play in Real Madrid, it is 120 million we are talking about. I mean do you really think that Benzema would be fired if he didn't leave? Benzema could have played at Real Madrid for at least 2 more years, maybe more, if he stayed but he was offered 100+ million too and because of that he left, when a player is offered 100+ million a year, for multiple year contracts, the only reason to reject would be not being sure you would be getting paid, and we know they do.

So Modric just doesn't want to play there, that's the only reason, and that's understandable, culturally Saudis are very different from Europe, and that may make some Europeans not want to play there, it is fully understandable situation.

Ettifaq and ittihad were performing so badly in the last matches. I find it challenging to determine which club has a better probability of winning the game. Al ittihad looks a bit favorite compared with ettiefaq but the result is still remain unpredictable. I would like to pick ittihad in this match but the internal problem in that club is still doubting me at this moment. I will probably pick double chance for this. Three points are really important thing for these clubs. The perennially poor performance of Ettifaq raises doubts, but perhaps this time they will surprise us with a different approach against Ittihad.

Al-Ettifaq will definitely take advantage of home advantage and of course they know that currently Al-Ittihad has started to lose its consistency. However, their new coach, Marcelo Gaardo, will have a big responsibility in his debut with Al-Ittihad.

I think that playing at home doesn't matter a lot in this match. Ittihad is also having strong mentality when it was playing away.

Ronaldo's impact was so big but we must also try to remember how much money spent by saudi clubs to get him. Al nassr has paid him with lots of money. His salary has ever broken the new record as the highest paid player in the world.
That's very sad to see how messi rejected an offer from saudi pro league caused by he can surpass the salary received by ronaldo. Im thinking about they will be trying to sign more great players in upcoming months.
I have expected all of them to get more. Several names have been linked to the saudi pro league like modric or even partey but no confirmation so far but modric seems interested to join in the saudi pro league.
Im waiting for him to go to the saudi pro league as soon as possible. Having Modric in SPL is good.

If Luka Modric wanted to join the Saudi teams to earn more money and they retired there, he could do that even in the last season when he got good offers, but instead of accepting these offers, he rejected the offers and tried to stay in Real Madrid for a longer time.
I think even in this season, Modric won't join the Saudi teams and he will get retired in his team.

The good news is that we will see Ronaldo and Messi meet again in a friendly match and it will be scheduled in February.

How not these star players will meet in one field with different clubs not in European matches anymore but Al Nassr vs Inter Miami which will be held in Riyadh as a season cup.

Obviously this is really interesting and seeing the ability of both of them again, statistically of course Al Nassr is superior to Inter Miami, it's interesting to wait.

The Saudis visionized the benefit of Ronaldo in their league and ever since his arrival he's helped the league to be a focus for fans too, he was the first international signing for the league and other players have been seeing reasons why SPL should be considered in their next transfers.

 The league itself are eager to expand more as they have eyes on quality stats all around Europe, Ronaldo made wave at his first game in the league and he's been doing exceedingly well. Al Nassr recorded a huge increase in the normal of views they have on their social media handles at the instant his signing was complete.

 No doubt, there's what they call "the Ronaldo effect", Ronaldo a world star helped SPL grow in recognition and SPL are playing their part in ensuring that they keep that track of recognition and focus, and with they way they're going if they finally succeed in getting into the UCL like the rumours claim, they could become better than some European leagues.

 The Saudi Arabia league was the best one for the football players,because it was supported by the government of Saudi Arabia.So the Saudi Arabia was not worry for the funds shortage to requite and football players to their team.The Saudi Arabia Club had employee the many football players who had huge experience but at the age of the retirement and Saudi Arabia league was giving the settlement deal to the football players by making the contract with them at their last years in the football.The Saudi Arabia league had employee the world famous Mbappe and Ronaldo in the two big team was the unique stand of the Saudi Arabia clubs.

Honestly, I don't understand what you mean by this post. Really I didn't get the essence of what you said, forgive me for that. However, if you talk about funds for the needs of the players who compete in this league. It's very clear isn't it, I said it in the post above. that there were four clubs that were acquired by the PIF which is under the auspices of Prince Mohammed bin Salman and who is also the leader of the Saudi work. that way, they will not lack funds to bring in any player they are after. However, for what purpose, let's try to think broadly and look at it from all sides. Of course, they have a big project in bringing in top European players, especially those aged 30+. Not only that, PIF does not only operate in the sport of football. Yep, referring to several sources I read.

But to be honest, I don't understand that the Saudi Pro League is the best league for football players. which football player do you mean, who plays in this competition? if so, absolutely yes. moreover, for former top European players who are paid fantastic salaries. one more thing, Mbappe plays with PSG and not for the Saudi Pro League.

Regardless of what we are going to see from the performance of these two teams, I think buying Messi and Ronaldo had many financial benefits for these two teams.
After Ronaldo joined Al Nassr they could use this popularity and have better marketing power, also this game will have good financial benefits for both teams since many people from all over the world will watch this match.

[TelolettOm]

If talk about when you were young like Ronaldo, when he was the same age as Haaland, he could have become topic of conversation throughout the world among football fans, Ronaldo greatness even showed new football fans or fans who started to appear to idolize him.
All of this happened because Ronaldo had become great player and when he was with Manchester United it was clear that Ronaldo had career and achievements that were much better than all the Manchester United players at that time.
Now he is playing in the SPL and has brought big changes to the SPL especially for Al Nassr, the team he plays for.

Yes, he started his professional career in Sporting but he became popular in Man United. He is getting popular in Man United after he was selected as the successor of number 7 left by David Beckham. From this, we know him as CR7, then became an idol player at Man United. He won almost all trophies with Man United, he was a really sensational player at a young age. But before he moved to SPL, he got his best era at Real Madrid. He ever joined Juventus and Man United, too. Now, in SPL, he also created another great individual record, too.  

Yes, these two players are both players in the attacking line, but you can see that the difference between the two is quite significant.
Maybe those football fans who haven't seen Ronaldo development since he first joined European football team will never know all this.

Sure, they are different type of attackers.
That's why I assume they cannot be compared.

Anyway, people who don't know Ronaldo well, very possible to assume Haaland is better. Those people may just know football recently.

I just came across a post on social media claiming to have come from the official page of Inter Miami disassociating themself from the friendly match. They said the owner of the team have not publicly or privately made a statement concerning that, so they’re not going to be playing any friendly match- Riyadh Season cup which is just within three teams; Inter Miami, Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal. They said it was inaccurate and are not participating in the competition.

They said it was inaccurate and are not participating in the competition.

There is some confusion related to this. Initially Inter Miami CF put up a statement claiming that the claim is false, but after a few hours the statement was deleted from their website. They claim that the club is yet to finalize the 2024 preseason schedule, but some informal talks maybe going on. Anyway, it looks as if Saudis are still pursuing Lionel Messi, after the failed attempt to get him play for one of the Saudi Arabian clubs. These two players - Messi and Kylian Mbappé were their prized targets and they still can't accept the fact that they were unable to get them onboard.
