Cristiano Ronaldo misses out as Saudi Pro League’s Top 10 most valuable players listed, surprise Al-Nassr star makes Top 5

Al-Nassr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo missed out on the Saudi Pro League's Top 10 most valuable players, despite being in sensational form this season.

Ronaldo kickstarted the Saudi Pro League campaign after he signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Al-Nassr in January for a reported $214.04 million per annum.

This led to numerous superstars joining various top PIF-backed Saudi clubs over the summer, including Neymar, Karim Benzema, and Sadio Mane. Even though Cristiano Ronaldo returned to his best form this season, his market value isn't high enough to break into the Top 10 list.

The Top 10 rankings are as follows (via Transfermarkt, h/t MENAFN - Khaleej Times):

10. Sadio Mane: £21.86 million (Al-Nassr)

8. Roger Ibanez: £24.48 million (Al-Ahli)

8. Aleksandar Mitrovic: £24.48 million (Al-Hilal)

6. Malcom: £26.23 million (Al-Hilal)

6. Gabri Veiga: £26.23 million (Al-Ahli)

5. Otavio: £30.60 million (Al-Nassr)

4. Fabinho: £33.22 million (Al-Ittihad)

2. Ruben Neves: £34.97 million (Al-Hilal)

2. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic: £34.97 million (Al-Hilal)

1. Neymar: £43 million (Al-Hilal)

Ronaldo has scored 16 goals and provided nine assists in 17 appearances across all competitions for Al-Nassr. Despite this, his market value is reported to be a mere £11.49 million.
