Saudi Pro League news

How to watch the Saudi Pro League match between Al Hilal and Al-Ettifaq, as well as kick-off time and team news

Al-Ittihad have identified Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga as their top target to replace N'Golo Kante following his move to Fenerbahce. The Saudi Pro League side are reportedly preparing a bank-busting offer to lure the France international away from the Santiago Bernabeu, hoping to capitalise on his desire for a guaranteed starting role.

Cristiano Ronaldo, amid his strike action at Al-Nassr, is being backed for an “incredible” link-up with Lionel Messi in MLS. CR7 is seeing a stunning move away from the Saudi Pro League speculated on as tension mounts in the Middle East. It could be that the Portuguese superstar decides to join another GOAT in MLS as Sir David Beckham throws open the doors at Inter Miami.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been told he "doesn't have the genius" of fellow footballing greats such as Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona and Ronaldo Nazario by former Real Madrid boss Fabio Capello. The Portugal and Al-Nassr superstar is still going strong at the age of 41, and remains on track to score 1,000 career goals before he retires, but has been told he's still not one of the very best.

The president of Flamengo has revealed his club's stance on re-signing Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior as speculation continues to surround the future of the Brazil international. The forward's contract at the Santiago Bernabeu expires next year and he looked unlikely to pen an extension during Xabi Alonso's brief spell in charge of Los Blancos. Now, Luiz Eduardo Baptista has admitted his side can't commit to a deal with Vinicius any time soon.

Bayern Munich are said to be "convinced" England captain Harry Kane will sign a new contract with them despite rumours of a potential transfer to the Premier League or Saudi Pro League. The striker left Tottenham in 2023 to join the Bavarian giants and has been a big hit in Germany, scoring 123 goals for Bayern in less than three seasons. However, his current contract is due to expire in 2027 and is said to contain a clause which could see Kane leave this summer for just £57 million ($78m).

Mohamed Salah is reportedly in talks with Saudi Pro League giants Al-Ittihad over a potential move in the summer transfer window. The Egyptian has been a long-term target for Saudi Arabian clubs since the Public Investment Fund (PIF) first started pouring cash into the country's top league and Salah, who has endured a tetchy and difficult season at Liverpool, is wanted as their next marquee signing this year.

Bayern Munich have delivered an update on Harry Kane’s contract situation, with a slightly worrying admission being made by the club’s sporting director Max Eberl. He had offered hope to a loyal fan base at the Allianz Arena when revealing that “talks” were being held. It has now been revealed that prolific England international Kane is yet to form part of those discussions.

Karim Benzema reportedly provoked former Real Madrid team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo after sealing his controversial transfer to Al-Hilal, with the French forward said to have sent a Saudi Pro League title joke to a disgruntled friend that has taken strike action at Al-Nassr. Ronaldo was left frustrated at seeing a fellow Ballon d’Or winner change clubs during the winter transfer window.

Jorge Jesus has reportedly sent an ultimatum to Al-Nassr’s board, with the Portuguese coach making it clear that his future in the Saudi Pro League is directly tied to that of fellow countryman Cristiano Ronaldo. CR7 has taken to going on strike of late, as grievances in the Middle East are aired, and there is an exit clause in his contract that can be triggered in the summer transfer window.

Harry Kane has been targeted by Saudi Pro League clubs ahead of the summer transfer window, per a new report from Kicker. The England captain has a contract until 2027 but the new report states that a release clause may well exist in his current deal. Kane has impressed again this season with Bayern, scoring 24 times in just 21 Bundesliga games for the Bavarians.

Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos has defended his former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo over his Al-Nassr strike, insisting "no-one would watch the Saudi Pro League" if he were not playing in the country. The Portugal international is poised to end his two-game strike and return to competitive attack with Jorge Jesus's side after returning to training this week.

Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly ready to end his strike at Al-Nassr as he prepares to return for the Saudi Arabian club. The former Real Madrid and Manchester United superstar had refused to play for his side in protest at their transfer dealings in January, missing the team's last two matches, but Al-Nassr have now pencilled in the date for their superstar's return.

Cristiano Ronaldo is generating transfer talk at Al-Nassr, having gone on strike in the Saudi Pro League, with a return to Europe for the Portuguese GOAT being speculated on. It has been suggested that the 41-year-old frontman could be targeted by Manchester United for a third spell at Old Trafford, but the Red Devils’ stance on a stunning deal has been revealed.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been urged to “never stop playing football”, with fellow Real Madrid legend Roberto Carlos telling the Portuguese GOAT that he needs to prolong his career for as long as possible - even if he ends up “with one leg or crawling”. CR7 has passed his 41st birthday without giving any thought to retirement and is expected to grace the 2026 World Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been told that he “needs to know his place”, with the Portuguese superstar being reminded that he would have “never entered the White House” alongside President Donald Trump if it were not for the backing of the Saudi Pro League - a division that the Ballon d’Or-winning Al-Nassr striker is currently taking shock strike action against.

Cristiano Ronaldo is being tipped to leave Al-Nassr in the summer transfer window if Liverpool star Mohamed Salah makes the switch to the Saudi Pro League. The Portugal superstar's future at the club is currently in doubt amid a protest against the Public Investment Fund (PIF) over transfers which has seen Ronaldo left out of his club's last two league matches.
