Lionel Messi is currently 36 years old and has a market value of €45 million. He's one of the most valuable players in the world right now and will play for Inter Miami next season. Messi joined the MLS side following his departure from PSG. He netted 16 goals and provided 16 assists for PSG in Ligue 1 last season, helping the club win the league title but failing to help them win the UEFA Champions League. He was booed by PSG supporters in his last game at the club.

Ronaldo is currently 38 years old and has a market value of €15 million. He's among the most valuable players in the Saudi Arabian League and has remained highly consistent in his performance with Al-Nassr. Ronaldo can be considered the best striker in the Saudi Pro League.


Luka Modric is currently 37 years old and has a market value of €10 million. He's expected to play for Real Madrid next season, and the Croatian midfielder can be considered one of the greatest players of all time. Modric recently helped Croatia reach the Nations League. However, they were unable to get past Spain in the final.

Borussia Dortmund 37-year-old custodian Manuel Neuer has a market value of €7 million. Ramos is 37 years old and has a market value of €6 million. Market values for Suarez, Navas, and Olivier Giroud total €4 million each. The three athletes are older than 35.


 Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain becomes the latest star to attract interest from Saudi

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is the latest high-profile player to be chased by the Saudi Pro League.

Oxlade-Chamberlain, 29, is a free agent having been released by Liverpool after six seasons and would be the first England international to play in Saudi Arabia if he accepts their offer.

The former Southampton and Arsenal midfielder, who won the Premier League during his time at Anfield, is debating whether to take up the lucrative opportunity or continue trying to pursue a career in Europe.

The Saudis are investing heavily in talent and Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly and N’Golo Kante have already left the Premier League to join Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in the Gulf.

Oxlade-Chamberlain would be seen as a coup for the Saudis because of his 35 England caps and large social media presence.

He scored 18 goals in 146 games for The Reds following a £35million move from Arsenal in 2017 and had to overcome injuries along the way.
