Ronaldo has insisted that the Saudi Pro League is part of top 5 leagues in the world Cristiano Ronaldo has emphatically reiterated his controversial assertion that the Saudi Pro League is among the top five football leagues in the world. The former Real Madrid star has committed his future to Al-Nassr with a new two-year contract. This record-breaking deal will keep the global icon in the Middle East beyond his 42nd birthday. What Ronaldo said Despite ongoing debate about the league's overall quality compared to Europe's established elite, Ronaldo has consistently championed the Saudi Pro League since his arrival in January 2023. Speaking to Al-Nassr's official media team after signing his new deal, Ronaldo stated, "Of course, we [the Saudi Pro League] are still improving but I believe that in this moment that we are in top five [leagues in the world] already. “I still believe that we will continue to improve, and we have time and we have shown in the last two years that the league is going up all the time." The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has scored 99 goals in 111 appearances for Al-Nassr with his only trophy with the club to date is the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup, where he notably scored both goals in the final against Al-Hilal.
