Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[As-Soon-As]

Cristiano Ronaldo is a great prayer, he has done so well in football and he has made history in football also.
He was the reason why Saudi Arabia League is now being talked about by many people, he has made Saudi Arabia League very important in the media and he was the center of attraction, he made Saudi Arabia League what it is today.
If he succeed in getting his 1,000 goals in Saudi Arabia it will be a good one for the league because his a great player and everyone will always talk about it.
Me too it was when Cristiano Ronaldo started playing for Saudi pro League that I started knowing some team there.

Ronaldo is undoubtedly a great player with a massive fan base; indeed, the Saudi league has gained prominence precisely because he joined it, and Saudi Arabia has done a great job raising the SPL's profile. I’ve also become familiar with several Saudi clubs thanks to his move to the league. If Ronaldo manages to score 1,000 goals in the SPL, both the league and the player himself will undoubtedly become even more famous. We will have to wait and see how things unfold, though it remains to be seen whether he will perform even better in upcoming SPL matches.

Cristiano Ronaldo is only 24 goals away from reaching the 1,000-goal milestone, having scored 976 goals. But this year we certainly hope that he will be able to reach the 1,000-goal milestone in the Saudi Arabian League. Because he is still a great player, he has enough strength in his body, and he has maintained his running speed.
But he will be able to reach the 1,000-goal milestone for Al Nassr Club before he retires. Cristiano Ronaldo Since he entered the Saudi League, I have bet on many matches for Nassr, and I have been able to win. But let's see when his 1,000-goal milestone is reached, we must wait.

Ronaldo is undoubtedly a great player with a massive fan base; indeed, the Saudi league has gained prominence precisely because he joined it, and Saudi Arabia has done a great job raising the SPL's profile. I’ve also become familiar with several Saudi clubs thanks to his move to the league. If Ronaldo manages to score 1,000 goals in the SPL, both the league and the player himself will undoubtedly become even more famous. We will have to wait and see how things unfold, though it remains to be seen whether he will perform even better in upcoming SPL matches.

You meant 1,000 career goals (not 1,000 goals in the Saudi Professional League), right?

At the moment, he is at 976 (Lionel Messi at second place has 919, while Pele at third has 762). Ronaldo has already made it clear that the 2026 FIFA World Cup would be the last world cup appearance for him. And I am not sure whether he will appear for Portugal again. Some of the football association officials are already concerned about the fall in sponsorship and broadcast revenues, once Ronaldo retires from international game. That said, he has at least one season for Al Nassr remaining. That would mean a maximum of 34 matches (provided he doesn't take part in the King's Cup and AFC championships).

[BitcoinHunt3r]

Many say that Ronaldo's salary is mind-boggling, and it is certainly true but we must remember that with Ronaldo you also purchase the entire CR7 brand and all the following and advertising that follows, therefore he is a living sponsor who brings in huge revenues in addition to being the footballer we all know.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but according to what I've read, Ronaldo doesn't just receive a high salary; he also received 15% of Al Nassr's shares. It seems he's also entitled to special bonuses for winning titles. The club subsidizes his private jet and those of his personal staff, and according to what I've read, the club doesn't earn enough money to cover these high costs. In other words, the club isn't making money from Ronaldo's continued presence. they're only gaining attention. I could be wrong; I'm basing this information on this source. I believe that for 2 or 3 seasons these high costs might be acceptable because he attracts a lot of attention. But now that he's very old, these costs have started to weigh heavily on Al Nassr's finances.

I also heard that information although not an official confirmation and the agreement started from last season 2025/2026 while for next season the information I got is that all salaries and bonuses will increase by around 20% I think Ronaldo still holds the record as the highest paid player in the world. As you said Al Nassr and Saudi Pro League just need the spotlight so if Ronaldo gets older it's not a problem and regarding the club's finances, everything is fine because they have prepared everything from the start. There is nothing we can say when everything is funded by the Saudi Government through PIF (Public Investment Fund) it is predicted that this project will run until 2034 including sports projects.

It's time we begin to face the reality and change how we used to see the Saudi professional league, because these past two seasons, things have actually taken a different dimension in terms of it being an attractive league for these players to want to go there since Cristiano Ronaldo joined the league. With time we will begin to see more and more players move here without the consideration of them missing out on playing in the European competition like the Champions League, Europa Cup, Conference League, and the rest.

Yes, maybe more and more players will go to the Saudi Pro League to follow the money instead of the real European football that counts, but the truth is only one, Ronaldo brought all this visibility to the Saudi championship and once he leaves all that visibility will disappear with him, so the players will go there for a while for money but when the visibility has decreased in my opinion they will stop.

[banana33]

Because, basically, although it's true that the Saudi Arabian League is currently at a much higher level, what makes it like this is not their local players, but players from top European leagues. So, because of that, I think currently, local players in Saudi Arabia are still not developing well, because basically, many of them are not really made into main players in the Saudi Arabian League either. So, for that reason, I think it's fitting that the Saudi Arabian national team couldn't do much in the World Cup yesterday. Because basically they don't have the capacity to go far in this competition.

and in any case it is a very followed sport also in Saudi Arabia, consequently the clubs are keen to give entertainment and good news to their fans, MLS on the other hand is a championship that the Americans have only recently started to follow and it is not even among the top most followed sports in the country, sure you are in the USA and earn handsomely, but that's where it ends.

[aipercoin]

Ronaldo is currently at 976 career goals, this means he will be needing just 24 more goals to get to the 1000 goal mark, this is very much achievable in a season. In his career, they have been times he has had more than 30 goals in a single season, although he was much younger, it is still possible he gets to this number of goals this season in the Saudi league. last season he got about 30 goals for Al Nassr, so it is possible he will be able to achieve that goal margin this season.

The Saudi league sure owes some of its popularity to Ronaldo, they cannot dispute it that his arrival brought about some really good PR to the league.

It is certain that Ronaldo will beat this record next season, and a player who has never scored less than 20 goals in a season since he became a professional, and now that he sees his goal so close he will work even harder to reach this crazy record that will rightfully belong to the No. 1 Legend of football played.

[changaa]

Cristiano Ronaldo has helped the Saudi Professional league grow due to his arrival at the Al Nassr Club, this made the league received the attention from all over the globe. But in my opinion even if Cristiano Ronaldo retire or leaves Saudi League, they will still be that attention but definitely it will reduce drastically. The way Saudi Arabia Clubs are trying to get young European star players won't let people forget about the league. Look at the offer Al Ahli placed on Vinicius junior 1 billion euro, I don't there's there's any league that will offer him that kind of money. So I'm very sure if Ronaldo leaves, Saudi league will continue chasing big names from European leagues.

1 billion and a crazy amount for the purchase of a single player, so i ask myself why? and much more than a club can earn from winning the championship or from winning all the competitions put together, why pay so much knowing you are only at a loss for one player? When Ronaldo leaves he will take all the visibility with him.

[GIF-JOBS]

Honestly Ronaldo have put the Saudi league on another level, since his arrival we have seen a lot of players move to the Saudi league, they are not just getting old players but also good quality young players. Well if he retires I want to believe the Saudi football association have something on ground for him, to keep him in the environment at least.

Reaching a 1000 goal is now the goal for Ronaldo, he needs a season on 2 to get it and I believe he will do it. He his a man that his determine, a man that loves chasing and breaking records. Reaching a 1000 goals is next for cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo has a lot of contribution behind the popularity of Saudi league. I myself do not know much about Saudi league, even before I never watched any Saudi league game, but because of Ronaldo I started watching Saudi league games. Anyway, I now hope Ronaldo can achieve this big milestone in his life very soon.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are the only players who have a total number of goals of 900+, and among them, Cristiano Ronaldo is now the only and first in history to achieve the milestone of 1000 goals very soon, I do not know if Lionel Messi can also achieve the milestone of 1000, Cristiano Ronaldo needs only 24 goals to achieve the milestone of 1000 goals, and Lionel Messi still needs 81 goals, so I am not sure about Messi, but I am sure that Cristiano Ronaldo will do it very soon.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Who knows how things will go, Ronaldo certainly automatically leads to an influx of views and interest towards this championship having been "the pioneer" who went to the Saudi Pro League, then players like Benzemà followed him, however at the end of their careers to put as much money in their pockets as possible before retiring.

I wouldn't retire yet if I were CR7. I would fulfill my dream of playing alongside my son. That's what I would do, regardless of what people say. I would do it. In the end, it's his happiness, not anyone else's. Let others criticize. We have to accept that more than 90% of the population aren't good people, that everyone wants to see you down, that they want to see you fail. That's the way the world is now, that's how bad it is. So we have to do what makes us happy, what makes us happy without hurting anyone. I think CR7 should make it possible.

It seems like not many Saudi Arabian League teams are currently making player purchases. I don't know why, but it doesn't seem like it usually is. Usually, the big teams in the Saudi Arabian League are very agile in finding new players and bringing them in. But currently, there's not much activity in the transfer market. Even Al Nasr hasn't brought in a single new player. As we know,, Al Nasr desperately needs a defender.

Their defense isn't very good at the moment,, so signing a defender would be a very wise move. But so far, there hasn't been any movement at Al Nasr. So, is Al Nasr still confident in the players they have now? Basically, if Al Nasr wants to continue competing well in the coming season, they definitely need to improve their defense. Because currently, that's the only gap Al Nasr must really close. So what do you think about this.

There are some rumours at least about Al-Nassr. I heard that Cristiano Ronaldo is trying to influence the team and impose his choices. There are rumours about Cristiano Ronaldo being in talk directly with Bruno Fernandes. I saw rumours about other midfielders like Youssouf Fofana and Samu Costa. I didn't see anything about the defence position. There is enough time to select some options in my opinion. Well, I suppose players prefer a calm zone, far from the war in the gulf region.

I stand to be corrected as I try to reel out some figures here based on my little research. I am trying to establish the possibility of Ronaldo completing his 1000 career goal target before the end of this next season which is most likely his last season of playing as a professional footballer. From the records I checked, Ronaldo was able to score up to35 goals in the 2023-24 season setting the record of most goals in a single SPL season. Link here. So if we go by this achievement alone, without even touching on goals he scored during his very active years as a player. The highest I think he ever got was 69 goals total for club and country combined in 2011-12 season. So if we are going by his abilities to make goals and what he was able to do with the Al Nassr in the 2023 2024 season, we can be rest assured he will complete his career goals in the next season.

Am a Messi fan and I have to be honest, I don't think Messi will reach 1000 goals at this stage of his career. Bro might get 985 goals and retire, he doesn't need that 1000 goals record. Even if he wants to try his possible mean to hit that target, he will need 3 extra season where he will score 30+ in each ones. He currently at 919 goals + 90 (3 seasons)= 1,009 goals. I am not 100% sure Messi is fit enough to score 30+ goals in 3 seasons. His contract at Inter Miami ends in  2028+1 extra year , and by that time his physicality and form would have reduced significantly.  It's easy for Ronaldo to break that record, he can even do it in this season alone, because he only needs 24+ goals. In terms of probability I will give Ronaldo 100% and Messi 60%.

The Saudi league appears generous with their pay and wages players get, we all know that it is usually a serious point of attraction to players because in as much as they are playing for passion,  they also want to get good pay to help them take care of bills and maintain the life style that fits their status at this time. If Ronaldo exits or retires from his team, I do not think it will actually cause the visibility of the team to disappear at once.  There are other catchy players and things about the league,  and the league has been developing really good,  so they most definitely will be able to maintain a good level of the attention,  even as some of it will eventually drop, but it will not be as bad as you are saying it, so I think.

Yes,, if we're talking about goals, it's clear that the player who has the potential to reach 1,000 goals is Ronaldo. As we know,, Ronaldo is just a few steps away from breaking that record. As you said, Ronaldo can indeed achieve his goal this season, as there are many matches he will play in. Furthermore, as we know in the Saudi Arabian League and the Asian Champions League, Ronaldo always scores many goals in every match.

So,, with that in mind, I'm very confident that Ronaldo will definitely be able to score 1,000 goals this season. Speaking of Messi, I'm also not sure how long he will continue playing. If he only plays for another season or two, I'm sure the 1,000-goal target is clearly too far for him. Therefore,, I also feel that it will be very difficult for Messi to score 1,000 goals. But this is just a prediction, so let's see what Messi can do now.

[snipie]

I heard that some Saudi Pro League teams had a lot of changes like Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli presidents quitting either for personal reasons or to try their chance in the Saudi federation for Al-Ahli president.
I read also that a team had 10 players quitting at the same time because their contracts or loans ended this season. I believe it was Damac.
These changes might drive teams to recruit other names as coaches or players.

Yes, Ronaldo’s move to the Saudi league paved the way for other players to join; however, one thing must not be forgotten: the money offered here is unparalleled globally. Footballers do this to earn money, not for the sheer enjoyment of the game. Moreover, the Saudi league is not particularly challenging. It is certain that more players will come here, even after Ronaldo retires.
The World Cup took place this year, causing the transfer market to be sluggish; however, players who have proven themselves in Europe will soon start arriving here.
So far, Summerville has been the most high-profile signing, but since the transfer window remains open until September, I anticipate that other famous footballers will also arrive.

Well, take it or leave it, saudi league is more competitive than some top league in Europe, let take the french league for example. We saw how competitive the Saudi league was last season, how they had to battle for the title till the very last day. I know most people still think the league is been flushed by money but then I would say most players who are seeking playing time Also find saudi league as an alternative.

Ronaldo have made a huge impact in the Saudi league, he has made a lot of big and quality players see reason what they should be in the league. If he retires for sure the league won’t be the same, but the Saudi league will never be where it was before he came.

You take me a little by surprise regarding Ronaldo's future, i know that he agreed to renew for a year with al nassr, because his family is also very happy in this championship, but i believed that after the history with al nassr and after reaching the historic record of 1000 goals he wanted to return to portugal..

[yixichloro2xx]

According to Kalshi official account on X Al Nassr are reported to have incur $1billon debts, which will make them unable to sign players. This takes me back to last season during January transfer window, where the team (Al Nassr ) was complaining about the PIF not being unfair to them for not releasing funds to be able to sign players during that Benzema to Al Hilal saga. I feel this team will start looking for possible ways to reduce their wage structures, because alot players there are earning 2x the money they earned in Europe. They just won the league, I expected them to make more signings so that they can compete in other competitions like AFC champions league. This is crazy , imagine seeing their big rivals making big signings during this summer to strengthen their squad while Al Nasser will be relying on the current players they have available.
