Most valuable players in the Saudi Pro League revealed with Cristiano Ronaldo not even making top 20
A former Wolves player is the second most valuable in the league
CRISTIANO RONALDO has failed to crack the top 20 most valuable players in the Saudi Pro League.
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star moved to the Middle East last year.
Ronaldo, 38, made the move after he was axed from the Red Devils following his explosive interview with Piers Morgan.
Since he joined Al-Nassr, the Portuguese forward has been a regular goalscorer for the club.
Ronaldo has netted 34 goals in 41 appearances with 16 coming this season.
Since his arrival there has been a massive influx of talent switching to the Saudi Pro League.
Stars such as Karim Benzema, Ruben Neves, and Neymar have transferred from Europe’s top leagues.
The players have signed massive contracts worth millions.
The most valuable players in the league have now been revealed by Transfermarkt.
Neymar tops the list with a value of £38million while second place is taken by Neves at £34m.

In the top 20 places there are other former Premier League stars such as Fabinho, Allan Saint-Maximin and Sadio Mane.
However, Ronaldo failed to make the leaderboard with his value decreasing to just £12m.
While his value is similar to the likes of Benzema and Luiz Felipe, those two took the last two spots.
Since moving to the Saudi Pro League Ronaldo’s value has dropped by from £17m.
Ronaldo could drop down the leaderboard even further after the January transfer window.
Players such as 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 league title.
Al-Nassr are currently second but are ten points behind Al-Hilal, although they do have a game in hand.
