Al Nassr did give an extraordinary contract to Cristiano Ronaldo, in this case no one can imagine that at his age which is no longer prime, Ronaldo can get such a big offer, it is truly extraordinary.

The SPL is indeed a very crazy league, they do not hesitate to make high offers for players who they think are good and worthy of being drawn to play for the club, one of which is Neymar and Benzema, both top players in their time.

It does not rule out the possibility of Messi accepting a contract from Al Ahli, of course Messi will definitely get a big offer, besides all that, currently the Saudi League is consistently building its football, it is likely that more and more top European players will be interested in playing in the Saudi League, very likely.

Yes, the Saudi Arabian league teams are willing to pay top European players high fees. I think this is an extraordinary move. It truly reflects their desire to advance their football league. By bringing in top players from Europe, they will certainly achieve results much faster than starting without doing so. Therefore, we should commend the actions taken by the Saudi Arabian league teams. Basically, not all football leagues in the world dare to take actions like Saudi Arabia's.

Even other wealthy countries like Qatar are reluctant to take actions like the Saudi Arabian league. Even though Qatar is no less wealthy than Saudi Arabia, they might think twice about doing such a thing. Essentially, the actions taken by the Saudi Arabian league teams are very risky. The risk is that after spending large sums of money to pay top European players, the results will not be long-term. Because, essentially, if players like Ronaldo, brought into the Saudi Arabian league, retire, the league's popularity could likely decline again. But the point is, the Saudi Arabian league seems prepared to face all of that.

It is nothing more than just using money to increase not only tourism, but also the level they stand. Saudi Arabic teams, mostly, are either owned by the king himself, or at least people around him, so it is not like you or I can go and buy a team there, most of the time that doesn't happen.

It means, oil is paying for all of these players and they have way too much oil, and I mean like they can literally cover the need of whole world if they desired, surely their oil fields would dry up quicker in that situation, but they have that much oil. Not many nations can say that. And for a nation that small, what are they going to do with all that money? Football seemed like a good thing, it is entertaining and fun, so if you have money, why not use it for something fun?

Yes, I agree with you. Essentially, with its abundant oil resources, Saudi Arabia is indeed very wealthy, and it's only natural that a country as advanced as that ultimately seeks entertainment. Football is indeed a highly entertaining sport and is enjoyed by many. That's why the Saudi Arabian League does this. They're not just watching football; they want to see many star players playing in their league. That's why they're willing to spend so much money to bring in just one player. While the money spent by Saudi Arabian League teams might seem substantial to us, they might not think that much. That's why they're willing to go to such great lengths.

Furthermore, I've noticed that Saudi Arabian League teams haven't been active in the transfer market, especially when it comes to bringing in European players. In fact, I've seen many Saudi Arabian League players join European teams. So, I don't know the reason, but I think this will reduce the level of competition in the Saudi Arabian league. Because if it continues like this, the teams that will ultimately dominate the Saudi Arabian league will be the big teams, and I think that's less exciting. So, what are your thoughts on this?
