Cristiano Ronaldo has taken the Saudi Pro League by storm. After signing a deal with Al Nassr for $200 million, the player initiated a multitude of European signings for the league. Players like Neymar, then Ballon d’Or holder Karim Benzema, and treble winner Riyadh Mahrez were a few of the names to arrive in the Middle East. Hence, it would not be a bad idea for Tebas to consider the highest goal scorer in the world to be his ambassador.
Apart from on-field accolades, Ronaldo is also the most followed athlete on social media, and his reach is very wide in terms of audience. Lionel Messi and himself are the highest scorers in the league and have won eight UEFA Champions Leagues for their clubs. And with the legacy he built, there is always a way for Ronaldo to be back in Spain.
