The Saudi Pro League’s top stars, Cristiano Ronaldo of Al-Nassr and Neymar of Al-Hilal, surprisingly did not make the list of the ten most valuable players in the league, according to data from Transfermarkt.

Leading the rankings is Moussa Diaby, the dynamic midfielder from Al-Ittihad, with a market value of €35 million. The second spot is shared by three players, each valued at €28 million: Mohamed Simakan (Al-Nassr), Moussa Diaby (Al-Ittihad), and Rúben Neves (Al-Hilal).

The exclusion of Ronaldo and Neymar, despite their global fame, underscores the rising financial and sporting value of emerging talents in the Saudi Pro League, which continues to grow as a competitive force in world football.
