Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

I only see envy and nothing more. If Al Nassr gives Ronaldo such power and they listen to his decisions, it shows that Ronaldo is not take as a player anymore but as part of the board of advisors for the club. That's what I think, if not Ronaldo wouldn't be given such power. Ronaldo is a super figure in football and he talks by experience, and he's highly influential.

Well Cristiano Ronaldo has his role far beyond only as a player and therefore he has a big say at Al-Nassar. He secured a 15% ownership stake in Al-Nassar and with this move he becomes effectively a stakeholder and therefore he would be playing with much more interest, isn't ? I think his His dual role can be beneficial to the club as well as to Ronaldo. He has a big influence on the sporting decisions at his club.
Also i heard that he has a private jet access and his earnings are tax free. He is having some real benefits from Saudi Professional League

Ronaldo is known from the early days of his career to have had some level of influence on his clubs and national team. He sometimes influences the players and coaches that the club management hires. This is also the case in Al Nassr. It is believed that he was behind the sacking of coach Stefano Pioli and the replacement with Jorge Jesus. He also used his reputation to influence the sacking of the club's CEO Majed Jamaan Al-Sorour and he also made sure the club replaced him with his close friend Jose Semedo.

Former Saudi Arabian Football Federation Spokesman, Mohammed Al-Sheikh, has frowned at this excess power given to the Portuguese captain. Al-Sheikh appreciates Ronaldo's positive contributions to the SPL but he thinks that his powers should have limits.

Mohammed Al-Sheikh, the SAFF spokesman, former, is just overreacting and this can lead to some disunity in the club if some persons decides to take his statements as anything for thought. Ronaldo is one player that is graciously blessed with influencial lifestyle and his aura follows him to whichever club he plays for. His presence in the Al Nasr club has undoubtedly promoted not just the club but the Saudi league attracting both young and advanced players across Europe to the league. Saying Al Nassr is giving Ronaldo too much power just makes it look as if the Al Nassr's management don't know what they're doing with the club in terms of decision making.

Linda is right the statement is quite over reaching and for that shouldn't be entertained and should be countered by other prominent figures in the Saudi Arabian leagues because he have overstep what motivation is and have shown a lot of disintegration to the growth of the Saudi Arabian pro league side, this should be someone that could be a figure and point of motivation considering his previous position as a spoke person of the federation, Christina Ronaldo have indeed done well this season checking the record his club made in the last season.

That's what I think, if not Ronaldo wouldn't be given such power. Ronaldo is a super figure in football and he talks by experience, and he's highly influential.

At the age of 40, he should no longer be a player, but instead be on the sidelines to pioneer a career as a coach. But unfortunately, this megastar from Portugal has never shown his interest in becoming a coach, and on the other hand, many people still want to continue watching his progress on the field, there are still many clubs and leagues that need him to continue to play, because he has a very big appeal in the world of football and sports. Indeed, the club that wants to sign him and must spend a lot of money, and meet the requirements put forward by the player, which makes CR7 more than just a player. But on the other hand, with CR7's presence at Al Nassr, his presence has also provided many benefits for the club and the Saudi Arabian league.

I'd love to see Ronaldo become a manager after he retires, and I think a lot of people feel the same way. He might be just as great as a manager. After renewing his contract with Al Nassr, we can continue to watch him play for the next two seasons. Without a doubt, Ronaldo is like a magnet in the Saudi Pro League, he has a huge influence on its development. We probably wouldn't talk about the Saudi Pro League as often if Ronaldo wasn't there, his presence has brought about a major change. It makes sense that Ronaldo wants a bigger influence at Al Nassr, including in the transfer market, he is still very ambitious to win many trophies in the future.

Ronaldo brought SPL to the lime light based on his influence in football. I don't know why someone wil sit down and start saying all sort of things about Ronaldo influencing Al Nassr when he has already influenced the entire SPL with his outstanding performance. Of course, it will be lovely to see him as a coach but I don't think that he wants that.

Everyone knows how much Ronaldo has played in making the Saudi league known worldwide. He has been very closely involved in the league since the beginning. With Ronaldo's presence, the international media has also paid special attention to the Saudi league. I am not sure yet that he will be given 15 percent by Al Nassr, but if this is true, I think it is also a good decision. He will try to give more to the teams. Football was not very well known in the Middle East and I think this player has made a huge contribution to all this. Maybe now there will be more famous players in the league, but the time Ronaldo has been in the team was definitely an important time. Even now, his face value is high. The Saudi government has given him various benefits including private jet access, luxury cars, free income from taxes. It is believed that the Saudi government may also make him a brand ambassador for Vision 2030 in the future, although there is no guarantee of this, but there is a possibility.

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.

Saying they were fortunate to beat Manchester city sounded like some sort of luck meanwhile in the actual sense they did earned it, their performance in the game was classic and deserving of the win, the surprise I see for me here is in their defeat against Fluminense, after they won Manchester City,  ordinarily it was excepted of them that they were going to have their confidence boosted and they will be in a very food position to typically win a game like that without seeing it as really challenging but how they lost and got kicked out against a smaller team as compared to the one they won much before made it somehow surprising but then that is football.

It is certainly true that Al-Hilal Football Club was able to defeat Manchester City by sheer luck because from there everyone thought they might be off to a breakthrough start but losing the rhythm of this club and their defeat against Fluminense Club was probably very objectionable to other teams in the Saudi League. This Saudi Pro League team may have had a classic style to their game when they pulled off an incredible win over Manchester City as a result, they delivered a great result for everyone in that Club World Cup match despite the uncertainty. In any case after the Club World Cup, this Saudi club will probably move forward with proper preparations for the upcoming season.

That's what I think, if not Ronaldo wouldn't be given such power. Ronaldo is a super figure in football and he talks by experience, and he's highly influential.

I think Ronaldo knows his limit, he won't use his right in an excessive way. And I think Al Nassr board did this because they know Ronaldo deserves it. Ronaldo is the best player in the world, he is Al Nassr captain. Ronaldo must know well about football, he understands how to build a strong squad. Even if Ronaldo doesn't get a special rights in Al Nassr, Al Nassr board should still ask him to make certain decisions. So, I think there is nothing wrong with the decision of Al Nassr board to give Ronaldo such power.

I also believe that even though he's been given a lot of authority in internal matters, I'm confident he'll use it professionally and know his limits. The board of directors certainly does this because he's a great player with extensive football experience, and the authority he's been given is certainly for the good of the club.

I remember when Ronaldo was at Manchester United, in several interviews, he criticized the club for not developing due to numerous unresolved internal issues. When he revealed these issues, he was eventually removed from the club. But now, what Manchester United is experiencing proves that they're struggling to develop due to unresolved internal issues. Ronaldo isn't just a footballer; he knows what needs to be done within a team to be strong, especially if there are internal issues, which will certainly impact the team as a whole. Therefore, the authority given by the board is not excessive, considering his considerable experience, which ultimately serves the club's progress and well-being.

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the important player in the club, we know how thrilling this particular player performance have been, a unique one that have explore more greater features for the club Al Nassr. The team's board are satisfied and confident offering him this crucial offer that's gigantic and valuable, this type of contract is very rare in the game called football.

Ronaldo doesn't have a problem with the club, he will deliver the team when it time, he always know how to couple up with them and doing what he does best, scoring goals for the club. Ronaldo will forever remained the club's best player since there's absolutely nobody confident of competing with him.

Everybody knows that Ronaldo has a good intention on the league he is playing, is not even about the money but he doesn't take the club for a joke and he also devoted his best to his club and also making sure everyone is relevant on there own way, so actually the magnitude of respect they have for him is big because he draws all there players close to him and motivate them when they lose opportunities to look up to see what is ahead of them, so actually the man is building a legacy in Saudi Arabia that would still make them to come back for him after retiring for football to further extend his skills on the league.

Cristiano's got a mega contract so he's got power. He's been given money & shares in Al Nassr but other SPL players don't get mega contracts like Cristiano. It isn't fair but SPL doesn't give equal payments. Some ppl won't like his new mega contract because Al Nassr's given him money other players can't get.

I think what Ronaldo did for Al Nasr was also for the good of the team. As far as I know, Ronaldo is a very honest person and is completely committed to the team he plays for. So, if Ronaldo sees something wrong with the team he plays for, he will immediately act and fix it so that the team can develop further. Because, fundamentally, Ronaldo is a great player with a wealth of experience, so he certainly understands how to build a team that can win championships. So, it's only natural that he would provide advice to Al Nasr regarding issues that Ronaldo believes need to be resolved immediately. So, I don't think Ronaldo's actions were wrong. In essence, Al Nasr agreed to it. So, I don't think anyone should object to this.

Furthermore, when Al Nasr extended Ronaldo's contract, all of Ronaldo's requests and conditions were agreed to by Al Nasr. So, why do some people feel this action was wrong? In fact, they weren't harmed by Ronaldo's behavior at Al Nasr. Players on any team have the right to provide feedback, and that's exactly what Ronaldo did. He did this because he truly cared about Al Nasr and wanted to lead them to victory in the Saudi Arabian League. So, with that in mind, it's only natural that Ronaldo is truly committed to Al Nasr.

He has good intentions for the league but he is also playing because of money. Ronaldo earns £3.42 million per week which is about £178 million per year. I think this is the biggest amount he has ever earned in his career. Yes, he has influenced the Saudi Professional League positively and attracted more quality players to the league, but he has also benefited from the League. Ronaldo has always wanted to control coaches and have influence over player selections. This was why he always fell out with many coaches, and he has started the same thing on the SPL. I think he should not have unlimited authority in the club, there should be some level of restrictions.

Nice description for the situation because saying that Cristiano Ronaldo is not caring about the money is something that doesn't make sense otherwise he wouldn't be in Saudi Pro League in the first place.
The place, the weather, his family future, everything isn't attractive there if not the money. Of course he influenced many other players and was like the light in the dark for the Saudi Pro League which made it an international and famous league, even better than many European ones.
He will continue there until his performance drop or could find a better deal even with a lower budget.

[arabspaceship123]

If Messi's going to join SPL he's going to get a mega contract. Cristiano's new contract with Al Nassr's given him power & wealth so if Al Ahli want Messi they'll have to offer Messi a mega contract. His family likes Miami it's home for his wife & kids so Messi's going to change their lives if he's going to SPL.

Italy striker Retegui joins Al-Qadsiah from Atalanta

July 21 (Reuters) - Italian striker Mateo Retegui has joined Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah from Atalanta, both clubs said on Monday, with Italian media reports saying last season's Serie A top scorer has signed a four-year contract.
No financial details were released, but Italian media said that the fee paid is in the region of 65 million euros ($76.01 million) which would make Retegui the most expensive Italian player.

Retegui spent just one season at Atalanta, signing from Genoa as a replacement for the injured Gianluca Scamacca, and went on to score 25 league goals to help the club to a third-place finish.
"The Percassi family, the Pagliuca family and the entire Nerazzurri club sincerely thank Mateo for the extraordinary contribution he made last season and wish him the best for the continuation of his sporting career and for his future," the club said in a statement.

The Argentine-born Retegui qualified to play for Italy through his grandparents, and was called up by Roberto Mancini in 2023, scoring on his debut in a 2-1 defeat by England. The 26-year-old has six international goals in 20 appearances.
Gabon striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left the Saudi club on Thursday, having scored 21 goals in 36 matches in all competitions in his one season at Al-Qadsiah.

Well, looking at the whole situation I don't see anything wrong in that because we have seen some players given such respect in Europe so I think they only did that out of respect for him for all he have done for them so far. He didn't force them to do that it's their own decision so I don't see anything wrong in that.

Well Cristiano Ronaldo has his role far beyond only as a player and therefore he has a big say at Al-Nassar. He secured a 15% ownership stake in Al-Nassar and with this move he becomes effectively a stakeholder and therefore he would be playing with much more interest, isn't ? I think his His dual role can be beneficial to the club as well as to Ronaldo. He has a big influence on the sporting decisions at his club.
Also i heard that he has a private jet access and his earnings are tax free. He is having some real benefits from Saudi Professional League 

It will not only be beneficial to Al Nassr alone but the league in general, his influence on the league have been very immense  so I think it is well deserved, Ronaldo's presence in the team alone is something else and I think they are just trying to repay the favours he did them. I don't think a player like Ronaldo will misuse that opportunity at all.

Al Qadsiah represented the Saudi Pro League in creating a sensation, stealing the public attention in this transfer window by successfully signing one of the best strikers in Serie A. Atalanta profited significantly from the sale of Retegui, breaking the transfer record previously held by Tonali when he moved to Newcastle. I think everyone can guess Retegui motivation for moving to Saudi Arabia, the lure of a high salary is hard for any player to resist.

With Retegui signing, Al Qadsiah will be a team to be reckoned with in the race for trophies next season. Last season, they finished fourth in the standings. Aubameyang returned to Marseille, he only lasted one season in Saudi. I think the very young Retegui can easily replace the role left by Aubameyang, the Italian striker seems to be able to live up to expectations.

Here we need to remember that Al Qadsiah is not one of the clubs under the sponsorship of the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF). Therefore they don't have a lot of funds available with them. This club is based in Dhammam and is owned by Saudi Aramco. It is encouraging that such a club is spending a huge amount of money (€65 million) on Mateo Retegui. This will improve the competitiveness of the league, and will decrease the gap between the clubs sponsored by the PIF and the rest.

Saudi Aramco is a state-owned oil firm. So it could be said that  Al Qadsiah is still under government sponsorship. This deal makes Mateo Retegui the most expensive ever Italian player. The move of this 26-year-old Italian striker might be for money since he would be earning about €20million per season.

He has been part of the Italian national team, and nobody knows how this move will affect his chances of playing for Gli Azzurri under the new coach Gennaro Gattuso. It is a big win for the Saudi Pro League because Mateo Retegui is good player that will contribute to the quality and development of the growing League.

What you say is true. If Ronaldo provides excessive input, it will appear as if he isn't a player, but rather someone in charge of Al Nasr. However, this is undeniable, because according to existing reports, Ronaldo currently owns a share of Al Nasr's profits. I forget the percentage, but the point is, this means that Ronaldo can be indirectly said to be part of Al Nasr now. Therefore, it's natural for Ronaldo to provide considerable advice to those in charge at Al Nasr, because Ronaldo is indeed part of Al Nasr.

Therefore, I don't think we need to worry about this. Because if Ronaldo is given more authority by Al Nasr, we have no right to envy him. This is indeed an agreement or deal Ronaldo made with Al Nasr. Because, as we know, if Al Nasr doesn't fulfill all the conditions proposed by Ronaldo when his contract is extended, it's highly likely that Ronaldo will not agree to stay at Al Nasr. So, yes, that's the current reality. So, we all have to accept all the facts.

I think the very young Retegui can easily replace the role left by Aubameyang, the Italian striker seems to be able to live up to expectations.

Unbelievable, Al‑Qadsiah success signing top talented Italy's national team forward Mateo Retegui from Atalanta, Serie A top scorer last season easily accepted offer from Al‑Qadsiah as usually any player interested for joining Al Hilal, Al Nassr and Al Ahly. Good approach did by Al‑Qadsiah management how to sign top players and spending around 65 million euro for fees transfer, its the best replacing after Al‑Qadsiah leaving by Aubameyang due his contract expiring and return back to Marseille.

Last season, Mateo Retegui become Serie A top scorer by scoring 28 goals, 8 assist of 36 appearances and success bring Atalanta finished at the top 3rd standings awhile get qualifying to UEFA Champion League. I think Mateo Retegui will bring huge impact for Al‑Qadsiah perform quite well at Saudi Pro League and getting the tittle race with Al Hilal, Al Ittihad or Al Nassr.
