Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

When Al Hilal had victory against Manchester City ppl accepted SPL's got talent & skills to beat the best teams. European players don't want to play in SPL because they want to make it stronger they're going because they'll get more money.

AlHilal victory against Manchester City was indeed a remarkable one, because when fans was underating AlHilal ability as a Saudi club, AlHilal,by defeating Manchester City in a full time game was able to prove alot of People wrong by making a difference that Saudi teams are strong. European Stars are racing to join the Saudis clubs because of money,also making the league more popular and interesting to watch. You're also right,AlHilal needs to buy additional quality players into the team to enable them compete more effectively against other clubs next season. Every new season in the Saudi league is always more tougher to compete than the previous ones,so I believe next season will be more intense for AlHilal to compete ,I think AlHilal players have to work very hard to improve on their fitness, although there performance at the club world cup was satisfactory but that's not enough as the Saudi league could be more tougher next season than expected. Early preparations, rigorous training to keeps the team on form need to be taken serious.

Cristiano's signed a mega contract to stay at Al Nassr. Al Ahli's trying to sign Messi from Inter Miami because his contract's going to end in Dec 25. If Cristiano & Messi play in SPL it's going to big news. Inter Miami say they hope he's going to stay but they can't offer Messi mega contracts.

If Messi could be brought in by Al Ahli, the Saudi Arabian League would undoubtedly become even more exciting and popular worldwide. Because the rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi has never faded, even though they no longer play in the same league. So, one can only imagine what would happen if these two players became rivals on the pitch again.

Cristiano Ronaldo is an important sign by Al-Nassr in the Saudi pro league. And Al -Nassr paid him heavy wages beside the fact that there are no significant achievements of Al-Nassr in the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo. The reason for his highly paid is the position where Ronaldo is standing by collecting all the achievements from his entire record. And now the rumors about another significant addition in the saudi pro league by Al-Ahli as they are trying to get Messi in their club. If this effort got success then i think it is not impossible to imagine the worthiness and popularity of the Saudi pro league. Because both are strong players with huge support from their fans. And their authenticity stands they are crossing the age limits and still favourites for major signing. Messi's addition is not confirmed yet as per reports his family is not willing to shift in saudi Arab as there is a clear difference of the culture.

Nico Gonzalez is not part of the Juventus project anymore, and let's not forget that next year there is going to be the World Cup: if he doesn't leave Juventus then he'll probably miss it because he won't play many matches in Italy. Right now some Saudi team is very interested in him, I don't know about other European teams so right now the choice is between not playing at Juventus or going to play and make a ton of money in Saudi Arabia. The choice should be quite simple.

I must say that I am surprised to see Nico Gonzales being linked with the exit door only just signed back in January of this year, this has to be false news because I have not seen any statements from City so far about this and I doubt City will want to let him leave barely one year into his stay at the club.

[Volgastallion]

Retegui is now Official for a deal of 65m€.
Next one from Serie A could be Nico Gonzales, actually from Juventus.
Atletico Madrid is on the player but he could end in Saudi for around 30m€

I dont know if Nico Gonzales this season wants to go into Saudi Arabia, i mean he is still one substitute in the national team and going to Saudi Arabia can make for him lose a little bit of level and maybe the coach start to no call him for the national team, maybe he needs to talk with the coach and see if him guarantee a spot on the national team despite going to arabia.

For me this season he stay on europe and the next one he goes to this league.

Nico Gonzalez is not part of the Juventus project anymore, and let's not forget that next year there is going to be the World Cup: if he doesn't leave Juventus then he'll probably miss it because he won't play many matches in Italy.

The choice should be quite simple.

Sorry to point this, butm the main think now is, Is any Juventus prject between us?

I mean Juvetus is running spniless in circles from some season, they want to start to build something but season after season they fail to achieve that. The main problem was the reinforcement never reach the level and the base team still bad.

Abot Nico Gonzales i hope the best for him, no matter if is Saudi or other location.

Unfortunately, Ronaldo has yet to give a Saudi Arabia league trophy for Al-Nassr since joining. While his presence and that of other top European players has impacted the Saudi league, I believe he still want to give a league title for the club. This is really hard for Ronaldo to achieve if Al-Nassr unable to bring another players that able to make Ronaldo easier to play. Meanwhile, Messi has already won a title with Inter Miami. Maybe this isn't important to Ronaldo about Messi's achievement, but achieving the trophy with Al-Nassr will remain a priority for him before he retires.

Juventus used to be one of the biggest clubs in Europe. But poor management has led to some poor seasons and they failed to qualify for any European competitions last season. They ended the season in tenth position. Igor Tudor's major task now is to bring back the Old Lady to the Champions League.

Missing a European competition could also be an opportunity for Juventus to focus more on the Serie A. At least the experience in the Club World Competition, where they lost to Real Madrid and Manchester City, should have given the coach what to do as the new season starts.

If a player come into a team and perform below standards then it's the choice of his team to try loan him to where he'll get playing time and improve or sell him completely you shouldn't be surprised about that cause it's the norms except the team is like Manchester United who keep flops  in their bench and keep paying them heavily.

There are also Atletico Madrid, who are also interested in him, but it is quite surprising that the newly imported players must immediately leave the team, whether on loan or for sale.
Nico Gonzales experienced problems and injuries in his debut match with Man City. This seems to affect his performance there. Actually, it is not unusual for a player to finally be sold or loaned to another club, it is because their performance is not as expected.

Currently shifting to Saudi Arab is not sure because few changes are happening in Serie A which are more interesting despite having Saudi League interest into Nico Gonzalez Juventus wants to sell him for having Sancho.

Inter Milan is looking for Ademola Lookman and talk is going between both clubs if this happens then Atlanta also needed their best option is Nico Gonzalez which is surely going to have better chances at Atlanta instead of Juventus then Saudi League could be not priority for him. Even this is also going to be not bad if he wants to do something special for having his option into national team but most chances he will love to stay in Serie A for his better future and good game.

When Al Hilal defeated Manchester City and the margin of defeat was very high, we expected more from Al Hilal in the Club World Cup, but in their next match, Al Hilal tried but could not bring the result in their favor. What they did was the highest and more than expected, after the start of the season, when Manchester City became Al Hilal's opponent, we thought that maybe Al Hilal's journey was over here because we did not think in any way that Al Hilal could defeat Manchester City, but Al Hilal defeated Manchester City. If Al Hilal works more with their club and recruits some more players, their performance will improve and they will make more names from the Saudi league.

The victory in this match proves that Al Hilal has made significant progress in terms of strategy, improved coordination among players, maintained game rhythm, and the quality of the players themselves. If we think about it more deeply, no one would have expected a club like Al Hilal to be able to defeat a European giant (Manchester City). However, the ball is round, and anything can happen on the field; every team has an equal chance to score goals and secure victory. As you mentioned, Al Hilal must continue to invest in recruiting quality players to strengthen the team's foundation. It is not impossible that one day Al Hilal could become a club respected in both Asia and Europe.

They pay Ronaldo well because he's not only a good player, but also a global promoter of the league.
They prefer this league because it offers good pay for established star players. Perhaps in 3-5 years, younger players will join the league as well.
The Arabs are very wealthy due to their oil resources, and if they continue like this, they will make this league one of the leading leagues in Europe.
I think Al Hilal also did quite well in the FIFA Club World Cup.

I think there is a grand portion of credit which directly goes to Cristiano Ronaldo to make this league as popular as it is today. Because the following of the Ronaldo is beyond the borders. People love him overall in the world. And i think the main purpose of hiring Ronaldo with heavy wages is only to attract the world towards this league. Because since Cristiano Ronaldo is the part of Al-Nassr there are no significant titles or goals scored by Ronaldo. But still the management wants to keep him the part of their club is only the indication that he is in the league as a pull factor for the world. And as per rumors if Al-Ahli gets success to sign messi then i think this league will be unmatchable. Because both are great players with huge fan following.

[bitgolden]

Retegui is a great deal for Saudi league. Didn't expected him to move to Al Qadisiyah, I expected him to move to some team like Hilal or Ittihad or Nassr like the big clubs. But even in this case, he is making the team better.

A yearly 20 million salary is not a small feat, plus it is going to be 4 years, so that's a 80 million deal. For a kid in Italy, getting 80 million, even after expenses, is such a huge amount for money. He is going to be amazing, without a doubt. I am sure that we are going to get great results from him, he is going to battle for the top scorer this season. Ronaldo has been fighting for that every year, this year it is going to be tough for Ronaldo because Retegui is a great scorer already, and can repeat that success here.

So the point is that the people who are responsible for the Saudi Arabian league are indeed very smart and also willing to sacrifice. Because they are able to utilize the financial resources they have to advance the football league in their country.

You are absolutely right, in fact AL Hilal did a great job in the club world championship and although it is not CR7's club, for me it is a club that showed that this football is at a high level, now the Saudi League has been growing by leaps and bounds in a short time, in the period from now until the World Cup they should be much better prepared, so what the Saudis are doing is very intelligent, I really take my hat off to them.

Al Hilal surprised me with their performance in the Club World Cup because I believed the Saudi Pro League wasn’t club would not go far or do well competing against the best European teams but they proved me wrong especially when they knocked Manchester City out of the competition it was then I realised they were a very good team and I see why they have dominated their league.

Am was not really surprised about the performance of this al hilal team because they are one side that has quality and with the way that they have been spending big money in making sure that they land some of the best players from Europe it showed that they mean business and can compete at the highest level.



One thing that people fail to know is that there is no much difference between the saudi league and the European leagues because the gap is not too much so people should not be underrating the Saudi league because there is quality in the league

Who did? That was one game that got lucky, that's it. Put them in UCL and they would not even make it to top 24, let alone to anything further. Just because they got lucky one game, doesn't make them that much better, if anyone assumes Al Hilal is better than City, they do not know of football.

I understand they are not as bad as they used to be, like 10 years ago they were bad, they are now better, but they are not THAT much better, not good enough to compete against European teams. Of course it depends on the European team, like if we are talking about teams outside of top 10 big leagues, then yeah they can easily compete.

I took was also surprised in their performance against the European teams, frankly I didn't expect the win against Manchester City. Yes, Al Hilal is a very good side in their league but I didn't expect them to go toe to toe with City especially, even eliminating them in the process. If they continue in the manner at which they played in this CWC, they will certainly win the league from the previous champions which is Al Littihad.

Al-Hilal did a good job in the FIFA Club World Cup at the time where their performance wasn't optimal in the Saudi Pro League.
There is still Saudi Super Cup to fight for, Al-Qadisiyah is their opponent which is quite decent team this season but after we all saw in the international competition then I assume most of us will support Al-Hilal.
For the transfer window, I didn't see interesting purchase except for Theo Hernandez coming from AC Milan.

Who's arguing about Al Hilal been the better team over Manchester City? We should just presume that they got lucky to eliminate Manchester City in the club world cup and still ended up been knocked out by Fluminense. It was a very abstracting game to watch AI Hilal doing the magi and eliminating one of the top favorites team to win the Club World Cup. Football results comes with thrilling emotions I must confess.

Who doesn't have a clue about Football? We know it's been a long run for Chelsea but what made it more special was watching the Blues beating all odds to win Paris Saint-Germain in the club world cup final. They didn't just beat them but humiliated PSG 3 nil in the grand finale.

Al Hilal's performance in the World Cup was indeed excellent, and we can't deny that. However, in my personal opinion, even though Al Hilal performed very well in the World Cup, that doesn't guarantee they will perform well in the Saudi Arabian League. Because, I personally think next season's Saudi Arabian League will be much tighter. Because big teams like Al Ittihad, Al Nasr, Al Qadisiyah, and also Al Ahli will certainly strengthen their squads to be even better. So, it certainly won't be easy for Al Hilal to win the Saudi Arabian League.

Because I believe that if Al Hilal were replaced by Al Ittihad when facing Manchester City, Al Ittihad would most likely also beat Manchester City. Because in my personal opinion, Al Ittihad's current performance is slightly better than Al Hilal. So with that in mind, I don't think it will be easy for Al Hilal to win the Saudi Arabian League title next season. Besides Al Ittihad, Al Ahli is also not to be underestimated. This team won the Asian Champions League last season. So, with that in mind, their performance will undoubtedly be excellent next season. So, given this, I don't think Al Hilal's chances of winning the Saudi Arabian League next season are too great.

I agree, Al Hilal were fortunate to beat Manchester City, although they were surprisingly defeated by Fluminense. Chelsea success in winning the Club World Cup was the culmination of all the surprises, defeating PSG, the much fancied Champions League holders. Admittedly, football is full of surprises, there's no guarantee that the favored team will finish the match as predicted.
