Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Nheer]

I heard that one of Manchester United's defensive midfielders is leaving and has received several offers from Saudi Pro League clubs. That is Casemiro, one of the midfielders who has a good appearance. However, there is no news that can really be confirmed about which club he is listening to, but what is clear is that the offer has been received. Will it be Al Nassr?

It’s obvious that United is not the right team for him at his age because everything he seems to do doesn’t matter since the team is not at their best right now, they are struggling to find a consistent performance and he is not really appreciated much so seeking a move out will be at his favor. The best thing to do right now is to join other players in Saudi league or better still he can reunite with his former Madrid and Manchester United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo in Al Nassr. Al Nassr seem to interested in him and are looking to reunite them once more, if that happens it will be good move for both the club and the players because it will improve the team’s defensive performance that they struggled throughout last season.

I feel like Saudi league should also start to look for younger players as well. I am not saying 23 years old or something, that may not be possible, I mean no matter how much money they pay, they can't get someone like Cole Palmer for example, yeah that is not going to happen.

However, they do not have to look for players who are 30+ years old all the time, I think it could be like 27 years old at minimum, but like until 30 as well. Right now, I keep hearing names that are 35 or more as well, like Lewandowski is a talking point now, I am sorry but while he is awesome and if they can then they should get him, but why keep going for those? They are offering so much money, they should look for players who are younger and pay them instead.

[Blitzboy]

I just saw a piece of weird news about one superstar player I was not expecting to see something like that from him.
Qadsiah is a team in Saudi Arabia they are not in the league for a long time and compared to teams like Al Hilal and Al Nassr, they don't have popularity in this country.
Now it seems Qadsiah wants to hire Nacho from Real Madrid. Qadsiah will pay him 10 per year which is a good amount of money to have this paler until 2026.

 

It may be the most surprising transfer news of the year! Qadsiah to Nacho? Who knew? You know what? Somewhat excited about this. Nacho and the Saudi Pro League may benefit.

Nacho is an experienced winner. He might help Qadsiah, who are still finding their footing in the top flight, with his expertise and leadership. The money incentive is a huge benefit for a retiring player. The Saudi Pro League made a big statement with this signing. It indicates they're not just for veteran superstars looking for a payout. They're recruiting premier players who can make an impact. What Nacho can do in this new setting excites me!

Star players are only to help the team as a whole, but if you say that just having one star player is not enough to bring them to the championship, I don't agree with this. The reason is that in a team, it is not just the star players who are the factors that lead them to achieve success, but more than that, one of them is excellent teamwork from all positions. If that can be done, then even without star players I think they will be able to become champions.
Will having lots of star players guarantee you will be champions? I don't think so, many star-studded teams have failed to become champions, we can see that in mainland Europe. So in my opinion the most important thing is teamwork, it's useless if you have lots of star players but in terms of game they can't work together well. This is not an individual game, this is a team game, so teamwork is more required, and star players are only an added value.

That’s what I just said. What I wanted to say is having one important or star player in the team is not going to be enough if he is unable to have good chemistry with other players and the other players also fail to understand what he wants to do. that’s probably something along the lines of what happened with Benzema in the Saudi pro league. People also should not forget that he was infamous for missing very easy chances when he was in Real Madrid. And the season in which he was able to win the Ballon d’Or, I will say he was pretty lucky. But the "Ramadan Benzema" was truly incredible though. It was like the more he was fasting, the more he was able to perform well. Anyway back to the present. I don't think he will ever be able to replicate the performance that he had with Real Madrid in that season. Doesn’t matter in which league he is playing.

When you’re a star man and you’re playing with some other average guys, one of the two either happens. You either become the very best or you flop. It’s like a psychological thing where your brain works to level you along with the other guys as you don’t feel threatened or you’re not in so much competition.
With that been said, being one man in the sea of others doesn’t always help much, even when you’ve got a couple of other guys for support. Even Al Nasr with the likes of Sadio, Ronaldo and a couple of other elite guys couldn’t win the kings trophy. You would expect them to win it easily but no, that didn’t happen. They went ahead to win on their individual brilliance but not the trophy. The psychology games on you!

One thing is admirable though, the Saudi league is gradually coming to be and you’ve got one guy to thank for it, Ronaldo.

That is Casemiro, one of the midfielders who has a good appearance. However, there is no news that can really be confirmed about which club he is listening to, but what is clear is that the offer has been received. Will it be Al Nassr?

It also makes sense for Al Nassr to target Casemiro for them, because their problem this season is in defense and maybe with the arrival of a spartan defensive midfielder who can cut off the opponent's ball flow, they will be able to defend even better. If he joins Al Nassr, then he will again play with his teammate when he played at Real Madrid and also when he played at Manchester United, Ronaldo. But we'll see who ends up getting the signature of this Brazilian player.

This rumor has been spreading for weeks but there is no clear progress. Casemiro will be a perfect player for AL Nassr, he will play together with Ronaldo. Ronaldo already asked to Al Nassr to sign Casemiro. If he becomes the player of Al Nassr, no doubt AL Nassr will have a stronger midfield line. However, I don't see any statement from Casemiro whether he is interested to join AL Nassr or not.

Yes, AL Nassr has a problem with their defense. Casemiro is the defensive midfielder, he will be helpful for AL Nassr defense. I really hope Al Nassr management is really serious to negotiate with Casemiro because he is proven as a great midfielder both in Real Madrid and in Man United. He is also still in a good performance, so it will be very amazing if he can join Al Nassr for the next season.

I feel like Saudi league should also start to look for younger players as well. I am not saying 23 years old or something, that may not be possible, I mean no matter how much money they pay, they can't get someone like Cole Palmer for example, yeah that is not going to happen.

They are offering so much money, they should look for players who are younger and pay them instead.

Yes, it would be more exciting if SPL looked for young players who were less than 30 years old so that SPL's name could become even better. And in fact, recently the ones bought by Saudi Arabian clubs have always been those above 30. but of course by buying players over the age of 30 it can be said to be successful because now the name of the SPL is becoming increasingly famous and also like the latest one where Nacho will join Al-Qadsiah which of course he is over the age of 30 but yes of course his presence is certainly very good and of course hopefully the club Arabs were able to bring in young players after Nacho joined Al-Qadsiah.

In my opinion, maybe this is a good start for the SPL because of course the SPL can gradually buy young players and to be honest, I personally also hope that Saudi Arabian clubs will buy young players. Yes, if for example a young player like Cole Palmer is bought, it will certainly make the SPL better because there is a balance between the SPL players.

One by one Real Madrid players left this summer after Nacho previously joined Al-Qadsiah, now it is Joselu's turn to follow him to the Saudi league. Joselu will not stay at Real Madrid even though management is willing to redeem his 1.5 million clause from Espanyol and it seems he feels happy after winning various titles with Real Madrid in one season.

On the other hand, I think it was the right decision from Joselu because his place at Real Madrid has been shifted by the arrival of several talented young players such as Mbappe and Endrick so if he stays he won't get the chance to play. So his decision to go to the Saudi league and earn more money was absolutely right. However, it is not yet clear which team will get the contract later.

So, which team will get Joselu? In my opinion, it might be Al-Ittihad considering that Benzema has been unreliable so far.

[Awak Bambi]

Fabrizio Romano reported aout Pioli and his next destination. After stopping working with AC Milan, Pioli hasn't chosen any team yet but it seems since Al Ittihad couldn't better good results during the last season, they want to start working with Pioli.
Al Ittihad is also trying to hire some superstar players for the next season and this can make Al Ittihad much stronger teams to race with the other teams like Al Hilal and Al Nassr while hiring Benzema during the last summer was not effective for Al Ittihad but this time they want to make a better coach to improve the team.

What is this Pioli-to-Al Ittihad rumour? Even for the Saudi league, it sounds fishy. Its not a surprise that Gallardo was fired. When you cant handle a team with Benzema on it, you're out. But Pioli? He wants to be a top boss and not just work in the Saudi league. I've heard that he's interested in the Premier League and wants to join a club with a lot of history and status. Really, who wouldnt?

If Al Ittihad gives him enough money, though, things will be different. Everyone knows that the Saudis are ready to spend a lot of money on famous people. But I'll tell you this: I'll eat my hat if Pioli goes through with that plan. Thats a promise.

A good offer for Al Ittihad for this former AC Milan coach, because last season Al Ittihad really lacked the strategy or game scheme that they implemented so they had a lot of failures in matches, Poli made a lot of sense to take him to Saudi Pro because Poli can also experimenting with strategies and also game schemes because if he goes to England he will lose because the Premier League is not yet suitable for the coach in my opinion, and in times of unemployment like now it is a good thing for him to guide Al Ittihad to be better.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Joselu will join the Qatar League, not the Saudi Pro League, more precisely with Al Gharafa. We all realize that Joselu departure is very reasonable, because his opportunities to play in Real Madrid main squad next season will be drastically reduced after Mbappe arrival. Self-aware of this situation, I think Joselu has taken the right step in leaving Santiago Bernabeu. His contribution last season will always be remembered, if not exaggeratedly, Joselu was Real Madrid most successful loan ever. Joining Al Gharafa is also very profitable financially, Joselu will get high wages like European players who join the Saudi League. Joselu was lucky enough in his short period with Real Madrid, he managed to win three trophies in one season.

[Fuso.hp]

Every club in the Saudi League has strengthened their teams in such a way that it is difficult to distinguish between the big teams and the smaller teams. Ronaldo and Nasser play for the club and some other star players have joined the Al Nasser club so we consider this club as a strong club but outside of that there are clubs like Al Hilal and Etihad who have been performing very well. No match for Al Nasser is easy, every match requires a lot of hard work and proper planning to win. One season Al Nasser is the champion, another season Al Ittihad is the champion and another season Al Hilal is the champion, so there is still competition in this league and that is definitely a good thing.

Although Saudi Arabia is famous as a rich country, but I think there is still inequality that occurs in the league today, we cannot assume that if all the teams in Arabia are rich teams like Al Nassr, no different from the clubs in other leagues there's a big teams and weak team, of course we will also find significant differences both in terms of finances and the performance of clubs in the Saudi Arabian League so far, Small team teams are also  entitled to recruit foreign players to their team according to the quota that has been set by the league authority, but we can also see that foreign players recruited by small team teams are certainly not expensive star players like Ronaldo, Benzema and Neymar today.

The competition in the SPL began to be very competitive next season after teams such as Al Nassr, Al Ittihad and Al Ahli this season fell far behind Al Hillal, so that indeed made them start looking for and eyeing European star players to be able to make their squad stronger next season, competitive competition of course guarantees to make the league even more interesting because indeed many teams have the same chance to become champions.

The Saudi leagues are paying huge sums of money to bring a lot of players from Europe to their league every season and last season I heard rumors that several teams in the Saudi league could get a chance in the Champions League. But last season it was only rumours. Rumors of Saudi Arabia's clubs playing in the Champions League are definitely a big win for the Saudi League because rumors are bound to come true at some point. If every season the different clubs of the Saudi League spend money to bring European stars to their clubs, then one day the best teams of the Saudi League will play in the Champions League. Players will be attracted to this Saudi league whenever Champions League is played and then this league will become more popular.

[Palakka]

C. Ronaldo has worked hard this season with Al Nassr he has given his best for the club, no one can be blamed because they failed to kill Al Hilal this season, because everyone is aware that Al Hilal is a strong club in Saudi they have conquered it in in Saudi, so it won't be easy to beat them, but for Al Nassr themselves they have to bring new performance to the squad for next season so that their journey to conquer the Saudi Pro is successful.

Ronaldo has given a lot of influence on the current Arab League football, not only for Al Nassr but indirectly Ronaldo arrival to the Arab League has actually made the popularity of the Arab League increase, Al Nassr this season has failed to win the Saudi Arabian League but Ronaldo has been able to perform quite well and of course has contributed a lot to every Al Nassr match so far,   Although this season Al Nassr failed to win the Arab League, Ronaldo was still able to show his capacity as a reliable striker and was also able to set a new record as a striker who managed to become the top scorer in 4 different leagues so far.

Al Nassr who this season failed to compete with Al Hillal of course must be able to improve the quality of their squad next season to be able to win the league, currently it is reported that Al Nassr is starting to try to bring in some star players who are indeed considered to be able to make their squad better later, among some of the players targeted by Al Nassr currently some of them are former Ronaldo teammates namely Casemiro and also Szczesny, so I think Ronaldo seems to be specifically ask the management of Al Nassr to recruit them.

[CryptoBuds]

Al-Qadsiah and Al-Ittihad are currently competing to get the services of Real Madrid captain Nacho Fernandez. On the other hand, Al-Qadsiah offered a 2 year contract for Nacho Fernandez after knowing that Al-Ittihad was getting closer to an agreement and I think here Al-Ittihad only needs to increase their salary offer if they want to win the competition to get him.
Literally, Al-Ittihad is bigger and better than Al-Qadsiah and I think Nacho Fernandez knows where he is going. Moreover, there is his former teammate at Real Madrid, namely Benzema, so the connection will be easier. On the other hand, the depth of Al-Ittihad's squad is much more adequate so there is no other reason for him not to join Al-Ittihad.
Despite all that, Nacho Fernandez will still be thinking about his decision with Real Madrid as he is still likely to stay rather than leave this summer.
Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1804401683939647586

Wow, I just heard about Al-Qadsiah who are also interested in bringing in European players, are they the first club in Saudi Pro that is not owned by the Saudi government that wants to bring in European players? as we know Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal and 3 other clubs are owned by the Saudi government, of course it is not surprising that they have a budget and now Al-Qadsiah comes as a new competitor    obviously it is interesting to increase competition in this league and avoid monopoly.

It seems that Al-Qadsiah is not part of the Saudi government circle and they are certainly supported by several investors so they can recruit European players and I think they have that power considering they are a Middle Eastern club. Moreover, when promotion to the Saudi League has been confirmed, of course they want greater prestige and that is an opportunity to bring in European players to make their team even more famous.
The deal with Nacho Fernandez is locked and he will be an Al-Qadsiah player next season. Maybe I have a feeling why Nacho Fernandez didn't choose Al-Ittihad because the atmosphere there was not good and reflecting on his former teammate, Benzema, it seems like he didn't want to be caught in the same problem so he chose Al-Qadsiah over Al-Ittihad and it was the right decision.

Nacho Fernández will not accept Real Madrid's one-year renewal offer and will leave the club at the age of 34 to sign with Al-Qadisiyah FC, a newly promoted team in the Saudi league, endorsed by their Spanish coach, José Miguel González 'Míchel'.

Well, this was a surprise. I thought for a player who has been with Real Madrid throughout his whole season well probably wants to stay at Real Madrid for another season. But it seems like he is actually choosing money. Which is absolutely fine, especially at this stage of his career. he is quite old and it is best for him to actually grab the money that he can get right now.

By the way, we will also have to remember that the money he is able to get now from any Saudi club is probably not going to be the same that he’s going to get one year later. Well if he’s able to perform very good, he will probably receive more money but it is hard to imagine that he is going to perform better in the next season if he stays with Real Madrid. So in the end I will say good decision for the player.

[Hirose UK]

Agree with you, Nacho Fernandez is not young anymore and he has won many titles with Real Madrid because Nacho Fernandez is Real Madrid legend at the moment because he had good career and grew up there.
Maybe the final point of desire is to make as much money as possible in the last few years and be able to enjoy retirement with the money that has been collected.
There are several Real Madrid players who have decided to go to Saudi and they are great players who have previously contributed lot to Real Madrid success every season, now he just needs to enjoy playing for big money even with an unpopular team.

For example, Benzema plays for Al Ittihad but he doesn't get title and his playing performance has decreased, but basically he gets large salary and this is the main goal of every player going to Saudi.
I also believe that Nacho Fernandez must have considered it and he will make decision that he considers right.

Even at his current age, one of his teammates has decided to retire from football, namely Toni Kroos, even though his performance is still very good. Maybe as a player, if Nacho retires at the age of 40 then he will have at least 5/6 more years to play, that is the age that is the highest calculation and in fact we don't know what number he wants to retire when he reaches the end.
He has won all the titles during his time with Real Madrid, so there is actually no burden for him to now focus on the income he will get in a team. He is actually just enjoying the rest of his career now with the success he achieved with Real Madrid and one of them is going to a less competitive league.
However, now it is just a rumor and there is no certainty whether he will really leave or whether he received an offer from another team which he finally accepted. but even if he goes to the SPL, it's not a problem.

For Toni Kroos himself, it is clear that he decided to retire from football after his contract expired because of his love for Real Madrid and could end his entire career with the team he had played for so well for so many years, this was wise decision for Toni Kroos.
He could go and play for another team out there but all that means nothing because Toni Kroos already has many very satisfying titles, several UCL and La Liga titles as well as from other competitions, it is clear that there is no more achievement that he wants.
Moreover, seeing his decision to retire shows that money is not everything for Toni Kroos, if he still prioritizes money then he can go to Saudi to get big salary and of course get lots of benefits while playing in the SPL.

Some people think that Nacho Fernandez decision to leave Real Madrid and play with team that is not very popular could provide certain reasons, but we don't know what he would actually think if he accepted the offer.
What is clear for sure is that Nacho Fernandez still has lot of time to really put in his best performance as player and he himself has full rights in his decisions regarding his future.
Whatever it is, some people will definitely disagree but some will also agree because being with Real Madrid might make him unable to follow the playing style of the young players.

Once the age of a player get closer to 35, he should take cautions about his future with Real Madrid since the club will offer always one year contract, at maximum two years contract with no guarantee to play full time and might even find himself in the benches the whole time depending from his performance but essentially from other players performance. So it is normal for any player to go find a suitable team in a suitable league for his actual performance to look more important than being a normal player in Real Madrid. Besides money won from Saudi Pro League is always higher than any other league.

I think this is the right choice, even before Mbappe's arrival Joselu's position in the team was not very good, and I think Ancelotti has made it clear that this will not change in the future. And for Joselu this is a very good chance to change clubs after a successful season, get a contract with better conditions and get more playing time. He is no longer young, 34 years old means he has a few seasons left at most, so it is worth thinking about moving to Saudi Arabia.

So, which team will get Joselu? In my opinion, it might be Al-Ittihad considering that Benzema has been unreliable so far.

It is not surprising that Joselu made a decision like that, because he must have taken this decision very carefully. Considering that Real Madrid has currently brought in several talented players like Mbappe, it is certain that Joselu's position next season will be slightly shifted at Real Madrid. Therefore, his decision to join a team in the Saudi Arabian League could be said to be the right decision. Because in the Saudi Arabian League, he will definitely remain a mainstay player. Apart from that, he can also earn more money if he plays for a Saudi Arabian League club.

Apart from that, until now there have been no rumors about which Saudi Arabian club will bring in Joselu. However, what is certain is that the strongest candidates who might be able to bring in Joselu are Al Hilal, Al Ittihad, Al Ahli or Al Nasr. The reason is, so far these clubs have recruited the most top players from European clubs. So you can be sure that if Joselu goes to Saudi Arabia he will definitely land at these 4 clubs. However, if I sort it according to my predictions, which club will Joselu join in the Saudi Arabian League (among the 4 clubs).

Al Nasr, maybe the possibility is the smallest when compared to the other 3 teams. The reason is that currently Al Nasr already has several great players playing on the front lines, for example Ronaldo and Mane. So if it can be confirmed, the possibility of Al Nasr bringing in Joselu is definitely very small (because Joselu is a player who plays in the attacking position).

Then Al Hilal, Al Hilal can bring in Joselu, to increase his breakthrough strength. However, just like Al Nasr, Al Hilal also has some very good forward players. It has been proven that this season Al Hilal was able to win many titles. Apart from that, Al Hilal is still under contract with Neymar and is likely to be able to play again next season. So it could also be said that Al Hilal has minimal opportunity to bring in Joselu.

Then Al Ittihad, their front line is currently not good. Maybe bringing in Joselu could be a solution for Al Ittihad's attack line. So Al Ittihad does have quite a big possibility of bringing in Joselu.

Then Al Ahli, whose performance can be said to be the same as Al Ittihad, has weaknesses on the front line. It would definitely be great if for example they brought in Joselu as their front player. So if you look at this, Al Ahli also has quite a big possibility of bringing in Joselu.

So in essence, according to my prediction, if Joselu really goes to the Saudi Arabian league, most likely the team that will bring him in will be Al Ahli or Al Ittihad.

That's right friends, I was quite surprised after I posted this and tried surfing social media to find the fact that Joselu chose the Qatar club as his new stop and I think that was also the right decision. It seems he wants to avoid popularity in the Saudi league and try somewhere else which will certainly be no less enjoyable at the end of his football playing days.

On the other hand, it seems that only Nacho has joined one of the Saudi League clubs, namely Al-Qadsiah, and this was confirmed more clearly a few days ago by Fabrizio Romano. Nacho will get a two-year contract and it looks like the distribution of European players will start to even out in the Saudi league. However, I am sure this is not over yet and several other Saudi league teams will try to hunt for other European players to increase the depth of their squad next season.

Besides money won from Saudi Pro League is always higher than any other league.

Maybe, if Nacho has thought very carefully about leaving Santiago Bernabeu. considering that Ancelotti or Real Madrid will bring in several names of defenders to update the defensive line, plus at Nacho's current age, he rarely finds himself in a key player position. yeah, we know that several Real Madrid defenders were injured previously and that is what gives Nacho the option to be the main player. even so, Nacho rarely plays a full game if I refer to his statistics with Madrid. at his current age, we can be sure that he will be seen more on the bench than playing full time when Real Madrid plays match after match. For most professional players, Nacho definitely wants to be given more time and improve his performance at the same time. however, it seems that there is a Saudi club that is interested in his services in exchange for a quite fantastic salary.

Considering the situation, it seems like the former Real Madrid defender has chosen to leave and try to pursue his career in the Saudi Pro League. well, this is his choice regardless of the money he receives in return for his salary. It's only natural, Nacho previously played with an elite European team. then, suddenly there was another league club who wanted to sign him for a fairly large fee. the opportunity may not occur next season, especially since Nacho will be 35 years old. maybe a season or two before he stops his professional career, or Nacho will remain in the Saudi Pro League until the club no longer needs his services. apart from that, Nacho can share the experiences he had while playing for elite European clubs. what is certain is that Nacho has decided to leave Real Madrid and join a club from the Saudi Pro League, regardless of whether money is his motive or desire.

it would be more exciting if SPL looked for young players who were less than 30 years old so that SPL's name could become even better. And in fact, recently the ones bought by Saudi Arabian clubs have always been those above 30. but of course by buying players over the age of 30 it can be said to be successful because now the name of the SPL is becoming increasingly famous and also like the latest one where Nacho will join Al-Qadsiah which of course he is over the age of 30 but yes of course his presence is certainly very good and of course hopefully the club Arabs were able to bring in young players after Nacho joined Al-Qadsiah.

In my opinion, maybe this is a good start for the SPL because of course the SPL can gradually buy young players and to be honest, I personally also hope that Saudi Arabian clubs will buy young players. Yes, if for example a young player like Cole Palmer is bought, it will certainly make the SPL better because there is a balance between the SPL players.

They have done that so far because they wanted to get players who are super famous, you can't get Ronaldo or Benzema type of players when they are 25 years old or not even when they are 30 years old neither, you can only get those players when they are already quite old.

However, they have already done that, and right now they are not really looking like they are doing all that weirdly, I feel like we could probably see them do differently one day or another, and we should probably consider that it is normal for them to have this type of situation. We should consider how things aren't always that great, and we need to make sure that we can do something that would be a bit more inclined to fix in the end, should be nice to get some young now that they have fame.
