Ronaldo not in top 20 most valuable players in Saudi Pro League
The list of the most valuable players in the Saudi Pro League has recently been revealed. Notably, superstar Cristiano Ronaldo did not even make it into the top 20.
Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in December last year. He left United after an explosive interview with Piers Morgan and signed a free transfer with the Saudi Pro League club.
Since joining Al Nassr, the Portuguese striker has been a regular in goal. CR7 has scored 34 goals in 41 appearances, including 16 this season.
After Ronaldo, many stars followed him to move to the Saudi Pro League such as Karim Benzema, Ruben Neves, Neymar...
Recently, the list of the most valuable players in the tournament was revealed by Transfermarkt. Accordingly, Neymar topped the list with a value of 38 million pounds while the second place belongs to Neves with a value of 34 million pounds.
Other former Premier League stars in the top 20 include Fabinho, Allan Saint-Maximin and Sadio Mane. However, Ronaldo failed to make the top 20 as his value dropped to just £12m.
Although Ronaldo's value is similar to Benzema and Luiz Felipe, those two still occupy the last two spots on the list.
Ronaldo's value has dropped by £17m since moving to the Saudi Pro League. And CR7 could fall further down the table after the January transfer window. Players like West Ham's Said Benrahma and Liverpool's Mohamned Salah have both been linked with moves to the Middle East.
To make matters worse for Ronaldo, he faces an uphill battle to win the title. Al Nassr are currently second but 10 points behind Al Hilal, although they have a game in hand.
