Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[knowngunman]

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.

Most of us are not too familiar with this Asian clubs. I don't know the team too but from the name I also assumed it is a Saudi team until now because it sounds Arabic which we mostly relate to Saudi. That been said, I don't see the move as a right decision from Joselu who can offer a lot in the Europe to build his career. He was barely known before he came to Madrid on loan but his performance has earned him recognition this season and I believe he can do more if he continues in Europe. We can not refute the fact that this Asian teams can earn him more money but his career is also at stake of being shattered. People including myself hardly watch these leagues and all the players including the most successful ones who are now playing in various Asian leagues are not longer been talk about like before compared to when they were playing in the Europe league. Anyway, perhaps Joselu probably wish to end his career there since age is catching up with him.

Once the age of a player get closer to 35, he should take cautions about his future.

It is difficult to get a regular place when the player is over 32 years old, even Luka Modric, who is Real Madrid's mainstay senior player, currently sits mostly on the bench. He realizes that at his current age it is quite difficult to play full time because Real Madrid is also We already have young players who of course have stronger stamina. So the senior players will one day be replaced and one by one the Real Madrid seniors will leave, like Toni Kroos, he decided to retire early even though he is still younger than Luka Modric. But what Juselu did was actually not the wrong decision. He has the right to determine the end of his career because it is very likely that he will retire soon so he decided to leave and choose a club with a bigger salary and I quite agree with Juselu's decision. With Mbappe at Real Madrid It seems like there is no place for him to be in the starting 11.

With Mbappe at Real Madrid It seems like there is no place for him to be in the starting 11.

Basically, when every player gets older and experiences significant decline in performance, plus there are more young players who are great and have potential, those who are older will often sit on the bench.
Moreover, for Real Madrid, which already has quite lot of young players and can always be relied on when they are part of the main squad, this is also the reason why Ancelotti did not try to retain his senior players when he decided to leave and retire.
But by the way, it cannot be denied that those who are older and decide to leave in search of big salary, the last resort is Saudi football and there are already several players who have done this.

Everything is clear and Joselu also accepted the offer made by Al Gharafa and played in the Qatar League, but this will be the same because Saudi and Qatar are two countries that both develop football very well.

[arimamib]

Joselu to Saudi League will not be great for the league itself. I mean don't get me wrong, they do like getting Real Madrid strikers, they got the last three of them right now, and that seems like a good way. However, Joselu was there just for one season and even in that season they preferred to play without striker in many games instead of playing him. Just because he had one season there, doesn't mean that he is great, it is quite clear that he is not that great.

We should consider how this is a wrong move and I think it would benefit them a lot more if they knew what they were doing. I think Joselu will probably be mediocre at best there, and I do hope that they do not offer a lot of money to him, would be useless to spend that much.

I want to clarify a little about joselu current goal, joselu has indeed left for the middle east at the moment but he went not to the Saudi Arabian league but to the current qatar league and of course the two leagues are different leagues and with different competition as well, currently there are two madrid players who are leaving for the middle east, namely joselu to Al Gharafa (Qatar) and also nacho to Al Qadsiah (Saudi Arabia),  I think Joselu departure to Qatar is the right step for him to take, although this season he is able to become Madrid hero in the Champions League but we have to admit that it will be difficult for him to compete with other players in the Madrid squad, especially since Madrid is currently starting to have ambitions to build a squad by relying on many young players.

While Nacho of course he has spent almost his entire life with Madrid, so it is appropriate for Nacho to look for new experiences and of course to improve his finances before he retires, as a player who has the highest loyalty to Madrid, of course we can see if Nacho departure to another team makes many Madrid fans sad,  But that's football where players come and go is a common thing.

[rendravolt]

This is Nacho's happy face after officially signing a contract as a new Al-Qadsiah player and he is also wearing the legendary number 6 jersey that he has worn all this time at Real Madrid. With a 2 year contract duration with Al-Qadsiah, it is hoped that he can strengthen the defense line with all the experience he has.

On the other hand, we will also see new faces from European players next season and I hope this will continue for other Saudi League teams to be able to sign other European players so that the competition can be more competitive and colorful. My feeling is that Al-Qadsiah will not be satisfied with just signing Nacho and they will likely add new ammunition to the striker and midfielder positions.

Nacho become the first top European players joining with Saudi Arabia club although he accept offer from the promotion team for next season, its interested with Nacho keep wearing 6 as his favorite number since still playing with Real Madrid.
Get contract until two years later and Nacho will received payment around 10 million euro every season make him become most expensive players salary for Al-Qadsiah club awhile not close opportunity the management sign top European players and reach higher payment salary than Nacho.

Saudi Pro League matches season 2024/25 still not announce yet and seems get break around two months later, have longer time for any team to sign top European players and waiting who will follow Nacho for joining with Saudi Arabia?

The Saudi League with the arrival of players like Nacho will continue to be a league that is in demand by top European and other world players. It is true that the players who come to the Saudi league are considered to want to enjoy their careers, but from Euro 2024, the players who play in the Saudi league show that whatever league a player is in will not affect their performance. Kante, for example, has proven that in any league, including the Saudi league, his performance does not decrease even though he competes with players who play in the top European leagues.

Lol.

Al-Qadsiah is a team that play in Saudi First Division League i.e. a league below Saudi Professional league, above Saudi Second Division. Although they won in FDL and they will be promoted to SPL in the next season, but we all know how bad is the team that play in second tier league compared to first tier league.

Nacho will not able to change anything, since he's playing in center back position, he will not really shine.

[MAAManda]

My feeling is that Al-Qadsiah will not be satisfied with just signing Nacho and they will likely add new ammunition to the striker and midfielder positions.

They already have big names in those positions, for striker they have Luciano Vietto & for midfielder they have Andre Carillo, but because they're a promoted team that will play in the SPL in the next season, I'm sure they will bring in other top players, no in the midfielder or striker position, maybe it's a goalkeeper or another defender (especially CB). However, so far I don't have any new information regarding the Al Qadsiah transfer rumors and which players might go to this team.

However, so far I don't have any new information regarding the Al Qadsiah transfer rumors and which players might go to this team.

As a team with promotion status, Al Qadsiah definitely wants to show that they can compete even though this is their first season. And one of the things they did was to recruit several players who had big names, especially those from Europe or who now played in big European teams. This kind of thing is something that I think is an instant process that they want to do, because it will take time if they build the foundation from the ground up. But they can do that at the same time as they bring in well-known players.

I think they have a good financial situation, so they make moves like this. Actually, this is nothing new, because most of the teams in the Saudi Pro League are known as teams that have good financial standing.

I wouldn't be surprised if they announced or there were rumors about them being interested in a big name player. The reason is that from the start of their movement, it was clear that they really intended to do that. So let's wait to see what they will do next.

[Blitzboy]

Nacho going to... Al-Qadsiah? Look, folks, I know a good deal when I see one, and this ain't it. Al-Qadsiah is a relative newcomer; they are not the Yankees of Saudi soccer, exactly. They're investing in a name in the hopes that Nacho's residual Real Madrid charm will spread to them. Now Nacho is a decent player and a kind man. But lets be honest, his best days are behind him. This is a retirement move. With a healthy salary in a league that is, lets just say, not quite the Champions League, he is profiting off his reputation. Give me some time on this whole "new era" of Saudi football. A league is not changed by a few aging stars over night. A competitive league is built by more than just a few well-known players.

However, so far I don't have any new information regarding the Al Qadsiah transfer rumors and which players might go to this team.

Nacho has officially left Real Madrid after spending almost his entire career in Madrid so far, so it is not surprising that he currently chooses to go to the Saudi Arabian League, but what surprises me is that he did not go to Al Nassr or Al Hillal, but now he joined the  promotion team Al Qadsiah, Nacho will of course undergo his new adventure at a club outside Europe so indeed he needs a little adaptation to be able to show performance The game, currently Nacho age has reached 34 years, so it is very natural for him to continue his career in a league that is not competitive other than to seek new experience, of course, a big salary is the main target of Nacho at this time.

Al Qadsiah is a promotion team this season to the Saudi Arabian premier league, so it is not surprising to us if they continue to try to be able to compete with the team team in the Saudi Arabian premier league later, in addition to the macho that they have officially obtained at this time, Al Qadsiah is also reportedly starting to target mane as the next target, besides that Al Qadsiah has also managed to recruit the current Belgian goalkeeper with a contract duration of 3 years,  Casteels was able to good perform  with Belgium in euro, so Al Qadsiah did not wait long to make him the main goalkeeper next season.

The Saudi Pro League will be a competitive league, especially if each contestant has a former top European player in their squad, which will make the competition for the trophy even tighter. So far, Al Nassr, Al Hilal, Al Ahli and Al Ittihad have been quite aggressive in recruiting former top European players. If this step is followed by all the other contestants, I think sooner or later the Saudi Pro League will become more interesting to watch.

Nacho's joining Al Qadsiah indicates that now more clubs are recruiting former top European players. Personally, I think that in the future there will be more clubs taking this step. In the end, sooner or later the Saudi Pro League will become a competitive league, because in essence they are supported by very adequate financial strength. I predict that Al Hilal will have difficulty defending the trophy and their unbeaten record next season.

This officially happened and now it seems Al Qadsiah hired Nacho from Real Madrid. Nacho was a great player for this team and he had a good performance there but since he can earn much more money in Saudi Arabia, joining Al Qadsiah can help Nacho earn what he wants to earn at the end of his career.
He said in an interview however I couldn't find details about his contract with to know his salary he can get there in the Saudi League.

My feeling is that Al-Qadsiah will not be satisfied with just signing Nacho and they will likely add new ammunition to the striker and midfielder positions.

Spending more than 20 years in a single club is a long time for a player even so with Nacho that he was with Real Madrid for almost 23 years and gets plenty of trophies with this team but indeed one of Nacho weaknesses is he was injured prone and this make Nacho status mostly as substutition player but Nacho is not give up and he can able to bounce back and this season Nacho can reach to his top performance again and it makes Ancelotti is fully trust him to playing at Real Madrid defensive lines for almost every matches this season

Just like i said before actually Real Madrid was offering him 1 year contract extension but unfortunately Nacho was refuse that offer because he want to look for new challenge and his decision to playing at Saudi Pro League is predictable because previously he was rumoured will playing at this league but for some European players Saudi Pro League is hard league this because they had a hard time adapting to this league some of them even decided to give up and let see it later whether Nacho will adapt quickly with Al-Qadsiah or not and one of the main reason why Al-Qadsiah bought Nacho is because he is experience player and they hopes Nacho can help them to survive at Saudi Pro League

[klidex]

Nacho going to... Al-Qadsiah? Look, folks, I know a good deal when I see one, and this ain't it. Al-Qadsiah is a relative newcomer; they are not the Yankees of Saudi soccer, exactly.

Give me some time on this whole "new era" of Saudi football. A league is not changed by a few aging stars over night. A competitive league is built by more than just a few well-known players.

I know this is difficult to accept because he is a legendary Real Madrid player who plays as defender and captain of Real Madrid, but he has decided what he thinks is best for himself. When he gets older, he may be quite tired of playing in the European League where the competition is getting fiercer. He is aware that his performance at Real Madrid will be replaced by younger players because every year Real Madrid recruiting talented young players.

He spent 10 years with Real Madrid and now it is time for him to leave the big club that bears his name. Playing at Al Qadsiah could perhaps be said to be the end of his time and could be said to be his last place of retirement and he will play with a club that is not at the top of the Saudi League but he will show the best he can as he did at Real Madrid perhaps requires adaptation first because he is not yet used to playing with a Saudi Arabian club.

I know that a league cannot be changed by old players, but the fact is that the Saudi League cannot recruit potential young players from the European League apart from waiting for the players to get older. But the Saudi League always considers recruiting star players from big clubs, this is to increase the club's reputation, star players from big clubs also have good performance so Al Qadsiah's goal is to recruit Nacho from Real Madrid because he is a defender that Real Madrid always relies on, who knows, he could perform well at Al Qadsiah and help the club perform better.

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.

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.

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.

Joselu was rumored to be staying with Real Madrid for one more season a few days back then there were rumors that he was going to leave Real Madrid to join the Saudi League but now there are new rumors that he will be joining the Qatar League. The news of the transfer market is not very reliable, so when a player will go to a club and extend his contract with a club, these things seem to be rumours. If Joselu is thinking of leaving Real Madrid to join another club, I think the Saudi Pro League should be on his list. If any offer comes to him from Saudi League then I think he will accept that offer from Saudi League.

My feeling is that Al-Qadsiah will not be satisfied with just signing Nacho and they will likely add new ammunition to the striker and midfielder positions.

It seems that Al-Qadsiyah will want to compete for the title together with Al Nassr and Al Hilal, but Nacho is not enough for this. They need to bring better players to the team. As for Nacho, his salary seems to reflect a smile on his face. Of course, this is now an option for a player in his final stages. I think Lewandowski can also be in the SPL.

Joselu was rumored to be staying with Real Madrid for one more season a few days back then there were rumors that he was going to leave Real Madrid to join the Saudi League but now there are new rumors that he will be joining the Qatar League.

If Joselu is thinking of leaving Real Madrid to join another club, I think the Saudi Pro League should be on his list. If any offer comes to him from Saudi League then I think he will accept that offer from Saudi League.

I also heard some rumors about Joselu. The first rumor was Real Madrid wanted to sign him permanently. It makes sense if Real Madrid signed him because Real Madrid only needs to spend a small amount of money. Joselu also has contributed well for Real Madrid in the last season. But since Real Madrid already signed Mbappe, Joselu may be not really needed anymore. I guess Joselu didn't want to stay in Real Madrid as a substitute player. He wants to play as a main striker, and he is also interested in the big salary from Saudi or Qatar league. So, it is normal if he wants to move to Qatar or Saudi league.

It seems that Al-Qadsiyah will want to compete for the title together with Al Nassr and Al Hilal, but Nacho is not enough for this. They need to bring better players to the team. As for Nacho, his salary seems to reflect a smile on his face. Of course, this is now an option for a player in his final stages. I think Lewandowski can also be in the SPL.

Every team wants to win the title of the league, but it won't be easy to win it. Even if Al-Qadsiyah could sign Nacho, it can't guarantee anything. Sure, they need to improve their attacking as well. Lewandowski is a good option if Lewandowski is interested to play in Al-Qadsiyah. Personally, I think Lewandowski still expects to stay in Europe.

[Leviathan.007]

Saudis tried to hire another player and this time unlike other players they decided to hire a younger player. Usually, whenever a top player decides to move to the Saudi League they would do that when they are about to end their career but now it seems Al Hilal is trying to do something new they sent an offer for a young player of Manchester United, Alejandro Garnacho.
Alejandro Garnacho is a 19-year-old player and he can have a shining future in Europe, That's why Manchester United made it clear that Alejandro Garnacho is not for sale even for a huge amount of money.
