يشهد الدوري السعودي لكرة القدم في صيف 2025 واحدة من أكثر فترات الانتقالات نشاطاً في تاريخه، حيث تواصل الأندية جذب الأسماء اللامعة وتعزيز صفوفها بلاعبين قادرين على رفع مستوى المنافسة محلياً وقارياً. هذا النشاط الكبير وضع الدوري السعودي على خريطة الميركاتو العالمي ليس فقط بحجم الصفقات، بل أيضاً بوتيرة الأحداث المثيرة خلف الكواليس.
الأرقام تكشف إنفاقاً ضخماً يضع الأندية السعودية ضمن مصاف الدوريات العالمية الكبرى، بينما تظل الأحاديث الجانبية تدور حول اختلافات الجماهير بشأن لجان الاستقطاب والإدارات وآلية الصرف وتوزيع المداخيل وإعلان الميزانية لكل نادٍ.
بين الشفافية والغموض
أكبر إشكالية في الميركاتو الحالي ليست فقط في قيمة الصفقات، بل في غياب الشفافية، فالأندية تعلن أرقاماً عامة دون تفاصيل، والجماهير تبقى في حالة غموض بين وعود الإدارة وواقع الفريق، هذه الفجوة تولّد فقدان الثقة، وتجعل أي إخفاق في الموسم المقبل مادة جاهزة للنقد والهجوم.
لذلك، إذا أرادت الأندية الحفاظ على ثقة جماهيرها فعليها أن توضح استراتيجيتها المالية بصدق، وأن تتعامل مع الميركاتو بعقلانية دون قتل الطموح، فالمشجع لا يطالب بمعجزة، لكنه يرفض أن يرى ناديه الغني يتصرف وكأنه فقير.
أبرز الصفقات في الدوري السعودي
المفاجأة الكبرى كانت من نصيب الأندية الصاعدة، فالقادسية تصدّر القائمة بإنفاق بلغ 116.06 مليون يورو، أبرزها صفقة المهاجم الأرجنتيني ماتيّو ريتيغي.
أما نادي نيوم، الذي أراهن عليه هذا الموسم، جاء ثانياً بـ 89.19 مليون يورو عبر مجموعة من التعاقدات النوعية لتعزيز مختلف المراكز.
أما الأندية الكبرى فالهلال ضم المهاجم نونيز مقابل 53 مليون يورو، إضافة إلى تدعيمات أخرى لتعزيز القوة الهجومية.
ونادي النصر تعاقد مع البرتغالي جواو فيليكس مقابل 30 مليون يورو في صفقة تمنح الفريق إضافة فنية وخبرة أوروبية.
هذه الصفقات تؤكد أن الميركاتو السعودي لم يعد يقتصر على الأسماء فوق الثلاثين، بل بدأ يشمل لاعبين في ذروة عطائهم، وهو تطور مهم في استراتيجية التعاقدات.
الجماهير وخلافات الدعم
رغم الأرقام الضخمة تبقى الجماهير في حيرة عن سبب تعطل الخطط رغم توفر السيولة، بالإضافة إلى أن الأندية الكبرى أعربت عن استيائها لعدم حصولها على الحصص المتوقعة وسط اتهامات بعدم الدعم، فيما يردد المشجعون عند كل صفقة كبيرة «الله يخلي الريّس».
موسم مليء بالتحديات
الصفقات المعلنة تشير إلى موسم قادم مليء بالمواجهات المثيرة، فالأندية الصاعدة تدخل بثقة وميزانيات قوية، بينما تعزّز الأندية الكبرى صفوفها؛ للحفاظ على مكانتها والمنافسة على جميع البطولات.
نجح الدوري السعودي في أن يكون حديث الميركاتو العالمي من حيث الأرقام والأسماء، لكن استمرار النجاح يتطلب شفافية أكبر في إدارة الصفقات والميزانيات، وتوزيع الدعم بشكل استراتيجي بين الصفقات الكبيرة، وتطوير المواهب المحلية واختيار اللاعب الأنسب للنادي لا اللاعب المتاح فقط. فالإنفاق القياسي قد يجذب الأضواء، لكن النجاح الحقيقي سيقاس بما تحققه هذه الصفقات على أرض الملعب، وبقدرة الأندية على الاستدامة المالية والفنية في المواسم المقبلة.

The Saudi Professional League for football is witnessing one of the most active transfer periods in its history in the summer of 2025, as clubs continue to attract star names and strengthen their squads with players capable of raising the level of competition both locally and continentally. This significant activity has placed the Saudi league on the global transfer market map, not only due to the size of the deals but also because of the pace of exciting events behind the scenes.
The numbers reveal massive spending that positions Saudi clubs among the ranks of major global leagues, while side discussions continue to revolve around fans' differing opinions regarding recruitment committees, management, spending mechanisms, revenue distribution, and budget announcements for each club.
Between Transparency and Ambiguity
The biggest issue in the current transfer market is not just the value of the deals, but the lack of transparency. Clubs announce general figures without details, leaving fans in a state of ambiguity between management promises and the team's reality. This gap generates a loss of trust and makes any failure in the upcoming season a ready subject for criticism and attack.
Therefore, if clubs want to maintain the trust of their fans, they must clarify their financial strategy honestly and approach the transfer market rationally without killing ambition. The fan does not demand a miracle but refuses to see their wealthy club act as if it were poor.
Major Transfers in the Saudi League
The biggest surprise came from the promoted clubs, with Al-Qadisiyah topping the list with spending of €116.06 million, highlighted by the signing of Argentine striker Mateo Retegui.
Meanwhile, Neom FC, which I am betting on this season, came in second with €89.19 million through a series of quality signings to strengthen various positions.
As for the major clubs, Al-Hilal signed striker Nunez for €53 million, in addition to other reinforcements to bolster their attacking strength.
Al-Nassr signed Portuguese João Félix for €30 million in a deal that adds technical flair and European experience to the team.
These transfers confirm that the Saudi transfer market is no longer limited to players over thirty but has begun to include players at the peak of their performance, which is an important development in the contracting strategy.
Fans and Support Disputes
Despite the huge numbers, fans remain puzzled about why plans are stalled despite the availability of funds. Additionally, major clubs have expressed their dissatisfaction at not receiving the expected shares amid accusations of a lack of support, while fans chant "May God protect the president" with every big transfer.
A Season Full of Challenges
The announced transfers indicate an upcoming season filled with exciting confrontations, as promoted clubs enter with confidence and strong budgets, while major clubs are reinforcing their squads to maintain their status and compete in all tournaments.
The Saudi league has succeeded in becoming the talk of the global transfer market in terms of numbers and names, but continued success requires greater transparency in managing transfers and budgets, strategically distributing support among major deals, developing local talents, and selecting the most suitable player for the club rather than just the available one. While record spending may attract attention, true success will be measured by what these transfers achieve on the pitch and the clubs' ability to maintain financial and technical sustainability in the upcoming seasons.
