Cristiano Ronaldo is currently the second most valuable player in the Saudi Pro League after the arrival of Karim Benzema. Benzema has a market value of 25 million euros while Cristiano Ronaldo has a reduced market value of 15 million euros.
However, Ronaldo has established himself as one of the best players in the tournament and has had a very impressive performance for Al-Nassr in the 2022/2023 season. The 38-year-old is one of the league's top scorers and he is expected to continue to impress next season.
Benzema joined Al-Ittihad after leaving Real Madrid. The 35-year-old is currently one of the highest earning players in world football and is set to compete for the league's golden boot next season.
Cristiano Ronaldo's teammate at Al-Nassr Talisca has a market value of 15 million euros. Konan has a market value of 8 million euros, Martinez has a market value of 7 million euros while Rossi has a market value of 6 million euros. These three players all played alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.
Michael, Carlos Junior, Coronado and Guanca are some of the most valuable players in the Saudi Pro League. N'golo Kante is also set to join Al-Ittihad and the 32-year-old midfielder has a market value of €20 million.

All five of Manchester United's official signings in 2022 have been encouraging this season, but United have been too slow to push their business forward, with Casemiro and Antony signing after United lost the opening two games of the season.
While Manchester United's summer transfer window of 2022 can be seen as a success thanks to the performances of the players involved, there is one area where there is certainly room for improvement as this year's transfer play progresses. start fooling one of the newspapers.
The window opens today and the clubs are busy with deals. Liverpool have signed the World Cup-winning midfielder. It is every manager's dream to get the players through early, giving them as much time as possible to build their squad before the Premier League season begins on August 12. Erik ten Hag is no exception and he is a manager who can demand his recruiting team, both in terms of number of contracts and speed of contract signing. United will return to training in early July, play their first pre-season friendly on July 12, and fly to the United States for a four-match tour on July 20.
At the very least, Ten Hag will want some big additions to America, including a weeklong stay in San Diego, a training camp that will be key to laying the groundwork for next season.
A year ago, director of football John Murtough and his team brought some good players to Ten Hag, but their relatively late arrival may have somewhat affected the slow start of the season. When United flew to Thailand and Australia ahead of last season, they only had one new face on board, backup left-back Tyrell Malacia. Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez were signed midway through but only joined their team-mates when United returned to Carrington. This leaves them with less than two weeks and just one friendly to prepare for the start of the domestic season.
The deal to sign Casemiro was only accelerated after defeats to Brighton and Brentford and the Brazilian arrived on the eve of the third game of the season against Liverpool. There was so much consideration over the Antony deal that United ended up paying far more than the fee reported in July when he signed on the final day.
United's five official signings last summer were all successful or enough to at least buy time, but will the earlier arrivals make a difference? Ten Hag have brought United to 75 points this season, but two of their nine defeats have come in the first two games of the season.
Casemiro settled in slowly and didn't start until the eighth game of the season. The defense also started off uncertain and only subsided when Martinez combined with Raphael Varane.
Ten Hag is no different from any other manager in that he wants the players early and in fact sometimes that is not easy to do. The 53-year-old wants Harry Kane as a striker next season, but should Tottenham sell Kane to a Premier League rival it will be a slow and tortuous deal that will last for most of the period. transfer. Mason Mount is likely to arrive at the earliest, with personal terms already agreed for the 24-year-old, but United will not be ransomed by Chelsea for a player out of contract next summer. There is a difference in valuation between the two clubs at the moment.
United could increase their offer to acquire Mount, but that would take away more from a rather constrained budget due to concerns over financial fair play and
