Cristiano Ronaldo: why only he justifies his record salary in Saudi Arabia.

Assessment of expenses on football players in the Saudi Premier League

CRISTIANO RONALDO is the ONLY overseas player in the Saudi Pro League that is truly worth his eye-watering salary, according to a former sports minister.

Prince Abdullah bin Musaad sharply assessed the expenses of the Saudi Premier League, stating that other foreign stars are not worth the money they are paid. He noted that Ronaldo's salary is fully justified, as his contribution to the league is significant.

• Ronaldo is the only foreign player that is truly worth spending the budget on.
• Other players do not demonstrate the corresponding level of play or impact on the league.

This criticism indicates a general dissatisfaction regarding transfer expenses and payments to foreign footballers in the region. The situation has sparked discussions among fans and experts questioning the feasibility of such investments in sports. The criticism may affect the further development of the league's transfer policy, particularly regarding attracting new talents.
