Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[shogun47]

While scrolling through the newsfeed, a news suddenly came in front of me that it is said that Al Hilal is going to cancel the contract with Neymar and the Saudi club will sign another player in place of Neymar. I don't know how true this news is, but I have come across such a news, so I shared this news in the forum. If anyone knows any accurate news about this then definitely share. When Neymar was sidelined for a whole season due to injury, I saw that Al Hilal players were talking about Neymar's side, so why is the club suddenly taking such a decision?

That might be just speculation and rumors.

I think Neymar has attracted a lot of attention to the league, but I guess it all depends on how much they feel it was worth paying for him.

Maybe they now are not so sure about it. Maybe they wanted to use him to attract other players and that didn't happen?

That's not right to say Neymar was useful because he attracted attention to the Saudi League. I think Neymar was a failure for Al Hilal and if they wanted to attract some attention they had Ronaldo in Al Nassr and Ronaldo was famous enough. Even this player was the reason for many other famous players from the top European teams to join this league in Saudi Arabia.
But hiring Neymar didn't damage Al Hilal and they are still the first team of the Saudi League.
 

Nobody really understood what the goal of Al-Hilal was when they signed Neymar because he was still injured when they signed the contract. They must have known about all the risks and yet they decided to buy him. For PSG the deal was amazing, but to be honest who knows what that deal was really about. Everyone behind these clubs from PSG and Saudi Arabia are businessmen who might have connections elsewhere, too. I doubt that they were hoping Neymar would be as healthy as never before and play a whole season without problems. This illusion burst quickly like a soap bubble.

Maybe you forget that the main target of this league is to attract attention from all over the world so they have to recruit all famous players from several leagues and countries so don't be surprised if they are recruiting injured players, there are some players who are not worthy of playing but they are still recruited so it's easy to read their scenarios and plans. They know recruiting Neymar means taking a risk but they still do it because they have a target from another side, currently Neymar has to be absent until the end of the season because his injury is quite crucial.

In the upcoming or future transfer window we will see other old players joining this league, several top names have been included in the offer list one of them is Moh Salah. This season Liverpool are still holding him but next season we can't be sure, several sources said Moh Salah wanted to leave immediately moreover, his contract will end in 2025 meaning if he is not released in 2024 then he will leave for free of course Liverpool doesn't want that scenario.

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.

Showmatch named after two players  The game, of course, will not have any sporting significance, but based on the venue, I can assume that the sheikhs want to see the results of their investments and the triumph of Saudi football, to begin with, at this level. I hope for a big victory for Al Nasr, maybe this will be another argument for them to move towards the European Champions League.

But what is certain is that this match will really be in the spotlight or become the center of attention for all football fans. And yes it would really succeed in bringing everyone's attention back to Arab football. Even I'm not talking about anyone else. But I also feel that I shouldn't miss watching the match. In essence, they have been successful when talking about business and attracting interest or promotion in the world. In fact, this match was also the answer to all the longings of Messi and CR7 fans who always wanted the two of them to meet on the field.

But hiring Neymar didn't damage Al Hilal and they are still the first team of the Saudi League.

It can be a failure on field if Neymar will continue to get injuries after he returns from the latest injury. It's still time for Neymar to perform and contribute for Al Hilal as his current contract with them is two years, not one year.

Comparing Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Neymar, it seems the Brazilian player is a most sensitive player with injuries even he is a youngest player among three biggest star players in Saudi Professional League. I won't expect Neymar will improve his body too much as ageing will continue to be his biggest issue and with time, it only become worse, not better.

I think Al Hilal knew about Neymar's medical record and risk of signing him because he is very sensitive with injuries. They have too much money and got support from PIF but I believe that they actually did some analysis about risk, cost and benefit before signing the Brazilian player and giving him too good offer. They maybe wanted to use Neymar as a magnet to attract more star players to their club and also it's a part of Saudi Arabia and PIF's plans to develop their national league.

even though its only a friendly match, this could be a big match that fans will be looking forward to to see how much talent these two players have between Messi and Ronaldo and to be honest I will also support Ronaldo to be able to bring victory to Al Nassr to tell the whole world that Ronaldo really is the best compared to Messi.
even if its a bit of an exaggeration, I am sure Im saying the fact that in terms of the talent these two star players have, Ronaldo has the advantage, its just that most people dont realize it and only favor Messi, whereas Ronaldo talent is truly very impressive.

finally there are 2 big matches that we are looking forward to in Al Nassr which will be against Al Hilal and waiting for the friendly match against Inter Miami and I will not miss these two big matches.

Messi has no interest to join SPL. If he wants to move to SPL, he already moved to SPL when Ronaldo joined Al Nassr. At that time we heard that there were Saudi clubs made amazing offers for him, but he rejected the offers and joined MLS.

From what I have heard, Messi was initially willing to consider the offer from Saudi Arabia. But his wife was vehemently against any such move and in the end he chose MLS over Saudi Professional League. Although the MLS contract guarantees him a fat paycheck, it is nowhere near lucrative as a potential SPL contract could have been. Messi had a chance of becoming a billionaire, and he just outright rejected that offer. Maybe he will regret his decision later in his life, but for now his focus is on MLS and on the CONMEBOL qualifiers.

But if Messi joins the SPL Club, I think his popularity will really peak and will be the same as CR7. Because we Asians actually really hope that Messi will be in the SPL. But his decision to go to MLS was also a pretty good one. At least he might be more comfortable there. Because he doesn't need to adapt there. This is different from CR7, which has to adapt to Arabia, where the culture and regulations are very different from those in Europe. But fortunately CR7 actually looks very comfortable here. Even CR7 seems to have found his confidence again after joining Al-Nassr. He became more productive again after joining Al-Nassr.

And actually I very rarely follow MLS matches. So I rarely see Messi competing with his club, Inter Miami. Even though when Messi was at PSG I always didn't miss watching his matches.

Because of his wife, Messi didn't go to SPL and chose MLS. That is one of the reasons we get from media reports. The media has provided various information regarding Messi's failure to play in the Saudi Pro League, but until now none of it has been confirmed.
It is true that if Messi accepts the offer to play in the SPL, the Argentine national team captain will be the richest player along with Ronaldo. Apart from that, if Messi joins the Saudi Pro League club, it will give the Saudi Pro League a high rating from fans.

Reported from thesun Jose Mourinho will join become Saudi Pro League teams manager one day later but not in shortly.  Its looks excited which one team will be new challenge for Jose Mourinho when joining with Saudi Pro League teams regarding his contract will be over on this season with AS Roma. Have many speculation about Jose Mourinho future not only linked with Saudi Pro League teams but also has rumor linked with Real Madrid after leaving by Carlo Ancelotti when this season over.

Its most excited if Jose Mourinho reach deal and join with Saudi Pro League team, he most experienced manager won all competitive league domestic from La Liga, Premier League, Serie A and two Champion League tittle with FC Porto and Inter Milan.

It's a shame that the Saudi Pro League failed to bring Messi to join a Saudi Arabian club even though if Ronaldo and Messi were in a Saudi Arabian club it would be a big advantage because the Saudi club would have a big name like the European league, especially if you look at the popularity of both of them which makes football fans willing to spent a lot of money watching European star players play in Saudi Arabia.
However, we also have to respect Messi's decision to continue his career in MLS, even though the club he brought in was an ordinary club, even worse than the club he usually works for, but it seems like this club has become his best choice and Messi has also won such a title a lot, so I thinking Messi doesn't really need any more titles because Messi is already quite satisfied with the titles he has achieved. I also heard the news that Messi has already planned his decision to live in America with his family, so this is the main belief that Messi may not have any hope of joinning the saudi arabia clubs.

Messi is another story apart from Ronaldo and Neymar who have the status of professional football players. The Saudi Pro League's efforts to bring in a number of big name players are the same as other football leagues and this is a normal thing in marketing and should not be considered a failure because each player being targeted has his own comfort which does not lie in the size of the salary and contract received.

However, we also have to respect Messi's decision to continue his career in MLS, even though the club he brought in was an ordinary club, even worse than the club he usually works for, but it seems like this club has become his best choice and Messi has also won such a title a lot, so I thinking Messi doesn't really need any more titles because Messi is already quite satisfied with the titles he has achieved.

The decision to join Inter Miami is understandable and everyone must respect every player's decision, especially at Messi's level.
Regarding titles, Ronaldo also has many. But for me, between MLS and Saudi Pro League, I would like to say that SPL is competitively better than MLS. The comparison this season. The decision by talented young players who have played for teams in Europe's top leagues to choose to play in the SPL is not a bad decision.

I was quite surprised to hear this news because Mourinho is a very experienced coach in Europe and his arrival one day in the Saudi league will have an even greater popularity effect. If I'm not mistaken, he actually received an offer of 30 million euros but he didn't want to take the offer and kept his word to stay at Roma until his contract was finished. Regarding being Ancelotti's replacement at Real Madrid, he feels there is no need because Real Madrid already has a great coach now.

Of course it all started when he succeeded in bringing Porto to win the Champions League in the 2004 edition and after that he made his name so big that Chelsea didn't hesitate to immediately sign him and finally, to this day he has the nickname "The Special One".

As long as Ronaldo and Messi play in national teams and in real national championships (and not in friendlies), these games will matter more in their correspondence dispute than even such friendly games where they meet on the field. But it is quite natural that this game will attract a lot of attention due to the confrontation between personal brands.

Of course he is a good coach and apart from the fact that some of the teams he coached were not very impressive, it was not entirely because he could not bring the team to become champions, but there were also other factors such as finances and so on.
If he joins one of the clubs owned by the Public Investment Fund, then he will get enormous financial support for Mourinho to use in the transfer market.
Just guessing, maybe Mourinho will join Ittihad or Al Ahli because of the four clubs belonging to PIF, these two clubs are not performing well this season even though they have spent quite a lot of money in the transfer market, but this is just a guess because it could be that he will be joining Al Nassr or Al Hilal and also does not rule out the possibility of returning to Real Madrid next season, and when faced with a choice between the Saudi pro league or Laliga maybe he will choose Laliga

Mbappe has declined any negotiations with clubs from the Saudi Professional League during the last transfer period when he refused the offer over 700 million dollars

We can understand if he rejected all the offers from Saudi clubs. He is still young, he still has a long career. He must prefer to stay in most competitive leagues in the world. He only can play in most competitive leagues if he play in the leagues in Europe. He still has the intention to get a better career as a footballer, that's why he prefers to stay in Europe.

Messi won't go to the Saudi League as he has no reason to do it. He earns enough money in the MLS due to his contracts with Apple and Adidas.

Messi has no interest to join SPL. If he wants to move to SPL, he already moved to SPL when Ronaldo joined Al Nassr. At that time we heard that there were Saudi clubs made amazing offers for him, but he rejected the offers and joined MLS.

Yes but it really comes down to the decision he makes next. He refused that giant offer from Saudi Arabia, but now the question is for what? If he doesn't soon decide to go to one of the best clubs in Europe and I don't count PSG as one of them, then his decision against the money was more thought-provoking that it actually should have been. I was quite sure that he refused any contracts with clubs from Saudi Arabia because he could have a secret agreement with Real Madrid and I really hope he does. He is not a player whose talent should be wasted in Saudi Arabia.

This means there's no ETA for him to join in the saudi club at this moment. It's possible for him to come next year. The only thing that makes me doubt that if mourinho has said that if he will be exteding his contract in the as roma.
This makes me think that if mourinho will not come to the saudi pro league shortly and he may also stay in the serie for another year caused by roma was also interesting to extend his contract now.
Mourinho is still far from joining in SPL at this moment.

Mourinho contract will be ended at the end of this season but there was no certain news regarding his future in Roma whether they will give him contract extension or not and indeed Mourinho personally has said someday he want to train Saudi Arabian teams but i think it depend on his future with Roma that if this team decide to extended his contract then most likely Mourinho will stayed at Roma but if Roma want to look for new manager then Mourinho will decide to leave and train other teams however indeed since last summer Mourinho was linked to Saudi Arabia teams even they were offering huge salary if Mourinho want to leave Roma but at time he has decide to focus for Roma because he respect to his current contract

I hope he will be managing one of club owned by PIF. There's no need to talk about other club. Mourinho is willing to be a coach for a club that gives him a chance to rebuild their own squads. This can happen once he will be going to the club that's owned by PIF.
Ittihad and ahli may become potental clubs for mourinho but roma is not yet giving up to extend mou's contract. Roma is still willing to see mourinho to be a coach for the next seasons. It's caused by mourinho has really delivered what he has promised to the roma.
All of roma fans are also loving him. Those agreed if mourinho shall have stayed for another season. Mou will not be interesting to go to the la liga again but it would be differ when we are talking about EPL.
Mou has ever offered himself to the chelsea to be a new appointment again, but that's sad chelsea was abandoning his offer. The blues can take him again since mourinho is one of historycal coach of chelsea.

Messi choosing the MLS over the SPL intrigues me. I always believed he had higher values than money. Sure, he might have been as wealthy as Ronaldo by entering the SPL. Messi has a brilliant career filled with several accolades and successes. He seems to be looking for a different kind of satisfaction. The thought of his new task in MLS is fascinating. He would put his family's happiness ahead of earning more money because they love living in America. Money isnt the only thing in life, is it?

Moving to MLS feels good. Athletes frequently chase large contracts, but Messi's choice appears to be motivated by his family and personal values. Sports players have families and preferences just like the rest of us. While it is regrettable that he will not be playing with Ronaldo in the SPL, his presence in the MLS could increase the calibre and popularity of the league. Its unconventional yet effective nonetheless.

Let's say family reasons are a consideration for Messi finally preferring MLS to SPL, but for me personally see there may be other reasons that cannot be said to the public. But family is indeed a lot of reasons that many players use which in the end the player prefers to follow the will of his family, especially with his old age and in the not too distant future will certainly announce to retire it will be a very logical reason from the player.
But wherever they are, the fact is that Messi and Ronaldo are currently still the talk of the fans about their performances at their respective clubs.
